“This exquisite packaging is exclusively crafted for the Hong Kong Maxim Mooncake 2022 version to commemorate the revered Mid-Autumn Festival. The gift box is designed to embody sophistication and luxury through its dark and golden color code, which radiates an aura of elegance.

“The logo on the gift box is inspired by traditional Chinese book covers, with a nostalgic appeal that creates an emotional connection with the consumer. The threads in the background represent the ‘linkage between people,’ symbolizing the essence of the Mid-Autumn Festival, where friends and families gather to celebrate under the resplendent moonlight.

“Opening the gift box is like stepping into a different realm, with the interior bursting with vivid and ebullient colors. The intricate illustration tells a legendary Chinese story of a couple’s reunion after a long period of separation, symbolizing the importance of cherishing and rekindling precious relationships. The story depicted on the gift box aims to revive the joyous memories of the past and inspire people to value their relationships.

“The small mooncake boxes inside are arranged in the style of an emperor’s menu from the Qing dynasty, radiating a sense of grandeur and elegance. The artful placement of the mooncakes reflects the meticulous attention to detail and the desire to create a luxurious experience for the consumers. Each mooncake box bears the flavors of the delectable mooncakes, written in elegant Chinese calligraphy.

It offers a unique experience that is both visually stunning and gastronomically delightful, leaving an unforgettable impression on the consumer.
