About 128 Bpm Ambalaža za džin
128 Bpm je dizajn ambalaže i etikete za bocu džina. Naziv se odnosi na muzički tempo od 128 otkucaja u minuti, ritam povezan s otkucajima sretnog srca. Koncept se zasniva na bluzu, muzičkom žanru koji je oblikovao mnoge kasnije stilove. Ptice predstavljaju putovanje muzike kroz historiju, a ujedno sakupljaju botaničke sastojke koji se koriste u džinu. Krila simboliziraju kreativnu slobodu. Prednja i zadnja etiketa štampane su na samoljepljivom pamučnom papiru s mat, baršunastom završnom obradom. Zlatna folija, lak, reljefni i udubljeni otisak upotpunjuju dizajn.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- Bpm (Beats per minute) is the tempo of a song.
For example, Hip hop ranges between 60 and 90 Bpm, while electronic music is between 120 and 140 Bpm.
There’s a magic number 128 Bpm because it aligns with the heartbeat of a happy heart. That is, if the person responsible for mixing may match the music to the 128 Bpm heart rate, they’ll achieve the perfect mix. - Dimensions & Packaging
- The front and back labels of 128 Bpm were printed on self adhesive Fasson Cotton White paper. Front label dimensions: 11.8 cm x 13.3 cm; back label: 66.3 cm x 66.6 cm. The Fasson Cotton White paper is matte white, uncoated, and wood free, made of 100% cotton. It features an exclusive velvety finish for a great tactile cotton feel. It is moisture-resistant and has fungicide treatments.

It was finished on a Digicon machine with mechanical embossing and debossing.

The collar was printed on Cuvee Collier paper in 6 colors using an HP machine, with semi gloss varnish and die cut finishing on a Digicon machine. - Design Challenge
- The challenge of this project was to create a concept for a Gin brand that, on one hand, aligned with 128 Bpm as a number in harmony with a happy heart, and on the other, embraced Blues as a musical genre. The color blue was used to paint the Blues blue. The wings in this project symbolize creative freedom, and the birds refer to the migration of music and the journey of Blues throughout history as it evolved to the present day. The birds in this packaging are also the collectors of the botanicals, which are the heart of gin.
- Research
- Looking at the family tree of music, one can see that Blues holds a foundational place in the history of music. Its evolution and influence can be seen in most musical styles of the 20th century. Jazz, rap, rock, rock and roll, and pop all have Blues in their DNA.
Research identified the guitar brands most favored by renowned artists for playing Blues. The guitar for this packaging was inspired by a D’ Angelico Deluxe guitar, a model that exists in blue. This brand has crafted guitars specifically for styles like Jazz and Blues. - Inspiration
- The inspiration for this project comes from songs rooted in Blues as a musical genre.
Songs like "How was it for you" by Snowy White, which features a guitar solo and minimal lyrics, have influenced the creation of this packaging.
For this project, a special Blues track was created at 128 Bpm called Gin Blues. - Project Duration
- 128 Bpm was launched in Chile on September 4, 2024.
- Operation Flow
- This packaging was created for an article on Contraseña Magazine and will be launched at Print Santiago 2024.
