At the same time, the design concept has a relatively independent side, which is a purposeful and preplanned behavior. Not only according to the personality of keepsakes, but also according to the needs of consumers and the competition between products in the keepsake shopping market. Under the premise of conforming to these comprehensive factors, the designer’s subjectivity is brought into play, and creative keepsake boxes are purposefully designed to attract consumers and generate purchase behavior.
In addition, in terms of packaging, conception is a creative thinking activity that emphasizes imagination and association. Among the optional design elements, grasp the overall image of the keepsake box, so that the inner temperament of the keepsake can be vividly reflected through artistic means. Of course, the thinking scope of modern packaging design is also restricted by various objective conditions, but the factors that affect the “creativeness” of design are not only from the influence of these objective conditions, but more from the old-fashioned design concepts, habits and The rigidity of design thinking, etc., has resulted in a form of relying on others, Zhang Guan Li Dai, etc., which has formed a situation of lack of creativity over time.
So, how to find the theme in the design concept? How to realize the novelty of keepsake box design? It is the topic that needs to be studied by keepsake box designers and must be seriously considered.

1.Take the name and logo of the keepsake as the starting point: start the idea with the name and logo of the keepsake as the main design image.

2.Take the origin of the keepsake as the starting point: refer to the original scenery, folk customs, and ethnic patterns with local characteristics. It not only reflects the characteristics of the keepsakes in different places, but also the best point to attract consumers.

3.Take the association and the story or legend of the origin of the keepsake as the starting point: association is the basic form of conception, which can be used to associate the characteristics of the other, and each keepsake has its own specific essential content, such as some keepsakes themselves. Contains a beautiful legend.

4.The use of colors related to this keepsake (such as regional environment colors, national costume colors), etc., can also meet people's requirements for certain ideals and wishes. The implication includes metaphorical and symbolic meanings, and this technique is used for some tourist keepsakes that are not easy to express directly. It is worth noting that the expression form chosen for the implication should adopt the image graphics that are familiar or recognized by the public in connotation. For example, "turtle, pine and crane" in traditional auspicious patterns means "longevity", "you fish" symbolizes "more than enough", and red means good luck, happiness and so on.

5.Take the unique natural image of the keepsake origin (such as city flowers, city trees, ancient building images) as the starting point; use the natural image of the keepsake origin that consumers like to start the idea.

For example, the beauty and meticulousness of women, the fashion and romance of young people, the nostalgia or nature of middle-aged and elderly people, etc.

7.Take serialized packaging as the starting point: This method is mainly aimed at the use of graphics, text, color, arrangement and materials in the design of keepsake boxes when large enterprises have many series products. It is necessary to consider the overall sense of all keepsake box packaging, but also to reflect the diversity of products and the individuality of products.

No matter which aspect of the product to expand the design concept, how innovative the concept, how to reflect the personality, we must pay attention to the overall sense of the keepsake box design, adjust the elements used in the design purposefully, so that the packaging is prominent. Under the premise of the theme of keepsakes, it can be clear and orderly.
keepsake box design is not only a process of exploration and thinking, but also a process of problem solving, and a unique way of thinking is very important. During this period, whether it is to use a diffused way of thinking, to use multi-angle new visual imagination, to break the inherent design concepts and patterns, to create packaging that conforms to the aesthetic awareness of modern living conditions, or to use the reverse thinking method to develop new keepsake boxes. Mode, adapt to the changing consumer demand for keepsakes, or use the conception method of borrowing thinking, using ancient and modern Chinese and foreign classic graphic content as the theme of packaging decoration design, these thinking methods all reflect a certain “creativity”. Therefore, the “creativeness” in the conception tries to search for the different “points” of the design in the plain, and organizes these “points” in a new way, so that the unique “creativeness” can be packaged to help the keepsake box in the strong hand like Lin.
