About Kolompeh Pastei-verpakking

Kolompeh is 'n verpakkingsontwerp vir tradisionele Kerman-gebak wat met dadels gevul en met druiwestroop versoet word. Die boks is gemaak van karton wat met water-gebaseerde materiale bedek is om die verpakking omgewingsvriendelik te hou. Illustrasies bedek die oppervlaktes en toon karakters geïnspireer deur die voorvaders van Kerman, met lang snorre en klere versier met Persiese patrone. Goue en lewendige gedrukte kleure dui op gehalte, en elke kleur verwys na 'n geursoort. Die gebak word binne-in op voedselgraad-waspapier gerangskik. Die ontwerp verbind plaaslike kuns met die moderne mark.
