DESIGN STRATEGY
The package design and structure of the product were created based on the concepts of “sustainable” and “eco-friendly.” One crucial element of the design was to display information about the 36 colors of the pencils. Using recycled material such as craft paper was not an appropriate solution as the material lacks reasonable quality and price, furthermore, as it hinders visibility of the colors. The paper folding technique emphasizes durability of the structure as each fold tightly holds a pencil, and maximizes the use of a piece of paper.
