Packing taboos

Due to differences in living environment, cultural traditions, and historical encounters, people in all regions of the world have obvious differences in terms of likes and dislikes. What people in some places most welcome is probably the most objectionable thing to people in another place. Therefore, special attention must be paid to the differences in packaging taboos. First, the color taboo black generally contains sad, solemn meaning, most countries will make mourning clothes made of black, so be careful to use black. However, people of other colors are mixed. For example, red is used to symbolize joy and joy in many countries. In Europe and the United States, it expresses jealousy, tyrannical, demonic, and even red wine implied as the blood of Jesus. White generally symbolizes purity and light, but in some areas it is a symbol of poverty. In Morocco, people living in poverty are also required to wear flower clothes and never wear white clothes. In our country and some other Asian countries, yellow is the representative color of the royal family. It is a symbol of nobleness and totalitarianism. It is taboo in Egypt, Sudan, Afghanistan, and Ethiopia. In those countries, yellow is the representative of the funeral symbol. Dead people and so on.
Brazilians think brown is the greatest misfortune. Green is generally considered to be a representative of youth and life, but some countries are jealous of green. There are also people in many countries who hate Nazi Hitler and hate dark green. The blue color that symbolizes the vast sea and sky is not welcome in some countries. In Egypt, Belgium, Hungary, Iraq and other countries, blue is considered as a symbol of the devil. In our country, the symbol of noble and elegant purple is considered as the color of death in Turkey. Japan, Egypt, and some Latin American countries also use purple as a taboo to use. Second, flower taboo flowers are widely used in packaging patterns. However, people in different countries and regions have very different feelings about flowers, and must use floral patterns with care. The chrysanthemums that our people love very much are very unpopular in Italy, Argentina, Chile and other countries. Especially the yellow chrysanthemums are regarded as ghost flowers and demon flowers. Another example is the lotus flower, which is popular in China, India, Bangladesh and other countries. It is considered to be a “gentleman of flowers”, representing light, auspiciousness, purity, and the Japanese are most afraid of the lotus. The lily that symbolizes "a hundred years of cooperation" in our country is considered to be the flower of the dead in Britain, Canada and other countries. Others such as tulips, orchids, dianthus, roses, etc., are also different in different countries and regions. Third, animal taboos Animals and people's religious relations are very close, so when using animal graphics should be more careful. The first is pigs. In the eyes of Muslims, pigs are filthy and crouching animals. Therefore pigs are banned in countries and regions that believe in Islam. Affected by this, pig-like pandas in those countries and regions are also disgusted. Dog graphics are also taboo in Arab countries. The Belgians love their cats. It is said that on average, every four people own a cat, but people in Greece, Hungary, Russia and other countries are most afraid of cats, especially black cats. The beautiful peacock is a bird loved by people in many countries, but in France it is regarded as a bad bird and in the UK it is considered a kinky bird. There are other bogey cranes, bogey goats, bogey rabbits, bogey turtles, bogey bats, bogey crows and so on. Fourth, graphic taboos For geometric figures, people of all countries have great differences in their hobbies. Special attention should be paid to triangular, hexagonal, and U-shaped shapes. Triangles are generally used as prohibited signs in countries around the world and should be used with caution. In the Czech Republic, the Red Triangle is a sign of toxicity; in Turkey, the Green Triangle is a free sign, and these differences should be given special attention. The hexagon is a sign of the Israeli flag. Due to political reasons, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Syria, and other countries have banned the hexagon. The word was once a symbol of the Nazis. Therefore, people who have suffered from the Nazi aggression in history have suffered from this crisis. People in many countries in the world are jealous of this figure. V. The digital tabu number has also been given many meanings by people. Therefore, certain numbers have become taboos for people. Attention must be paid to the design of packaging graphics and the design of the quantity of packaged goods. 13th and Friday were considered taboo in many countries. In Japan, North Korea, and South Korea, because the pronunciation of “death” is similar to 4 and taboo to use, 9 means suffering and taboo use, 9+4=13, and 13 is also an unlucky number. In addition, Afghanistan banned 3,13,19,39, India bogey 1,3,7, Ghana bogey 11,13,17,71, Singapore bogey 4,6,7,13,37,69, Cambodia bogey Saturday, Pakistan bogey 420, Algeria against a single day and so on.
