about this project

Spicy Moon opened in 2019 as America's first vegan Szechuanese restaurant; the Dan Dan Noodle Kit brings its signature dish from the kitchen to the table with sesame paste, sweet soy sauce, vegan chili oil, and sliced noodles in one box.

A vibrant packaging system designed to bring together Chinese-inspired visual cues, playful illustration, and bold typography into one memorable box experience.

The packaging was designed to feel young, energetic, and instantly recognizable while maintaining a strong connection to its Chinese inspired roots.

Every element works as one cohesive visual language: large, expressive lettering for immediate shelf impact; a pink, red, and warm neutral palette; the oversized noodle illustration as the hero visual; and Chinese-inspired characters, badges, and skyline graphics adding depth without overwhelming the composition.

Delivery included the full structural dieline with per-component nutrition panels, ready for print.
