About Grandpa Gui Tea Packaging
Grandpa Gui is a tea packaging design created for a herbal tea brand. The packaging is made of matte special paper, printed with Pantone colors and finished with embossing. Illustrations of the herbs and flowers contained in the tea are shown on the surface. A light color palette reflects the light character of the product.
