About Mi Bluetooth Headset Mini 耳机包装
小米蓝牙耳机迷你版是为一款轻巧的运动耳机所打造的包装。耳机外壳造型极简，仅设有一枚圆形按键。包装采用著名音乐家的形象，使椭圆形的耳机外壳被解读为头部，而按键则成为张开的嘴巴。由此营造出歌手或指挥家的意象，为简约的产品赋予鲜明个性。PET托盘将耳机与线控器固定在正面，导线则隐藏于内。纸质外壳则确保整体结构稳固。该设计旨在吸引18至29岁的用户群体。

- Unique Properties
- The design of the product is quite minimalistic, with only a circular button on the shell. To make it more interesting, the design use images of famous musicians in the packaging, contributing to a personification of the product: the oval shape becomes the head, and the button becomes an open mouth. This creates the image of a composer passionately singing or vigorously conducting an orchestra, giving voice to an otherwise low-profile product, at the same time highlighting its design element.

- dimension: height 79mm, Length 110mm, width 28mm

- Production Technology
- The visual design require to hide the wires, only leave the headset and controller out. Therefore the packaging structure design must consider how to hide the wires and still keep the whole packaging structure solidly. By using PET tray inside and a paper cover outside, the front of the packaging only shows the handset and controller.
material: Paper, PET - Design Challenge
- As the target audiences are 18 to 29 year-olds, the design should make the products most close to the trendy of young's culture.
- Research
- Mi Bluetooth headset is a low profile product that targets the lower end of the sports headset market. The retail price for the product is 10 Euro in China. The overall packaging budget was limited to about 0.6 Euro. So it is the design task to add some attractive elements to its packaging and make it outstanding from the shelves.
- Inspiration
- In current China, the young generation has a rage for animation, comics, and games. They spontaneously create a lot of trending content that personified objects into lively characters. To make this low-profit product easier to approach the young generation, our design strategy is to imbue a product with personality and to visually personify the product.
