The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday during which people gather at home to celebrate and enjoy mooncakes, a traditional festive delicacy. Thus, mooncakes have become a symbol of the Mid-Autumn Festival and an essential product for gift-giving during the holiday. The packaging design of the "Paying Respect to Ingenuity" mooncake gift box aims to convey two main messages. Firstly, through the design and textual layout, it expresses the dedication of Xi'an Fan Zhuang, a time-honored Chinese brand, to the spirit of traditional craftsmanship passed down through generations. Secondly, it highlights the commitment to crafting exquisite and delicious mooncakes with an attitude of respecting ingenuity, adding more ceremonial and spiritual significance to the gift box.



The "Paying Respect to Ingenuity" mooncake gift box features a simple square shape, with its internal space consisting of four drawers that open in different directions. These four drawers lean against each other inside the outer box, representing the flavors and ingredients sourced from all over the country, as well as mooncakes with regional tastes. Additionally, the design of the four drawers symbolizes accessibility and family unity across generations. The front of the gift box prominently features the image of the Changxin Palace Lantern. This Lantern is revered as the foremost lantern of China, known for its intricate design and advanced environmental consciousness that continues to astonish people. We honor the craftsmanship spirit of the Changxin Palace Lantern and emulate the ancient artisans' dedication to innovation within tradition. This spirit is embodied in mooncakes, a traditional festive delicacy that we continuously update and preserve through holiday gifts, thereby sharing this cultural heritage within society. The beige color tone is as gentle as moonlight, reminiscent of old paper that has slightly yellowed with time. These personalized and unique elements are precisely what consumers seek in a gift, allowing them to showcase their distinct taste and refined aesthetics while highlighting the recipient's esteemed position in the giver's heart.
