Features: In the field of art and design, packaging design holds an important position due to its close connection with people's lives. With the development of modern production and international trade, packaging has gradually become a major pillar industry in product sales strategies, evolving into a comprehensive science. The intensification of competition has led manufacturers to focus on leveraging the brand information conveyed by packaging to establish brand status and expand sales results. Therefore, excellent packaging design must adhere to market principles. Packaging design must not only meet the functional needs of product packaging but also strive to create new media value in collaboration with the overall advertising strategy, using new materials, new forms, and non-textual means such as printing. With the mass production of goods and the polarization of production towards both large-scale and small-batch, packaging design has also shifted toward low-cost and high-added-value approaches, aiming to be concise, vibrant, and innovative to maximize product appeal. This requires designers to possess not only extensive professional knowledge but also a strong design awareness and innovative spirit. This is also the key emphasis in modern packaging design education.
