The Design

About Qinshihuang Cpa Envasado de cerveza

Qinshihuang CPA es un diseño de envase para una cerveza artesanal de la categoría China Pale Ale. La forma de la botella y su cuello emplean elementos característicos de la dinastía Qin, y su silueta evoca una copa de jade con motivos de nubes de los períodos Qin y Han. Una banderola alrededor del cuello de la botella señala el producto como pionero del estilo China Pale Ale. Un carácter central en escritura de sello, la tipografía unificada de la dinastía Qin, aporta un aspecto tradicional y clásico. El diseño se materializa en una botella de vidrio de 315 ml y una lata de aluminio de 550 ml.

Design Challenge
The challenge faced by us is that how to highlight the distinctiveness and superiority of the product through the packaging design. To achieve that, we integrate multiple elements of Qin Dynasty into a bottle of the modern style under the reinterpretation of Qinshihuang, thereby enabling users to experience the flavor and culture of China.
Research
IPA features top fermentation, highalcoholconcentration and strongsmellofhops, most of which adopts malt, hops and yeast from Britain as materials. Considering that, this CPA is brewed with basic materials full of Chinese characteristics, namely those Chinese crops widely planted in Qin Dynasty, so as to create a brand-new China Pale Ale style.
Inspiration
Ipa, namely India Pale Ale, is the most popular category of craft beer globally. Based on that, the design team conceived the concept of Cpa and designed this product, to provide craft beer lovers with a new option. As a pioneer in China Pale Ale, this craft beer is named after Qinshihuang, which aims to highlight its innovation in craft beer and to give a strong sense of cultural identity and confidence.
Project Duration
This product was designed and developed in February, 2020, in Beijing, and will be launched in January, 2023, in China.
Operation Flow
The bottle of Qinshihuang CPA shapes like jade goblet with cloud design in Qin and Han Dynasty, suggesting the product positioning and realizing a striking visual effect. Open the bottle cap to drink.
