The Design

About Long Xi Incense Stick Packaging

Long Xi is a packaging design for incense sticks. An aluminum-coated film bag encases a wooden box, creating a contrast between the two materials. The wooden box uses a curved sliding structure and layered cotton paper labels in place of conventional plastic seals. Inside, the contents are stacked, and a sponge-padded cardboard layer protects them during transport while carrying brand information. An accessory box with a handle sits at the bottom. Gold stamping and embossing reproduce dragon and bronze patterns from ancient China.

Production Technology
To seamlessly blend the wooden box's appearance with historical culture, we use various cotton paper labels for sealing and printing historical documentary materials, Gold stamping and embossing techniques add visual depth, ensuring meticulous replication of bronze patterns from 2400 years ago. This fosters a connection with past culture, evokes emotional resonance, and enhances cultural identity.
The packaging employs advanced technology for precise replication, with materials of enhanced texture and special techniques, ensuring exceptional quality and execution in both appearance and tactile experience.
Design Challenge
Finding the balance between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary aesthetics has always been the biggest challenge for our team, especially when it comes to avoiding the visual staleness often associated with traditional craft packaging. Making overly innovative changes could lead to a deviation from existing market perceptions. We strive to find opportunities for integration between traditional heritage and modern sensibilities, bridging the gap between tradition and contemporary taste.
Research
The dragon motif and bronze patterns used in this craft are derived from bronze artifacts dating back to the Warring States period of ancient China, around 2600 years ago. We have extracted these exquisite patterns and transformed them into products that align with contemporary aesthetics and usage patterns. This allows us to better appreciate traditional wisdom and the aesthetics of ancient civilizations.
Inspiration
This bronze incense holder packaging seamlessly combines visual inspiration from Eastern culture dating back 2400 years, providing users with a distinctive cultural ritual experience. Building upon a contemporary reinterpretation of Eastern culture, we skillfully blend electroplated aluminum film bags with wooden materials, perfectly encasing the wooden box to create a design that exudes a heightened sense of technology.
Project Duration
Completed in Shenzhen from December 2022 to October 2023
Operation Flow
In the structure of the wooden box, we have incorporated a curved sliding mechanism for easy retrieval of the product. Internally, the design employs a stacked arrangement, with a top layer covered by sponge-padded cardboard. This not only protects the product from compression during transportation but also provides an opportunity to showcase brand information. At the bottom, there is an accessory assembly box with convenient handles for easy accessory retrieval. Thanks to the stacked structure, the entire packaging has reduced dimensions, ensuring safe transportation while saving on shipping costs.
