The daily red envelopes, wedding invitations and greeting cards are also mostly red. On the one hand, the red paper wine gift packing boxes seem festive, on the other hand, it is more eye-catching. Red is also the color of love, so the gift box packed in red for Chinese New Year also means bringing good luck and happiness to those we love.

2. Yellow represents nobility in China

Since ancient times, yellow has represented the central imperial power and the country's state, with the symbolic significance of holiness, nobility, loftiness and solemnity. The yellow package for paper wine gift boxes also represents nobility and glory.

3. Yellow and red are more popular with consumers

Liquor is commonly seen in banquets, business receptions, friends' parties and as gifts. According to a survey on the color preference of liquor gifts for consumers, 60% of respondents chose red packaging, 8% chose yellow packaging, and the rest 32% thought both are good.

4. Influenced by traditional culture

Chinese people are used to choosing red to express the national spirit and features. Red represents passion, diligence, energy and love, while yellow traditionally represents nobility. For example, the word "Descendants of the Yan and Yellow Emperors" means that Chinese people like this color when it comes to blood lineage.
