Design Challenge

The requirement and challenge was to create five different labels following a unifying graphic line with a box that contains them.
Two pieces of art where merged into each label with the five winemakers signatures and five different typographic games for each number. As result all the labels are highly expressive and boast a great personality to create a serie with a restless, changing, and impetuous graphic for wines made of rare strains from different valleys located in different parts of Chile and harvested in 2020.

Research

There has been a lot of visual research, both in artistic experimentation and in graphic exploration. Countless pieces of art were created, a considerable number of paintings that required the correct fusion to produce tension and movement in each wine label. Each pair of art had to offer the design the certainty that the information on the label would be kept in the same place. All the typographic number games had to be different in a distinguished and integrative way.

Inspiration

MontGras Handcrafted is the consequence of a constant search to create distinctive handmade products with a sense of origin, its a line of unique wines where five prestigious Chilean winemakers chose different valleys to create wines from uncommon, rare and different Chilean grape varieties to surprise consumers with innovative proposals.They are expressive, creative and is the winemakers answer to the passion for wine.

Project Duration

The MontGras Handcrafted packaging began in April and ended in October 2021. Afterwards, we started working on the container box of the five wines. These were worked on from October to January 2022. Both were printed in Santiago de Chile.

This packaging is currently sold in Chile and is to be sold in the most important markets in which MontGras is present focusing on Asia (China, Korea and Japan). Also, Brazil, the UK, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany, Mexico, and Paraguay.
