The Workshop of Taiwan

In the 1980s, Taiwan used to be the kingdom of tools, but as the industry started to shift focus, this kingdom has slowly waned. Therefore, this series of hand tool packaging has been designed to move hand tools back into the spotlight. The concept of the packaging is to directly convey the correct method of using the tools. For example, the use of a hammer is to hit an object; the use of a wrench is to tighten or loosen bolts or nuts; and the use of pliers is to cut or twist wires. These typical actions are visualised in clear, detailed illustrations and complemented by indispensable technical achievements, including trains, ships or power poles. In addition, the form of these packages and how they enwrap each tool also hint at the way of using the specific tool inside. Thus, even people who do not know how to handle the tools may intuitively experience and become familiar with them. Furthermore, the sophisticated packaging includes a user manual and has been designed so that every single one of the tools fits in a specially designed compartment of the container.
