About Yihe Dim Sum Verpakkingsontwerp

Yihe Dim Sum is een verpakkingsontwerp voor een banketmerk in Beijing-stijl dat verkocht wordt bij het Zomerpaleis. De buitendoos meet 230 bij 230 bij 60 millimeter en bevat vier kleinere doosjes van 110 bij 110 bij 45 millimeter. Vier bekende bezienswaardigheden van het Zomerpaleis zijn geïllustreerd om de vier gebaksmaken te vertegenwoordigen. De illustraties combineren traditionele Chinese architectuur met een popart-stijl en collage-elementen ontleend aan traditionele schilderkunst. De doos maakt gebruik van UV-printing, een papieren tussenlaag, verbronsde zijteksten en uitgesneden randen voor extra duurzaamheid.
