About Ucon Mineraalwaterbottel

Ucon is 'n bottelontwerp vir natuurlike mineraalwater. Die boonste deel van die bottel gebruik klip as die vernaamste visuele simbool, terwyl die onderste deel 'n gefasetteerde ertsvorm gebruik wat op 'n parametriese driehoekige oppervlak gebaseer is. Die twee dele skep kontras en bly tog harmonieus as 'n geheel. Die gesnyde rande word glad gehou om 'n gemaklike greep te bied. Die etiket word met watergebaseerde ink gedruk om vrystellings van die drukproses te verminder, en 'n pêrelagtige film toon teksture van swart rots, wit kolle en goue strepe. Die bottel meet 64 by 64 by 220 millimeter.
