Songfengruo Ancient Tree is a gift box designed for premium black tea. The outer box measures 240 mm by 60 mm by 240 mm and holds three small drawers, each 65 mm by 40 mm by 150 mm. A pine needle symbol was created for the brand and repeated as a tiled pattern on the drawers. Colorless relief printing adds depth to the flat paper. The neatly arranged drawers recall the Chinese folding screen. Dark brown tones and paper with tea fiber and texture express the brand's pursuit of nature, health, and quality.

- Inspiration
- We created a pine needle symbol that is representative of the brand and enhanced brand recognition through the use of a single element and a tiled pattern. The pine needle pattern is tiled on the three individual drawers inside, and a colorless relief printing technique enhances the expressiveness of the flat paper. When the large box is opened, the three smaller drawers are neatly arranged, also alluding to the Chinese cultural concept of a screen.
