Model A is centered on “Festive × Story Picture”, and through illustrative visuals and a clear theme, the tin box conveys a sense of ambience and blessing at the first glance, making it suitable for period merchandise that needs to establish an emotional connection quickly.
Style B: Heartwarming language/emotional metal box
Not for the holidays, but for the words you want to say
Model B is designed with “heart” in mind, turning emotions into language that can be chosen. Each tin box no longer represents a purpose, but a feeling – sweet, bright, brave, steady – making packaging a medium to speak for you.
Model C: Connecting Worlds/Concept Steel Case
Putting “your desired world view” into a metal box!
From the perspective of “connection”,Model C transforms the relationship between people, life and imagination into an abstract but memorable visual structure. The metal box becomes a medium of record and resonance rather than a thematic package.
