About Japanese Sake Desain Kemasan

Ini adalah desain sake khusus yang dibuat untuk memperingati 180 tahun Pabrik Sake Hasegawa. Cita rasa dan keterampilan tradisional selama 180 tahun telah diwariskan dari generasi ke generasi, dan lingkaran pohon digunakan sebagai visual utama untuk mengekspresikan sejarah dan masa depan. Warna seluruh kotak luar terinspirasi oleh lukisan tinta untuk mengekspresikan tradisi dan kemewahan. Logo peringatan dicetak dengan emas agar sesuai dengan lambang keluarga tempat pembuatan bir tersebut. Botol di dalamnya bergambar hitam kontras. Bentuk botol yang kasar menunjukkan bobot tradisi dan teknologi.

Production Technology
The difficult part of this project was the printing of the outer box. We visited several printing companies, but they were all far from ideal quality. Luckily, we were introduced to an experienced company that specializes in box printing, and we were able to solve this problem.
Design Challenge
Because of the special design representing the brewery itself, it was essential to propose a concept that would be acceptable to the client. Therefore, we spent the most time on creating and proposing a concept for this project.
In the design, we focused on the layout as well as the printing in order to create a Japanese taste. The surface of the outer box is treated with a special scratch-resistant finish to give it a luxurious feel.
Research
Although the product is well-known in the region and has tradition and history, consumers are tired of the same design, and it was necessary to express newness in addition to tradition and luxury. Furthermore, and most importantly, the brewery itself needed to be expressed in the design.
Inspiration
In order to express the traditional taste and skills that have been handed down for 180 years, we used the "tree ring" as the main visual to express the history and future.
The overall color of the outer box was inspired by ink painting to express a sense of tradition and luxury. The commemorative logo was printed in gold to match the family crest of the brewery. The bottle inside is a contrasting black image. The roughness of the bottle expresses the weight of tradition and technology.
Project Duration
2022, project commissioned by Hasegawa Brewery Co.
