About Yihe Dim Sum Emballagedesign

Yihe Dim Sum er et emballagedesign til et Beijing-inspireret bagværksmærke, der sælges ved Sommerpaladset. Den ydre æske måler 230 x 230 x 60 millimeter og indeholder fire mindre æsker på 110 x 110 x 45 millimeter. Fire velkendte steder ved Sommerpaladset er illustreret for at repræsentere de fire bagværkssmage. Illustrationerne kombinerer traditionel kinesisk arkitektur med en pop art-stil og collageelementer fra traditionelle malerier. Æsken anvender UV-print, et mellemlag af papir, bronzeret sidetekst og stansede kanter for øget holdbarhed.
