About Constellation Ambalaža za upaljač

Constellation je dizajn ambalaže u ograničenoj ediciji za kolekcionarske upaljače. Ambalaža svijetli kroz male točkice na svojoj površini, a svjetla se mogu uključivati jedno po jedno kako bi oblikovala različite horoskopske znakove. Na kraju efekta, svjetla se polako pojačavaju i prigušuju. Svjetlosni efekt može se puniti USB kabelom i traje dvanaest sati kada je potpuno napunjen. Upaljači se drže za unutarnju ambalažu pomoću magneta, tako da se kutija može koristiti i kao izložbeni stalak. Skrivena trokutasta letvica rasklapa se na stražnjoj strani kako bi ambalaža stajala uspravno. Papir je glavni korišteni materijal.
