Hailuo is a packaging design created for an in-ear headphone. Instead of showing a product photograph, the packaging presents an image of a sliced nautilus shell with the headphone placed inside the spiral cavity.

Silver paper with black ink gives the package a low sparkle that suggests advanced technology.
