- Production Technology
- As average beverage bottle packaging may be sticky, or specially printed and packed identity, SPARKEAU sought to avoid bottle adhering to labels or the appearance of glue residue in the outer packaging, therefore, by using environmentally friendly shrink film for commercial labeling. The design of the shrink film was for ease of recycling of the glass bottles, as well as considering the material of the paper box designed for easily opened to access content, as well as convenient transportation.
- Design Challenge
- From design, to find a single drink package contains both plastic cover, heat-shrinkable film, and glass, choose and balance between the different material, contains visual rendering have experienced countless discussion and revision, in order to be able to accurately from the appearance design is sparkling water itself is clean, simple sense and as a life-supporting product positioning and image of an existence, at the same time of regard for environmental protection consciousness, promote to consumers directly
- Research
- The unique craftsmanship behind the external bottle which uses universal design- Ergonomics, the bottle is designed in a curved shape. Both the opening and the bottom of the bottle are designed as round shape, which is smaller at the beginning and transforms into curved lines at the one third of the bottle. This allows it to be easy to take and grab. Its curved shape has created a beautiful proportion of bottle figure just like an elegant lady. The minimalist design of circular geometry makes SPARKEAU even more stylish.
- Inspiration
- The design for portable beverages has been mostly in the form of round-shape, therefore they all shared a common shape, and in order to create product differentiations. The unique craftsmanship behind the external bottle and the water itself allows the consistent bubbling taste, even after the bottle was opened for consecutive 8 hours, sparking water made just for you.
- Project Duration
- The project is completed in April, 2019, in Taiwan.
- Operation Flow
- With the idea of establishing Taiwan own sparkling water brand, the taste and visual appearance are tailored to Taiwan tastes. Geometric design of glass bottles instead of disposable plastic bottles, so that the quality is not frivolous, while taking into environmental protection. The thermally shrinkable film outside the bottle is elegantly designed to give a clean impression consistent with the contents. The overall product design texture is pure, just like water to people's life, is an important but useless existence.
