From the perspective of user demand, constructing the complete process on flattening design of food packaging. Through the combination of the concept of flattening and Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, this paper puts forward the five-dimensional food packaging design, which includes the flat design factor and flat design model, and constructs a complete food packaging flattening design process. Taking the design of gum packaging as the typical case, verify the feasibility of food packaging design with flattening design theory.
