West Ungaran, Semarang – Behind each beautiful box adorned with ocean blue and colorful coral, the Antoaquarium & Art small-medium enterprise (SME), pioneered by Mas Bagas, presents more than just aquarium decoration: they present the story and experience of a “small world” that soothes the soul before you even open the lid.
The Antoaquarium & Art box design emerges from ocean-themed watercolor strokes, with small fish seemingly dancing amidst gentle waves. The back of the packaging features a QR code inviting product owners to watch a short profile video, which chronicles Anto Aquarium & Art’s handmade creative process and eco-friendly values.
Since 1980, Antoaquarium & Art has produced a variety of handcrafted aquascape decorations, from Senja Cliffs to Minang Houses, giving each pair a unique value. The packaging materials used are also eco-friendly, reflecting the same commitment to environmental conservation in each of its products.
Anto’s packaging also includes aquascape maintenance tips for first-timers: regular cleaning every few weeks, checking for fish-safe materials, and aesthetic tricks for combining stone and wood for a more natural look. The two packaging sizes (15×15 cm and 20×15 cm) are designed compact enough to decorate a work desk or living room.
Through the Instagram account @anto.aquarium_ and the TikTok account anto.aquarium, Mas Bagas invites customers to share their aquascape stories and inspiration. By launching on Shopee, anyone outside of Semarang can enjoy this “small world” right at their doorstep.
With its story-packed packaging, Antoaquarium & Art demonstrates that the customer experience begins the moment the eye first explores the palette of waves and coral reefs within each fold of the box. Every customer is invited to adventure, care for, and appreciate the richness of the ocean, even if only from behind the aquarium glass.
