Tiger Pan · CLIENT: Jiugui Liquor Co., Ltd
Treasured Brew of the Cave is a packaging design for Chinese baijiu. The classic sack bottle shape is kept, with a rope wound around the neck, while the material is changed from porcelain to glass. The glass surface adds gloss and texture and sets the bottle apart from ceramic packaging used by other brands. A mountain is carved on the base in an ancient Chinese drawing style to express the concept of cave storage, a method long used by the Miao people. The bottle stays clean and transparent, with the number six embossed on it.

Known widely, the previous designer now ages 97. His design has been a classic for the past 4 decades, causing a dilemma for brand owners to carry out anything new. We chose to keep the original shape of the bottle, whose neck is rounded with rope, yet material is changed from porcelain to glass. Drawn in ancient Chinese way, a mountain is carved on the bottom to elaborate visually the concept of cave storage. Chinese Miao Minority has been storing alcohol in that way for a long time. - Image Credits
