Industrial Design Since the era of Bauhaus, one of the most important results has been the combination of art and technology, designing “beauty” for the lives of the general public, that is, all the achievements of industrial design can be accepted and enjoyed by the general public. Therefore, researching the “vocabulary” of ideas that consumers can accept is one of the main tasks of the majority of our packaging designers. The so-called traditional style of packaging design creativity is to attract people with traditional cultural material with high cultural taste and high degree of aesthetic sense. After careful design, it is designed to convey product information to consumers and promote sales. The creative "vocabulary" of consumer services. The design of traditional packaging is not only the simple use of traditional forms, but more importantly, it reflects the broad spiritual outlook of the Chinese nation and the excellent culture of the self-supporting people in the nation.

In the form and structure of packaging, we can draw lessons from the traditional construction, transportation, furniture, daily necessities, entertainment products, stationery, sporting goods, religion, and other articles that have artistic value and appreciation value, and are more in line with the objects to be packaged or Packaged objects have more closely linked feature features. The design should pay attention to the beauty, uniqueness, exquisiteness, scientific structure and firmness of the structure.

Linkage, and the use of reasonable and appropriate, can be used as a way to reflect the traditional style.

Fourth, traditional style and present-day sense

The era in which we are today has entered the era of highly-developed microelectronics and high-capacity information technology. Many things and things that we thought were impossible in the past have become a reality in modern times, especially since China adopted a policy of reform and opening up to the outside world. Many advanced cultures and technologies in the world have been continuously introduced into China, and have gradually been used by China and China. The outstanding traditional cultures of the nation have been merged together and gradually formed the cultural status of the country in this new era. This is an inevitable result of history. The ideological consciousness for seeking new ideas and seeking beauty is shared by mankind, and it is thus possible to promote the continuous progress of society. Only in line with the pulse and rhythm of the times, innovation, traditional style packaging design will have infinite vitality and new artistic conception, in order to be accepted by contemporary people.
