About Huidao Condiment

Huidao is a packaging design for a range of seasoning sauces and stewed soup bases used by professional chefs. Each series contains dozens of flavors, which makes selection difficult. Simple illustrations and clear flavor names are printed on every pack, so the correct product can be identified quickly. A rotating screw cap replaces the former single use opening, which allows the contents to be closed, stored and used again. The bag is made of PLA polymer material and stands upright, and each pack measures 140 by 220 millimeters.

Unique Properties: When chefs choose other brands of products, because of the many flavors, it increases the difficulty of choosing. And other brands of products are mostly disposable, if the product can not be used up can not be well preserved. Designers use the most concise illustrations and names to distinguish the taste of different products, which facilitates the use of the kitchen. At the same time, the added cover can protect the storage of products.

Production Technology: The chef in use will cause product waste, so the designer added a rotatable screw cover on the packaging to extend the shelf life of the product. At the same time, the packaging bag is made of PLA polymer material.
Design Challenge: The two series of Huidao sauce are mainly used by catering chefs. Customers need to solve two problems: 1 - there are dozens of products in each series, so it is difficult for chefs to distinguish and use them. 2 - the previous packaging is disposable and must be used up at one time after being disassembled.
Project Duration: The project was done within 2 months. The design is finished in Jinan, production in Jinan City, Shandong Province.
Operation Flow: When choosing seasonings with different flavors, chefs can intuitively select the desired seasoning on the desktop through intuitive illustration and product name. There is a rotatable cover on the top of the package, which increases the shelf life of the product. At the same time, the bottom of the package is self-supporting, which makes it more intuitive for the chef to use.
Research: Designers have found that chefs need to use dozens of different sauces when seasoning food. How to make the packaging simple and easy to distinguish different tastes? At the same time, it is necessary to solve the problem that the product can be used many times without causing the sauce taste deterioration. Therefore, designers use the most concise illustration vision and eye-catching taste name to distinguish tastes, and add a rotating cover to ensure the product quality and continue to use.
Inspiration: There are so many products in the two series of stewed soup and sauce that it is difficult for chefs to distinguish tastes when using them. At the same time, the original product design is one-time and cannot be preserved for a long time after opening. Designers need to help customers sort out products systematically and solve the problem of easy storage, so as to manage and use them by category.
