PACKAGE DESIGN
We designed pencil packaging that folds into a pencil sharpener, adding fun to life with fortune messages related to studying. You can throw the dice game for fortune.
(Background) We think most pencil brands don't have sharpeners in the package, but wooden pencils and pencil sharpener are couple. It would be better, If we have a pencil sharpener in the package. So, we added a sharpener into the packaging to make it more convenient and give users a fun, memorable experience.
(Design) Our design is based on the idea that learning shouldn't stop at studying. We use symbols like "A" and "F" grades, which can be the other things, offering a fresh perspective that life at school is more than just grades. Even with low scores, you can still smile. Even with an "F," you can still be awesome. And even when math is hard, you can still enjoy bubble tea every day! This simple, creative design uses minimal words and impactful graphics to make our brand look modern and environmentally conscious.
(Package for Sustainability) We embrace sustainability with the idea that one thing shouldn't serve only one, aligning with our concept that learning shouldn't stop at studying. Our packaging is designed for long-term use, encouraging reuse by turning it into a sharpener, reducing waste from buying separate sharpeners, and using recyclable craft paper to help protect the environment.
