About White Album Packaging Design
White Album is a packaging design for a music album, shaped as a buildable spacecraft model. The outer box is pure white and holds a sketch patterned slipcase, with UV printing that reflects rainbow light. The lid is decorated with silver foil stamping and a three dimensional graphic. Two panels and a transparent cabin assemble into a bird inspired craft that serves as a desktop ornament and a phone stand. An NFC chip gives access to the digital album, and the CD is stored in the base. The lyric booklet unfolds into a poster.

- Production Technology
- The design integrates graphic art with 3D modeling. Visuals are deconstructed into assembly components, while 3D line drawings are adapted for print. Centered on the theme of White, natural paper and ABS eco plastic are combined with holographic silver, foil stamping, and laser printing to create rainbow light effects. Techniques include transparent UV and holographic foil card, with an embedded NFC chip enabling digital interaction, accompanied by a CD and stickers, balancing structure, texture, and technology.
- Design Challenge
- The core challenge included transforming abstract concepts, the artists image, and the 3D form of the logo into a mass producible assembly model. The design needed to balance structural strength, assembly experience, NFC interaction, CD storage, and phone-stand functionality, ensuring a seamless integration of artistic expression, industrial structure, and practical use, while maintaining precision and conceptual integrity.
- Research
- Through market research, we defined Zhang Yuan's image of sunshine and dreams, fan expectations, and the concept of White. Inspired by the studio logo, the design integrates a model kit, NFC interaction, and spacecraft stickers. Based on the artist team's requirements, our design team led overall planning, graphic design, and structural development. The final outcome unifies album, model, artist identity, and digital music, combining collectible, assembly, practical, and commemorative value.
- Inspiration
- The overall design of White is inspired by a boy toy model kit, incorporating the form of a spacecraft. When assembled, it transforms into a white bird in flight, also representing the three dimensional form of Zhang Yuan Studio logo. Zhang Yuan, known as Bird, is seen as bright and warm. Bird can fly reflects his simple yet determined belief in pursuing dreams. The album symbolizes a boy assembling his dreams through talent and effort, finally soaring onto a radiant stage.
- Project Duration
- September to December 2025
- Operation Flow
- Unboxing: the sleeve subtly reveals Zhang Yuan, while the UV printed White reflects rainbow light.
