Design That Speaks: Exploring the Message Behind the Cup
Paper Cup Branding for Cultural Impact and Customer Connection
At LOR Graphic Design, we don’t just design packaging—we craft memorable brand experiences. Our latest paper cup design for a winter-themed cultural campaign showcases how visual storytelling and local expressions can spark engagement and build emotional connection, even on something as simple as a takeaway cup.
This project highlights our expertise in illustrative packaging design, combining playful Arabic phrases with charming winter visuals to create a product that’s as delightful to hold as it is to see.
