About Guo Cui Wu Du Chinese Baijiu

This white spirit product, named Guocui Wudu, is from Henan Province, China. The liquor is made from five traditional Chinese medicinal materials that are soaked and brewed. On the market, competitive products more or less contain some dregs left during the brewing process. By contrast, the biggest selling point of this product is that through multiple processes, the purity of the liquor approximates a zero-impurity state, which gives consumers a stronger sense of security. Therefore, designers determined "cleanliness" as the keynote of package design to manifest the biggest feature.

Design Details

Unique Properties
This white spirit product, named Guocui Wudu, is from Henan Province, China. The liquor is made from five traditional Chinese medicinal materials that are soaked and brewed. On the market, competitive products more or less contain some dregs left during the brewing process. By contrast, the biggest selling point of this product is that through multiple processes, the purity of the liquor approximates to a zero-impurity state, which gives consumers a stronger sense of security.
Inspiration
Ancient oriental philosophy and aesthetics.And some Chinese martial arts novels have brought us inspiration.Designer will find that the final appearance confirms what designer said.
Research
Designer find that Chinese Baijiu is criticized for its design, which is very rustic and backward. At the same time, traditional Chinese medicine also suffered the same treatment, so when designer were asked to do packaging design for such a Baijiu with both factors, designer hoped to break people's inherent cognition of these two factors and let people enjoy a different Oriental beauty.
Challenge
The most difficult point is that designer hope to keep the simplicity and transparency of the bottle as much as possible. Finally, designer creatively put the product name and other information on the bottle cap.
Realization and Technology
To give the feeling of cleanliness, a blue transparent glass bottle is designed as the container; and the label printed with the product name is separately displayed by being hanged on the bottle cap.
Operation and Interaction
First create a good concept, then draw the drawings, select the best scheme, and then design and make. After the design scheme is established, it is proofing. The proofing link has gone through three times, and finally runs in to produce high-quality products.
Project Duration and Location
The project started in June 2018 in ShenZhen and finished in August 2020 in ShenZhen.
