The Design

About Mi Watch Li Bai Smart Watch

Mi Watch Li Bai is the packaging designed for a smart watch. The box is made of paper and holds a paper pulp tray, so no plastic is used. A three-dimensional hologram is applied to the dial area of the package. Water ripples appear to flow when the box is viewed from different angles. Embossed printing and a special ink reproduce the look and texture of the dial and the strap. The watch rests on a raised part of the tray instead of a recess, so the watch appears to float. The package measures 295 by 79 by 49 millimeters.
