The Design

About Surplus Year After Year Embalaje

Es un diseño de embalaje para licor chino Baijiu. Actualmente, el embalaje excesivo de productos de Baijiu representa un desperdicio grave y causa contaminación ambiental. Por lo tanto, el diseño de la caja y la bandeja interior utilizan materias primas degradables de protección ambiental y bajo costo. El patrón de flujo de agua azul está pintado con pincel de caligrafía tradicional china. Dos peces dorados juegan corriente arriba entre las ondulaciones de agua verticales grabadas. Es una combinación perfecta de cultura tradicional y diseño artístico.

Production Technology: The box design uses low-cost environmental protection degradable raw materials. The bottle is made of White Porcelain. The shape of the wooden bottle cap comes from the traditional paper fan, which is decorated with small metal fish. Recycled pulp is used as raw material for outer box packaging and the inner tray, and one-step molding process is used, and the bottle's relief shape juts out from the cover. traditional water pattern is used on the surface with three small fish bulging on both sides, which echoes the design of the bottle body.

The box was tied with straw rope, and a metal fish hung on the front straw rope. The inner tray also uses recycled pulp, traditional water pattern is used on the surface with three small fish bulging on both sides, which echoes the design of the bottle body. The design breaks the traditional Baijiu packaging impression, which has the industry innovation, and tries to create high-end product image with low cost environmental protection materials.
Design Challenge: How to use low-cost, not that delicate materials to present the packaging gracefully, and it can reduce the later production process and labor costs, this is the biggest problem we have overcome.
Inspiration: The Chinese pronunciation of "surplus"and "fish" both called "Yu", "Surplus year after year" is a good wish in Chinese traditional culture. It means to wish every year's harvest can have surplus, which stands for a rich family and a happy life. The fan cap is also a form of expression of Chinese painting and calligraphy art.
