About Ucon Botol Air Mineral

Ucon adalah desain botol untuk air mineral alami. Bagian atas botol menjadikan batu sebagai simbol visual utama, sementara bagian bawahnya menggunakan bentuk bijih bersegi yang didasarkan pada permukaan segitiga parametrik. Kedua bagian tersebut menciptakan kontras namun tetap harmonis sebagai satu kesatuan. Tepian potongannya dibuat halus agar nyaman digenggam. Labelnya dicetak dengan tinta berbasis air untuk mengurangi emisi dari proses pencetakan, dan lapisan film pearlized menampilkan tekstur batuan hitam, titik putih, serta garis emas. Botol ini berukuran 64 x 64 x 220 milimeter.
