Changed the method of pouring milk to the cap type. It has been improved to be fresher, cleaner and easier to pour.
Design Challenge: The challenge was to create a design that consumers could intuitively understand as chilled milk. In pursuit of a simpler and higher quality milk package, the team aimed to maintain the conventional package style. A prominent design feature is the bold display of the protein content, "4.7g," which intuitively communicates the high quality ingredients to consumers, even at a glance on the store shelf. Moreover, the silhouette of a cow, rendered in luxurious gold, adds a touch of elegance and represents the excellent rearing environment. This is further embellished with patterns of plants and flowers to signify natural quality.
Research: Analysis of luxury supermarkets where products are sold. Competitive analysis in internet sales. Analysis of consumer in the market. Packaging design analysis of the Japanese market.
Inspiration: Inspired by the tradition and high quality of purple, a color traditionally associated with nobility in Japan and China, the design evokes an intuitive sense of elegance in Asians. The deep purple accentuates the richness of the milk, while a bold white ribbon symbolizes its essence. A crown at the top, formed from drops of rich milk, represents supremacy and the high quality of the Japanese brand. The combination of purple, white, and gold ensures a memorable design that stands out significantly.
