III. Design Details

(I) Material Selection

External material

Choose 300-400g white cardboard or kraft cardboard. White cardboard can present bright and beautiful color printing effects, which is suitable for creating a lively style; kraft cardboard has a more natural texture, which is suitable for simple and environmentally friendly themes. The surface can be coated, such as glossy film to enhance glossiness or matte film to increase texture, and at the same time play a waterproof and wear-resistant role.

Internal material

Use environmentally friendly EVA sponge or pearl cotton as the inner tray, which is soft and elastic and can effectively protect toys from collision damage. The inner tray can be brightly colored, such as light blue, light pink, tender yellow, etc., which echo the external packaging and create a warm and cheerful atmosphere.

(II) Design Style

Cartoon style

Element application: Select popular cartoon images, animation characters, or original cute cartoon patterns, such as superheroes, Disney princesses, cute animals, etc. Vivid image drawings, exaggerated expressions, and movements can attract children's attention.

Color matching: Mainly use high-saturation colors, such as red, yellow, blue, green, and other basic colors, to form a sharp contrast and highlight the lively and cheerful atmosphere. For example, the combination of red and yellow reflects enthusiasm and vitality, and the combination of blue and green creates a fresh and natural feeling.

Puzzle Exploration Style

Element application: Use scientific elements, mathematical symbols, puzzle patterns, maps, etc., combined with simple line drawings or illustrations to show the theme of exploration and learning. For example, solar system patterns, geometric pattern splicing, etc.

Color matching: Use calm tones such as blue, green, and purple as the main colors, with a small amount of bright auxiliary colors, such as yellow stars and orange arrows, which not only reflect the rigor of scientific exploration but also have a sense of liveliness, stimulating children's curiosity.

(III) Structural Layout

Box design

The flip-top box is used, which is simple to open and has a sense of ritual, similar to the action of opening a book, which can make children full of expectations when opening the gift box. The ratio of the box lid to the box body can be adjusted according to the size of the toy and the display requirements, generally 4:6 or 5:5. Some structures that are easy for children to grasp and open can be designed on the edge of the box lid or the side of the box body, such as handles, grooves, etc. For larger gift boxes, you can also consider adding anti-slip pads to the bottom of the box body to prevent sliding when placed.

Internal layout

According to the shape, size, and number of toys, the internal space is reasonably divided. Use an EVA sponge or pearl cotton to cut grooves of different shapes to fix the toys firmly and avoid shaking and collision during transportation. In the blank space around the toys, some small accessories, instructions, stickers, etc. related to the toys can be placed. For example, for jigsaw puzzles, a card with instructions for the puzzle steps can be placed in the box; for model toys, a small parts storage bag can be provided. A small pocket or envelope can also be designed to hold some small surprise gifts, such as badges, small bookmarks, etc.

(IV) Brand Logo and Copywriting

Brand Logo

Place the brand logo in a prominent position on the front of the gift box, such as in the center of the lid or the upper left corner. The logo design should be simple, easy to identify, and in line with the overall design style. Hot stamping, hot silver, UV printing, and other processes can be used to highlight the logo effect and enhance the brand memory point. For some brands that focus on environmental protection, environmental protection logo elements can be added next to the logo.

Copywriting design

In addition to the brand name, some interesting copywriting that attracts children can be added to the outside of the gift box, such as "Start a wonderful adventure" and "Explore unlimited possibilities.". Inside the box, the introduction copy of the toy should be concise and clear, and describe the gameplay, characteristics, and benefits of the toy in vivid and easy-to-understand language, such as "This puzzle can exercise your observation and hands-on ability." The copywriting font should be round and cute, suitable for children to read. The cartoon style can use handwriting or cartoon fonts, and the educational style can use simple sans-serif fonts and deform them appropriately.

IV. Production Process

Printing process

Use advanced four-color printing technology to ensure the vividness of colors and the clarity of patterns. For some special effects, such as local UV (highlighting the eyes, sequins of clothing, etc. of cartoon characters), hot stamping (used for brand logos, decorative lines, etc.), embossing (creating a three-dimensional sense or texture effect of cartoon characters), it is necessary to cooperate with professional post-press processing manufacturers to ensure the quality of the process.

Packaging and assembly

During the assembly process, strictly control the fit between the inner tray and the box body to ensure that the inner tray is stable and does not shake. Small accessories and small gifts, must be properly fixed to prevent them from scattering during transportation. The connection between the box lid and the box body, such as glue sticking and folding, must be reinforced to ensure the durability of the gift box.
