Five moon cakes, stacked in a row and wrapped in edible paper, were the most common Soviet-style moon cake packaging a few years ago, with almost nothing extra, which was simply a model of economy. Now, fold ten moon cakes, ask the poet to fill in poems on edible paper, draw some sketches of willow leaves, and put on a thin plexiglass coat, which will immediately look exquisite. Ordering a mooncake package called "Looking at the Moon" online immediately attracted attention. "Other moon cakes haven't been touched much, but this moon cake has been ordered a lot." The person in charge of Kyle Boluo Mooncake Factory said that this is a new product this year, and the design inspiration comes from the original mooncake packaging.

"When you go out to visit relatives, you should dress up, let alone give gifts." This is a humorous remark made by an interviewee in a recent moon cake survey. Nowadays, the saying that "moon cakes are gifts first" has been accepted by many people. How to properly package and attract attention naturally becomes the focus of this year's moon cake market. After visiting supermarkets, shops and cake shops in Hangzhou, I found that the moon cakes on the table were obviously "slimming", a little less fancy and a little more elegant. Most of the mooncakes are packed in cartons and transparent edible bags, which can clearly show the taste and freshness of mooncakes. The packaging of bamboo baskets, wooden cases and rattan baskets, which were very fashionable and eye-catching last year, has now quietly left.
