The Design

About Treasured Brew of the Cave Chinese Baijiu Packaging

Treasured Brew of the Cave is a packaging design for Chinese baijiu. The classic sack bottle shape is kept, with a rope wound around the neck, while the material is changed from porcelain to glass. The glass surface adds gloss and texture and sets the bottle apart from ceramic packaging used by other brands. A mountain is carved on the base in an ancient Chinese drawing style to express the concept of cave storage, a method long used by the Miao people. The bottle stays clean and transparent, with the number six embossed on it.

Unique Properties: Dongzang is a special storage method in Chinese baijiu. The distilled high-quality baijiu is stored in the Miao cave of Wenrun Supermarket for a long time before bottling. The sack bottle shape of JiuguiJiu has a strong impression in China. Our challenge here is to retain the important characteristics of sack bottles while conforming to contemporary aesthetics, surpassing consumer expectations.

Production Technology: The glass material will differentiate the wine from its competitive brands, who are normally packed in ceramics. Bottled in glass, the gloss and texture is upgraded on the surface. Drawn in ancient Chinese way, a mountain is carved on the bottom to elaborate visually the concept of cave storage. Chinese Miao Minority has been storing alcohol in that way for a long time. With two emphases highlighted, the bottle is left clean and transparent, with the number 6 embedded.
Design Challenge: With two emphases highlighted, the bottle is left clean and transparent, with the number 6 embedded.
Research: While it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it also makes it difficult for new changes. Today, the brand image of JiuGuiJiu needs to be presented to consumers in a contemporary aesthetic. The upgrade of the sack bottles is particularly important.
Inspiration: Treasured Brew of the Cave
Known widely, the previous designer now ages 97. His design has been a classic for the past 4 decades, causing a dilemma for brand owners to carry out anything new. We chose to keep the original shape of the bottle, whose neck is rounded with rope, yet material is changed from porcelain to glass. Drawn in ancient Chinese way, a mountain is carved on the bottom to elaborate visually the concept of cave storage. Chinese Miao Minority has been storing alcohol in that way for a long time.
Project Duration: The project was done within 3 months. The design is finished in Shenzhen, production in Xiangxi City, Hunan Province.
Operation Flow: How to save consumer's effort to look for an ideal product is the key challenge of this case. A distinctive symbol, a bright color, an explicit layout of info and a unitive serial system of package will help Wellmind to solve the problem, where consumers are able to recognize and pick up the products from far away.While it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it also makes it difficult for new changes. Today, the brand image of JiuGuiJiu needs to be presented to consumers in a contemporary aesthetic. The upgrade of the sack bottles is particularly important.
