Design Details

Unique Properties
The Seven Moons is a 7 flavor variety pack, available in Tasting Pack and Mid Autumn Gift Box editions. The packaging takes the circle as the core visual element, featuring circular cans, an illustration of the melting moon, and a moonlit night color palette to create a cohesive and festive visual identity system. The outer box adopts a detachable belly band with an insert card and houses 7 distinctively labeled circular cans, seamlessly blending functionality with a sense of ritual.
Inspiration
Inspired by the poetic notion that cats love circular cans and people love full moons, the packaging subtly integrates the natural affinity of cats for circular containers with human cultural symbolism, where the Mid Autumn full moon represents reunion. This frames the Mid Autumn Festival as a shared moment between owners and pets, extending the traditional festival theme of human reunion to encompass the modern emotional expression of companionship between humans and their pets.
Research
In recent years, pets have increasingly been regarded as family members and emotional companions. Against this backdrop, traditional festive occasions, particularly the Mid Autumn Festival which centers on reunion, have gradually expanded from human gatherings to shared moments between humans and pets. Leveraging the strong market recognition of its Hearty Gravy Cans series, the brand has launched a limited edition variety pack, allowing owners to share meaningful rituals with their pets.
Challenge
The packaging builds an emotional narrative around owners and pets celebrating the Mid Autumn Festival together. The circular can echoes the Mid Autumn full moon, highlighting reunion and companionship. A warm, multicolored moonlit night palette, each color representing a distinct flavor, creates a recognizable visual identity and celebrates the joy of everyday life shared between owners and pets. For the first time, the moon is transformed from a cultural symbol into a card inserted belly band.
Realization and Technology
The outer box and belly band are made from eco friendly, recyclable paper. Their surfaces are finished with a matte film to improve tactile comfort and minimize glare, ensuring illustrations appear in warm, soft tones. The food grade aluminum cans boast excellent sealing performance to preserve freshness. High precision four color offset printing is utilized for realistic flavor illustrations, making each flavor instantly recognizable.
Operation and Interaction
The packaging emphasizes the participatory ritual, inviting users to personally pick the moon when opening or gifting the product. The insert card of the belly band mimics the melting moon, serving as both a visual focal point and afestive keepsake card to infuse the unboxing process with emotional warmth and memorability. Moreover, the cans are printed with realistic flavor illustrations, allowing consumers to identify flavors and combinations at a glance.
Project Duration and Location
The project started in April 2025. The product was launched in September 2025.
