Research on Tea Packaging Design and Cultural Communication Mechanism from a Sustainable Perspective

Abstract

Tea packaging plays a crucial role in cultural heritage and sustainable development, but current practices face challenges such as insufficient material sustainability, difficulties integrating traditional crafts with modern technologies, and a lack of cultural symbolism. This study constructs a theoretical framework centered on a circular material system, process-technology integration, and collaborative innovation between materials, processes, and culture. It also proposes strategies such as collaborative development, the construction of an interdisciplinary collaborative platform, and policy- and industry-driven incentive mechanisms. Validated through case studies, this framework not only enhances the ecological sustainability of tea packaging but also effectively strengthens cultural narratives and consumer identification. The findings provide systematic theoretical support and practical approaches for the design of cultural and creative tea packaging and are valuable references for the integration of green design and cultural innovation.
