One of the purposes of [wrapping products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innovative-packaging-solution) is to establish a ceremonious reveal for the consumer, and Auberge du Soleil packaging achieves this in a rather clever way. Instead of employing layers and layers of tissue and paper, this scrumptious solution by Evelio Mattos embodies the character of a quirky object in its own right.

John Turner rendered the three dimensional images of this amusing Jack-in-the-box branding concept, which demonstrates the incredible attention paid to the often under-explored item. Fan-folded cardboard rises around and above the four [truffles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ed-ruscha-x-andsons), presenting inch-wide cutouts over each piece of chocolate. Once the logo-printed lid has been removed from Auberge du Soleil packaging, the peckish unwrapper can squeeze down the [accordion casing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-project-ara) to expose the delicious treats within.
