About Beautiful Life 防虫剤パッケージ
「Beautiful Life（美好生活）」は、中国で販売される防虫剤のパッケージデザインである。防虫剤のパッケージは厳格な規制の対象であるため、市場に並ぶ製品の多くは似通った外観となっている。Beautiful Lifeでは、書道による題字、桃の花、そして中国古画から引用した人物像を用いた。開封窓は、伝統的に吉祥を象徴するコウモリの形をしている。ブリキ缶は8色印刷を施し、紙箱には型押しと金箔加工を採用している。ブリキ缶はにおいを密閉し、保管して繰り返し使用することができる。内蓋を隠して設ける構造により、子どもには開けにくい容器となっている。

- Unique Properties
- The design team create a vintage-like brand.

These elements present customers a picture of traditional Chinese culture and the good old wish of happiness. The team also design a split bags in addition for preservation purposes, and the one-more package will deliver a safer and cleaner user experience.

Carving on paper
Gilding over paper - Design Challenge
- The first challenge is tight regulation by government. The team have to put "Paradichlorobenzene" and low-toxic icon on the center front which is more identifiable than the brand. The team changed the font weight to emphasize the brand. The second challenge is from the client that they think the tin can package is like a candy box and kids may eat the pills mistakenly. The team design a hidden lid beneath the top lid, which is rarely impossible for kids to open but adult can open it easily.
- Research
- The quest is to upgrade the existing package. The old version is known for its low price and the competition in its existing market is fierce. After a cross-region survey the team figure out that most consumers are price-insensitive as the product is infrequently used, and it would volatilize easily. In view of this condition, the team decide to change the position of the product from a chemical pesticide into an beneficial ornament - the team assume customers would keep the tin can in their cabinet for a long time, and can be reused. The new package helps client expand the market.
- Inspiration
- Mothballs in China are classified into low-toxic chemical, which means the packaging needs to obey several restrictive terms announced by Agricultural Department. These restrictions lead to a market that almost every brand looks alike, thus the team's first mission is to make it looks different. after analyzing the competitors, the team find that brand recognition is the fatal factor for the mothball market. The team create a calligraphic logo, and the decorating elements are taken from ancient painting.
- Project Duration
- The project started in January 2019 in Beijing and finished in April 2019 in Beijing.
- Operation Flow
- The Chinese name of Beautiful Life is "香生记", which means a lively color brings forth fragrance. As the odor of mothball may not be accepted by all the people, the team work changed the package from plastic bags into tin cans to seal it. The team also asked its client to change the perfume into more traditional and natural ones.
