Description:
The design of the package is inspired by the theme of air transport - a light blue background with an illustration depicting a taking off jet plane conveys the idea of movement, modernity and travel. At the top is a stylized aviation logo in a blue circle, next to the Armenian name, and at the bottom is a red and blue inscription AVIA TRANS and „AMERICAN BLEND“. The design is minimalistic yet striking, with a clear Western direction, and the red band around the package gives the impression of structure and integrity. The excise stamp remaining on top indicates that this is an imported product, possibly intended for the local Armenian market with an export orientation.
Value assessment:
– Collectible value: medium → higher. Due to the thematic (aviation) design and the rather rare name "Avia Trans", this pack is interesting for niche collectors interested in Soviet and post-Soviet transport-themed issues.
– Condition assessment: excellent, unopened, original cellophane with excise stamp.
– Historical data and popularity: This type of package was produced in Armenia during the transitional period, when local manufacturers tried to orient themselves towards an international image – the words „American Blend“, „Avia“, „Trans“ conveyed the symbolism of Westernness. This is a rare example of a limited production series, often associated with small factories or custom editions.
