Design Development
Firstly it is important to get the correct measurement for the cover until the genuine design is completed. To make sure the measurements are correct cartridge paper was used to make a template. This template was then put on top of the 3D model of the tin. 

Follow from the initial designs of the previous tea tin. By using the same design as the design boards that were submitted for the competition. When considering how to produce these designs for the tea tin designs. It was appropriate to use a matte stickers to stick the designs on the tin. This is due to colour scheme of the black tea, green tea and white tea are expected to be luxury designs for high-end and duty free stores. The colours and the authentic Chinese designs will be a good contrast against the grey plastic colour. The typeface used for the Chinese characters and letters are Kozuka Gothic Pr6N:

Sticker design

Sticker design on 3D model
Here is an example of the tin design sticker designs being placed on the tea tin 3D model. 

Example of the sticker design template. To cut the size
its best to use a craft knife and a metal ruler. Scissors
are for the more curve edges. 

Straight edges are done firstly then the curve sides.

Then cut all the template into sections this will allow
better precision to stick them all on the sides. 

Then stick the rest of the edges on the side of the lids.

 

Above are the completed sticker design on the lid of the tea tin design. 


Inside design of the tea tin design
The inside of the tin is made out of gold foil so it matches the gold text on the outside design of the tea tin. Below are images of the inside of the tea tin.  

The inside of the tin design will be lined with gold foil.
Firstly, it's appropriate to measure out the correct
size for the lining. These are the equipment used
to make these linings. 

To apply these lining to the inside of the
box - PVA glue stick is used.
