Gold Paint Treasure Chest:
Nippon Paint's Innovative Packaging Design

{ Project Overview }

Designing a premium packaging experience that transforms Nippon Gold Paint into a symbol of value, artistry, and aspiration.

Inspired by the enduring allure of gold, we designed and produced Nippon Paint Gold Paint display packaging for authorised dealers and resellers that feels like opening a treasure chest. The unboxing experience reveals not only a bottle of Nippon Gold Paint, but also a gold rock coated in the product, creating a sense of discovery and reinforcing the paint’s richness, prestige, and visual impact.

The pairing of gold and dark navy creates a striking contrast that captures attention, while the flowing gold paint graphic expresses fluidity and elegance. Inside the packaging, product information, usage scenarios, and calls to action are thoughtfully integrated to give users a clear understanding of the product while inspiring them to explore its creative potential.

Packaging that lacked surprise, storytelling, and emotional draw at the point of sale

{ Creative Challenge }

Packaging that lacked surprise, storytelling, and emotional draw at the point of sale
  1. 01

    The standard packaging did not reflect the prestige or unique allure of Nippon Gold Paint

  2. 02

    Without a memorable unboxing experience, the product risked blending in with regular paint offerings

  3. 03

    Key visual cues like fluidity and artistry were absent, undermining the paint’s premium quality

  4. 04

    The packaging structure offered little opportunity to engage users or inspire creativity

{ The Solution }

Crafted a treasure chest-style packaging that elevates brand storytelling and user experience

  1. Designed a point-of-sale display box that mimics opening a treasure chest, revealing a bottle of Nippon Gold Paint and a gold-painted rock—creating an element of surprise and delight.

  2. Leveraged a striking gold and dark navy contrast, visually capturing the “golden touch” and conveying paint fluidity and expressiveness.

  3. Incorporated a golden frame inside the box to evoke artwork and premium craft, aligning with the product’s luxurious appeal.

  4. Integrated product information, usage scenarios, and a call to action inside the packaging to inform and inspire user creativity while reinforcing brand identity.

{ Point of Sale Packaging }

Designing a point-of-sale packaging experience that turns Nippon Gold Paint into a striking treasure-like display of value, artistry, and conversion.

Inspired by the timeless allure of gold, we designed and produced a point-of-sale packaging display for Nippon Gold Paint that feels like opening a treasure chest. Created for authorised dealers and resellers, the packaging reveals a bottle of Nippon Gold Paint alongside a precious gold rock coated in the product, turning the unboxing into a memorable experience that communicates richness, discovery, and aspiration.

The combination of gold and dark navy creates a captivating contrast, while the pouring gold paint graphic expresses fluidity and elegance. A golden frame around the box further reinforces the idea of the product as a framed work of art, while product information, usage scenarios, and calls to action are integrated inside the packaging to inform users and convert curiosity into purchase at the point of sale.

Creativeans offer fair pricing and is hardworking. They are also able to adapt to different styles of work and give good perspective. We were able to launch a new Colour My World that was a great style from previous versions. My GM saw it today and gave praises on it. He said to introduce the agency behind this to him some day 🥳
