About Wuliang Image Primêre Funksie: Drankverpakking

Wuliang Image is 'n drankverpakkingsontwerp wat vir 'n Chinese Baijiu-handelsmerk geskep is. Die bottelvorm is geïnspireer deur die Maanbottel van die Ming-dinastie, en die ronde lyf suggereer die volmaan en die idee van hereniging. Geboë lyne en watergolfstrepe omsluit die bottel soos sy. Die glaslyf is sandgestraal en dra 'n reliëf-rooigoud-logo, terwyl die bottelbo 'n mat metaal-elektroplateerproses gebruik. Die boks is gemaak van gematteerde goud-akriel met reliëfmetaal en warmstempeling. Die deurskynende grondtekstuur ondersteun 'n stabiele en gemaklike greep.
