About Fortune Express Baijiu-verpakking

Fortune Express is een verpakkingsontwerp voor baijiu. De doos met zadeldak meet 280 bij 150 bij 230 millimeter en wordt vanaf de onderkant geopend. Bij het optillen van elke binnenflap komen vijf flessen tevoorschijn, en elke fles toont een andere God van de Rijkdom in een kleur van de Vijf Elementen. Onder de flessen bevinden zich vijf pluchen blind boxes die worden opengescheurd om kleine gestileerde figuurtjes te onthullen. De buitendoos is afgewerkt met foliedruk en de etiketten zijn digitaal geprint. De pluchen poppen zijn gemaakt van zachte polyestervezel met geborduurde details.
