More About Bedtime Story Boutique Chocolate Packaging

This is a packaging design for a gourmet chocolate series. The graphics on the outer box suggest the distinct taste experience of each chocolate flavor: be it shiny, lively, or mysterious and peculiar. Unlike most chocolate packaging, which uses intuitive food patterns as visual elements to represent the product's flavor, this series conveys the rich associations and emotional shifts brought by taste through peculiar graphics with a sense of story.

Design Details

Unique Properties
This is a packaging design for a gourmet chocolate series. The graphics on the outer box suggest the distinct taste experience of each chocolate flavor—be it shiny, lively, or mysterious and peculiar. Unlike most chocolate packaging, which uses intuitive food patterns as visual elements to represent the product's flavor, this series conveys the rich associations and emotional shifts brought by taste through peculiar graphics with a sense of story.
Inspiration
Inspired by bedtime stories from childhood, each story is imaginative, just like every piece of chocolate has its own unique flavor, each piece of chocolate tells a story. Tasting chocolate is like being slowly led into a mysterious realm, where taste memories are awakened and imagination unfolds.
Realization and Technology
The packaging of this series uses special paper with a metallic texture, printing large areas of black patterns, creating a strong visual contrast.
Project Duration and Location
The project started in Beijing in April 2022 and concluded in May 2022. It was launched in the Chinese market in January 2023.
