Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The product as the core of the visual. On the left side, the concise and clear layout and allocation of products far or near, in limited space, create a vision to expand space. Top-down rain fall chocolate sauce realized the scene from static to dynamic. Packaging integral colour collocation chose brown as the main color to represent product flavor and characteristics with visual perception. Concise design and colour combination, clearly conveys the product information and the transmission of feeling.
- Inspiration
- In addition to protection products, food packaging is shouldering the mission of transferring product information to consumers, cause their appetite sense. In reality, we need through the visual, taste, smell, and other sensory perception and experience to finish building feeling, causing appetite. But the packing can only visual rendering. So in the design, we need to use visual to evoke the imagination from other sensory experiences.

Most of the time, consumers see abstract design graphics, which doesn't help them make purchase decisions. They can only decide to buy by the brand size. We collect the opinions of consumers, select the most mentioned opinions from them, and find the solutions.
- Challenge

- Realization and Technology
- Use Ivory board for packaging materials, and use gold stamping to print the selected elements.

Products placed in a box in the form of independent packaging, to ensure that after consumers open the box, flavor and taste of products will not be affected by external factors, and being convenient for consumers to carry while going out.
