The vivo 2025 CNY Gift Box is inspired by the Chinese Zodiac Culture. The Year 2025 marks the Year of the Snake according to the Chinese Zodiac, the snake symbolizes intelligence and opportunities, and the gourd ("hú lu", which sounds like "fú lù") echoes happiness and prosperity in Chinese culture. These elements all together constitute an auspicious and energetic visual theme, aiming to convey the best wishes for the new year through a modern interpretation of traditional Chinese culture. This packaging design accentuates the visual aesthetics while evoking emotional resonance with traditional festivals among users.
In terms of structure, this gift box applies a four-layer progressive design, with every layer carrying a unique meaning and aesthetic. The first layer subtly combines vivo brand blue and festive red, highlighting the brand feature and creating a cheerful festival ambiance. The second layer focuses on the theme of the Year of the Snake, using refined lines to outline the agile posture of the snake. The third layer features a round and smooth gourd adorned with golden brand auxiliary icons to reinforce the brand identity. The fourth layer employs the detailed brushwork of Chinese Gongbi painting to finely render vines and flowers, harmonizing beautifully with the graceful and sinuous form of the snake.
In addition, this gift box adopts a modular design, making it reusable as a storage box. It is made of biodegradable paper and plant-based fiberboards, contributing to sustainable development. It also utilizes advanced technologies such as foil stamping, embossing, and UV printing to enhance the packaging texture and artistry.
