The Design

About Alpine Ancient Trees Dark Tea

Alpine Ancient Trees is a packaging design for dark tea. The outer box is a clamshell form made in one piece from F-flute corrugated paper laminated with single-faced F-flute corrugated paper. Layers of corrugated paper are stacked to create a contour shape that recalls a tea mountain and the natural setting of ancient tea trees. The stacked base also holds the pressed tea in place. The box measures 284 by 226 by 94 millimetres and can be shipped flat to reduce transport costs. After use, the tray can hold a small bonsai on a desk. All materials are recyclable.
