Unboxing experience
A honey gift box with a surprise, Arctic Raw
Especially when designing packages that will be sold online, the unboxing experience is something very important to keep in mind. Packaging design has a lot to offer for the unboxing experience. You can build your brand by focusing on every little detail to make the moment feel exactly the way it’s supposed to.
I got a pleasant task to design a gift box for Finnish quality honey, which also has great export potential. The project was especially intriguing, because i was given totally free hands to suggest a unique gift box solution.
I began building the concept based on the beautiful product, that will go in the box. The honeybees collect perhaps the world’s purest nectar during the short Finnish. We wanted to give a pretty flower to every honey gift receiver.
The silk-soft surface of the package already gives hints of the honey’s qualities. Not until you open the package is the secret revealed; the bottom part opens to all directions like a flower and the honey jar itself as the heart of it all. The snow white surface is a good contrast for the night black flower filled with glimmering gold nuggets all around it. amongst the gold rain there’s golden honeybees flying around.
The package tells even foreigners about our clean northern nature and the concept has gotten a lot of popularity outside of Finland too.
An unforgettable unboxing experience is an important thing for the brand.
