About The Treasure of Zbojniks Palackcímke

A Zbojnikok kincse a Zbojnicka gyümölcspárlatok címketerve. A Zbojnicka szlovákul azt jelenti, hogy egy Zbojnikhoz tartozó. A zbojnikok betyárok voltak, akik részt vettek a jobbágyság elleni felkelésekben, és az emberek úgy hitték, hogy kincseket rejtettek el a szlovák hegyekben. A címke a párlatokat a zbojnikok kincseként mutatja be. A tetején a Velky Rozsutec hegy látható, a tervet pedig különböző régiókból származó szlovák díszítőmotívumok keretezik. A metszet stílusú illusztrációk két színben, lágy textúrájú matt krémszínű papírra vannak nyomtatva. A terméknév arany dombornyomással készült.

Unique Properties
Zbojnicka, in Slovak, means belonging to a Zbojnik. Zbojniks were robbers, who participated in insurgencies against serfdom, in a way, they were the Slovak Robin Hoods of the Middle Ages. People believed that they have hidden numerous treasures in the Slovak mountains. Zbojnicka distillates are the true treasure of Zbojniks - this was the main idea in design creation. Each element of the label has its significance and tells unique stories from Slovak folklore.
Dimensions & Packaging
The dimensions of the bottle are 22cm x 10 cm x 6 cm (length x width x volume). The label size is 12 cm x 8 cm.

Production Technology
The label is printed on a glass bottle. Matte creme paper with a soft texture was chosen in order to evoke the feel of a natural and home-made product. The engraving-stylized illustrations create an impression of being transported into the past. The combination of Slovak ornaments from different regions enhances the image of a truly local, traditional product. The label is created in two colors, with only the name of the product, “Zbojnicka”, differing in terms of its colour and the printing technique. For it, gold embossing is used, which further associates the product with the treasures of Zbojniks.
Design Challenge
The challenge was to create a unique and pronounced character and mood for the brand, to make the product distinguishable from its competitors, to attract attention to the product and facilitate a dialogue between the brand and the consumers, and at the same time to preserve and convey Slovak culture and traditions.
Inspiration
People believed that Zbojniks have hidden their treasures on Velky Rozsutec mountain (this mountain is depicted at the top of the label). Traditionally, it is assumed that Zbojniks were hiding the gold stolen from the feudal lords in the mountains. But what else could be valuable for the mighty robbers? A good drink, of course, which is often valued more than any gold. The folk stories of Zbojniks - Slovak robbers - thus became the main source of inspiration for the label design.
Project Duration
The project was launched on 1.4.2020 on the Slovak off-trade market (hypermarkets, supermarkets, wines & spirits shops, etc.).
Operation Flow
The work is displayed on the off-trade market (hypermarkets, supermarkets, wines & spirits shops, etc.). Due to its unique design and the story behind it, it manages to establish a dialogue between the the brand and the consumers, and at the same time, preserve and convey Slovak culture and traditions.
