About Hailuo In-Ear Headphone
Hailuo is a packaging design created for an in-ear headphone. Instead of showing a product photograph, the packaging presents an image of a sliced nautilus shell with the headphone placed inside the spiral cavity. The spiral form of the shell is linked to the resonance of sound. The whole image is embossed on the surface to give the nautilus a real feeling. Silver paper with black ink gives the package a low sparkle that suggests advanced technology. The draw-out box holds two layers, so the headphone and its wires are seen first and the accessories rest below.
