Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of packaging technology, specifically relating to a side-opening packaging box. Background Technology
[0002] To meet the R&D needs of cigarette products—namely, enhancing consumer sensory experience, increasing brand recognition, and creating new selling points—cigarette packaging research has developed a multimodal interactive cigarette packaging structure design technology by studying multimodal interaction methods among consumers at three different levels of needs: basic layer, composite layer, and intelligent layer. Therefore, to increase product competitiveness, cigarette packaging innovation should focus on this multimodal interactive design technology, providing consumers with a product experience that integrates visual, tactile, auditory, and emotional connections. Simultaneously, cigarette packaging pricing and cost control must also be considered.
[0003] This utility model is proposed for this purpose. Utility Model Content
