About Zhang Gong Lao Jiu 1975 Baijiu Packaging
Zhang Gong Lao Jiu 1975 is packaging designed for a Chinese liquor. The overall form takes inspiration from the century-old locust trees that grow on the distillery grounds. The outer box is made of eco-friendly pulp, and the bark texture is formed by embossing instead of ink printing. The bottle is fired with Chinese white glaze, and kiln transformation creates natural patterns in some areas. The bottle surface recalls the worn texture of old fermentation pits. The package measures 125 by 125 by 290 millimeters.

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- It carries forward four millennia of traditional brewing techniques, supported by unique resources including century-old fermentation pits and maturation vats. The distillery grounds feature a grove of hundred-year-old locust trees, whose blossoms are skillfully incorporated into the fermentation process through a distinctive "locust blossom in fermentation" technique. This imparts a unique aromatic profile and an exceptionally smooth, mellow character to the liquor. The exterior packaging incorporates the textured appearance of locust tree bark, while the bottle design echoes the weathered texture of ancient fermentation pits, presenting a rustic yet sophisticated aesthetic.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- 125mm*125mm*290mm
- Tags
- Natural, Unadorned Simplicity
- Production Technology
- The liquor box is crafted from eco-friendly pulp, showcasing the natural texture of locust tree bark through embossed patterning instead of ink printing. The bottle is fired with Chinese white glaze, revealing naturally formed kiln-transformed textures in localized areas.
- Design Challenge
- Through repeated field studies, the textures of locust trees, the patina of century-old fermentation pits, and the surface details of aged walls were meticulously examined. Multiple rounds of modeling and 3D prototype revisions ultimately yielded the desired representation of natural texture.
- Research
- Through on-site research, a detailed market report was compiled based on insights gathered from over 300 consumers and key distributors.
- Inspiration
- The packaging's overall form draws inspiration from century-old locust trees, translating the textured bark and marks of time into a visual language of design. By showcasing naturally accumulated textures, it interprets the slow maturation of aged liquor—each mark embodies the formation of flavor, each sedimentation contributes to the liquor's depth. This is the art of nature, crafted by time.
