🎀 Packaging Designs That Are Breaking the Mold

#hottake: it’s not just what’s on the inside that counts.

🎁 Some product designs are more than just sheer packaging. They’re exquisite, unique, and refreshing works of their own accord, worth celebrating and cherishing. These product designs elevate the art of packaging, employing humor, stories, and interactive experiences to delightful ends.

♻️ Taoyuan Wonderland Album Cover by Ti-Ming Chu Workshop struck Gold in Packaging Design for Social Change. Drawing inspiration from Tao Yuanming’s The Peach Blossom Spring, the album features an ethereal scene drizzled through with mid-day sunlight and then opens up into deeply saturated blues and bright teals, interspersed with pictures.

♻️ 2023’s Gold Winner in Packaging Design for Graphic Design, Time Traveler by Etch Design explores tea consumption's dignified and fascinating history in China by paying direct homage to the Qing, Ming, Tang, and Qin dynasties. With hyper-realistic, era-accurate portraits of court ladies surrounded by camelia, peony, daffodils, and chrysanthemums, the packaging invites each consumer to transcend time and experience the whole of Chinese tea culture in each sip.

♻️ Shrimp Shack, by D-Tales Creative Boutique, an Agency Silver Winner in Branding for Graphic Design, is a deliberately and gloriously disorganized blend of bright blues and deep oranges mingling with geometric aquatic elements that speak to the client’s commitment to the environment.
