Challenge
Seasonal gifting packaging usually gets thrown away. Orka wanted a suite worth keeping, rooted in regional ornament rather than imported festive cliché.
Approach
A geometric harlequin built from Arabic motif units, scaled differently per format so each piece feels drawn for its own surface.
Outcome
A gifting set that holds together as one moment of unboxing, from carrier bag to card.
Selected outputs
Preview Box, New Packaging V2
The production drawing for the new Orka box: a colourless emboss of the logotype and ornamental frame on front, side and top faces, so the pattern is felt before it is seen. V2 thickens the frame and tightens the top window, and the cocoa base band anchors the ivory shell.

- Preview box structure, dieline, print spec
- Embossed (colorless) logo + frame
- Palette
- Pantone 7518 C · 0601-11 TCX
