Unique Properties: Miok is a milk beer brand that started in Hangzhou, China, in 2021. It explores the fun of mixing milk and beer, which creates this new combination of sweet and sour milk with tasty beer bubbles. It has abundant probiotics, but low alcohol. As a new kind of beverage brand, Miok wants to be adventurous, creative, and joyful.
Dimensions & Packaging: 375mL per can
Tags: Mixing, Milk Beer, Packaging, Can, Miok
Production Technology: The concept of Miok's brand identity is "Mixing". Around the floating Miok letters, two liquid shapes are mixing into a new shape. The visual means to be bold, dynamic, and joyful to represent the beverage’s unique characteristics. The logo is the main visual element on product packaging, to make this new brand eye-catching and memorable in the market.

Consumers can buy Miok both online and in-store, so the packaging system included gift boxes, shipping box and portable boxes for different usages. The campaign design also included online store design and offline activity design.
Design Challenge: One problem is how to print the vibrant colors on the can as bright as possible. We took a lot of time to communicate with the can factory to make sure the printing is perfect.
Research: The research includes the market and target user research, and competitors' products analyzing. The research result combined both marketing strategy and visual design direction. The goal is to create a design concept that is unique, recognizable and representing the product's spirit.
Inspiration: The packaging design is inspired by the product's creative spirit. As an innovative beverage, Miok is mixing two very different liquids, milk and beer. Therefor the brand and packaging design took the concept of "Mixing" and expressed in a visual language.
Project Duration: The project started in May 2021 in Hang Zhou, China, and finished in March 2022
Operation Flow: The project was created from the branding strategy stage, to visual design and product's production. The original flavor of Miok was selling very well on the market, and we created the new lemon flavor Miok later.
