About Constellation بسته‌بندی فندک

کانستلیشن (صورت فلکی) یک طراحی بسته‌بندی نسخه محدود برای فندک‌های کلکسیونی است. این بسته‌بندی از طریق نقاط کوچکی روی سطح خود روشن می‌شود و چراغ‌ها می‌توانند یکی‌یکی روشن شوند تا صورت‌های فلکی مختلف زودیاک را شکل دهند. در پایان این جلوه، نورها به‌آرامی محو و روشن می‌شوند. جلوه نوری با کابل USB قابل شارژ است و در حالت شارژ کامل دوازده ساعت دوام می‌آورد. فندک‌ها با آهنربا به بسته‌بندی داخلی متصل می‌مانند، بنابراین جعبه می‌تواند به‌عنوان یک ویترین نمایش نیز استفاده شود. یک میله مثلثی پنهان در پشت جعبه باز می‌شود تا بسته‌بندی به‌صورت عمودی بایستد. کاغذ ماده اصلی به‌کاررفته در این طراحی است.

It enhances the esthetic aspect of the packaging and highlights the concept in a unique way. The lighters can be directly placed on top of the inner packaging as magnets are attached underneath. Moreover, the packaging can be used as a display tool - the user can make it stand by pulling out a triangular bar which is hidden on the back side of the packaging.

To achieve the light effect, the team collaborated with several engineers for more than two months. They helped the team develop and establish a new light program, according to the design specifically.

Inspiration
The each constellation lighter was designed based on different zodiac signs. It aims to appeal to Zippo enthusiastic - provide a comprehensive collection to them, the packaging was exclusively developed as a limited edition with only a hundred units produced.

Operation Flow
The light effect shines through the small dots on the surface of the packaging. At the end of the effect, the lights are slowly breathing.
