About Love Hanshui Water Packaging

Traditional Chinese ink painting joins the animals with local wetland scenery. The white bottle label is produced with a heat shrink process and spot colour printing. Each bottle is 60 millimetres wide and 220 millimetres high. A code on the label opens a three-dimensional view.
