About Mahjong Lucky Coffee Koffieverpakking

Mahjong Lucky Coffee is een koffieverpakkingsontwerp geïnspireerd op mahjong, een traditioneel Chinees spel. Elke zak bevat een maand koffie, wat gelijk staat aan twee handen mahjongstenen. Eén hand is gerangschikt als een winnende hand. De tweede hand wordt voltooid door de koper, want elke portie koffie wordt getrokken als een steen en het patroon blijft onbekend totdat de portie geopend wordt. Felle oranje en rode kleuren en een jeugdige typografie spreken jonge consumenten aan. Er worden twee smaken aangeboden. De verpakking maakt van een dagelijkse gewoonte een spel.
