When Paper Bags Reach the Next Level

When packaging bags reach a new creative level thanks to netizens, even the official brand couldn't help but say: Teach me, teach me, teach me!

Coffee packaging bags

As the group of netizens who enjoy collecting various paper bags for DIY projects have grown up, their DIY capabilities have not only reached an "explosive" level but have also provided excellent ideas for various brands' marketing strategies. As the "creative expert" in the coffee world, Luckin naturally didn't miss such an opportunity! Observant customers may have noticed that Luckin Coffee initially provided standard paper bags... Early themed collaborations only focused on cup sleeves. However, netizens were already busy then, starting to draw and write on the packaging bags... From all sorts of imaginative graffiti to calligraphy practice... Ordinary paper bags immediately transformed into highly personalized artistic "collectibles" and began trending on social platforms.

Luckin also discovered that netizens' DIY capabilities were incredibly strong and could inspire others to imitate. Therefore, for every subsequent collaboration and limited seasonal edition, Luckin began designing paper bags with great care, aiming to give paper bags a second life (and promotional value).

Creative paper bag transformations

The netizens certainly didn't disappoint! Some cut the bags to wrap books, others cut out patterns to decorate phone cases, and some transformed the original paper bags into tissue boxes by trimming them according to the patterns... However! This was just the beginner level! Later, netizens advanced to creating wallets and bookshelves...

The Viral Marketing Effect

Luckin coffee bag transformations have attracted the attention and participation of over 2 million netizens. Consumers' secondary creations not only significantly improve the recycling of materials but also give young consumers a sense of participation. It also allows the brand to achieve five rounds of promotional effects "unintentionally." (What are the five rounds?) Brand promotion - consumers spontaneously purchase - collect and transform and share their "homework" - other consumers also "copy the homework" - attract more consumers who originally didn't pay much attention to the brand to make purchases, followed by a new round of viral transmission~
