The Design

About Post Herbum Verpackung

Ganze in Litauen angebaute Kräuter wurden als Inspiration für die Schaffung einer exklusiven Verpackung sowie für den Wunsch, das organische und raffinierte Produkt visuell auszudrücken. Die ungewöhnliche und gleichzeitig einfache Form des Dreiecks ermöglicht es, ein einfaches Produkt in einer interessanteren Verpackung zu enthüllen. Мilky weiße und braune Farben zeigen Ökologie und Natürlichkeit der Kräuter an. Schlanke Illustrationen und Zurückhaltung im Stil unterstreichen den Wert von Kräutern, die von Hand gesammelt werden. Sanft und genau wie das zerbrechliche Produkt selbst.

Design includes the solution of such tasks as usability, functionality and environmental friendliness.
