Production Technology

The glass material will differentiate the wine from its competitive brands, who are normally packed in plastic. Bottled in glass, the gloss and texture is upgraded on the surface.

Design Challenge

Regarding the artwork, the original version is vague so we rearrange the layout and paint it all again, which is separated by the 12 bottles, representing 12 earthly branches hours. As for the technique to realize the drawings, 4 different kinds of crafts are tried out and we succeeded in heat transfer printing.

Research

To drink cool-down boiled water is an inherited habit from the ancient time. The new packaging design is bring the heritage to the modern life of Chinese along with a different perspective to appreciate traditional arts.

Inspiration

The inspiration is from the national treasury artwork of Riverside Scene from Tsingming made in Song dynasty over 1000 years ago. It is the only piece among the famous ten that illustrates the life of ordinary people' s life instead of that of the nobles. So the painting is echoing with the product of Liang Bai Kai so well that it is repainted and carved on the bottles.

Project Duration

The project lasts 5 months, designed in Shenzhen.

Operation Flow

How to save consumer's effort to look for an ideal product is the key challenge of this case. A distinctive symbol, 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 Liang Bai Kai needs to be presented to consumers in a contemporary aesthetic.
