Unique Properties: The box was made for whole herbal tea. The tea box has an unusual triangular shape with sleeve. To pack two types of herbs, the packaging takes on a diamond shape as the style continues. Since the product is natural, the packaging was designed to be environmentally friendly, organic. Die cut of the boxes was invented in a such way that the boxes are folded in a simple way, without gluing or fixing parts. Sleeves are also folded without gluing. Design includes the solution of such tasks as usability, functionality and environmental friendliness.
