It enhances the esthetic aspect of the packaging and highlights the concept in a unique way. The lighters can be directly placed on top of the inner packaging as magnets are attached underneath. Moreover, the packaging can be used as a display tool - the user can make it stand by pulling out a triangular bar which is hidden on the back side of the packaging.

Production Technology
The company always considers sustainability when it comes to deciding packaging materials. Predominately paper was used to create the packaging.
Design Challenge
To achieve the light effect, the team collaborated with several engineers for more than two months. They helped the team develop and establish a new light program, according to the design specifically.

After several trials, the team were able to install the effect and successfully attached it in the packaging.
Research

As the lighter products in the packaging are under high-end product line of Zippo, it was crucial to appeal Zippo enthusiasts and loyal consumers who regularly collect the brand's products.
Inspiration
The each constellation lighter was designed based on different zodiac signs. It aims to appeal to Zippo enthusiastic - provide a comprehensive collection to them, the packaging was exclusively developed as a limited edition with only a hundred units produced.
The overall shape of the inner packaging was inspired by a spaceship and the surface was designed with a simple and abstract image which represents beautiful stars at night.
Project Duration
The project started in April 2020 and launched in February 2021 in China.
Operation Flow
The light effect shines through the small dots on the surface of the packaging. At the end of the effect, the lights are slowly breathing. The effect is rechargeable with an enveloped USB cable and it lasts for twelve hours once it is fully charged. Also, the effect can be easily turned on and off by pressing a switch, which is installed in the packaging - it was designed with a consideration of the cost and energy efficiency.
