About Golden Seasons Brick 차 패키지 디자인

골든 시즌스 브릭(Golden Seasons Brick)은 압축 보이차 전차(磚茶)를 위한 패키지 디자인이다. 외부 슬리브는 앤티크 질감의 특수지에 인장 모티프를 음각으로 새기고 금박을 입혀 제작했다. 내부에는 금색 카드지와 회색 판지로 구성된 이중 구조의 서랍형 상자가 자리하며, 금박으로 개별 포장된 18개의 전차를 트레이당 9개씩 담고 있다. 충격 방지 홈이 운송 중 전차를 보호한다. 각 전차의 중량은 4그램으로, 이 숫자는 중국어에서 사계(四季)를 뜻하는 표현과 상통한다. 트레이는 교체가 가능해 상자를 다시 채워 재사용할 수 있다.

Unique Properties
Golden Seasons Brick Cultural narratives empower functionality. The name vintage (homophone for "cultural relics" ) embodies temporal depth through three imprints: mountain veins, tea leaves, and fingerprints. The 4g brick (phonetically "Four Seasons" ) is gold-foil sealed as a time capsule. Imperial seal engravings elevate tea brewing into a collectible ritual, redefining Guochao (China's cultural renaissance) tea experiences for modern mobility.
Dimensions & Packaging
80mmx80mmx40mm box with dual-layer structure (2 trays x 9 bricks). The 9x2 configuration mirrors the Eastern philosophy of (9x9 returning to unity), symbolizing cyclical renewal.

Production Technology
Outer Sleeve​ Antique-textured specialty paper with debossed imperial seals. Gold foil stamps highlight the Vintage brand and tea brick details.
Inner Structure​ Dual-layer drawer box (gold cardstock + eco greyboard) holds 9 gold-foil-wrapped tea bricks per layer. Anti-shock slots prevent breakage during travel. Refillable design reduces packaging waste.
Design Challenge
Vintage resolves the ritual-portability paradox through a threefold symbolic system (mountain/tea/fingerprint textures). We translated imperial seals into tactile geometric patterns, paired with a 4g brick (phonetic "Four Seasons" in Chinese) that bridges nature, tea, and human craft.
Research
Vintage addresses tea-drinking challenges for mobile youth by reinterpreting Qing emperors’ seal motifs (Qianlong/Yongzheng) into minimalist icons. The 4g brick, phonetically echoing “Four Seasons” in Chinese, is gold-foil wrapped as a cultural time capsule. Its modular system (replaceable FSC-certified trays) enables 20-second brewing anywhere, boosting reorders by 300% while educating sustainable habits through packaging reusability and material circularity.
Inspiration
In fast paced urban life and frequent travel, modern individuals seek moments of respite through natural rituals that soothe the body and mind.
Vintage embraces "Tea Accompanies the Seasons," distilling the rich flavor of Yunnan ancient tree Pu-erh and the serene aesthetics of Eastern artifacts into a 4g portable "Four Seasons Gold Brick." The "4g" cleverly symbolizes the seasons, allowing the tea’s aroma to flow with nature’s rhythms, seamlessly integrating into work, home, and travel.
Project Duration
Project Timeline: Initiated in Shenzhen, China (September 2024) and delivered as a market-ready packaging system by January 2025
Operation Flow
Ritual Reboot​ Removing the belly band becomes a ceremonial unboxing act, mirroring Gen-Z's cultural pride in China's heritage.
Functional Luxury​ 18 golden bricks arranged in vault-like precision. 20-second brew ritual balances extravagance and efficiency.
