While designing and selecting packaging for luxury products, it’s important to visualize the entire consumer experience – from holding the package to opening it.

Like holiday gifts, luxury packaging should begin to be opened. This requires a structure that is not just impressive, but also creates an experience and tells a story at the same time.
