Though lesser known, the Chinese New Year Tray of Togetherness (攢盒) is a decorated box filled with treats that is as an essential a part of the celebration as firecrackers and red lanterns. The traditional Chinese candy box is made up of 3 to 9 compartments that are filled with candies, dried fruits, nuts, and other treats symbolic luck, happiness, and good fortune wished upon family and friends for the upcoming New Year.
To celebrate the new year, our engineers have created a traditional Tray of Togetherness decorated with milled "Fu" stamps and topped with 3D printed Mandarin Oranges to symbolize wealth and prosperity in the coming year.
