About Gui Jiu Shi Jia Alcoholic Beverage Packaging
Gui Jiu Shi Jia is a packaging design for a Chinese baijiu spirit. The bottle is square at the front, while the view from above combines square and round forms. The shape refers to a cultural idea that joins firm principles with flexible thinking. The label carries a batik welcoming bird pattern from Guizhou, a traditional sign of hospitality. The bottle is finished by spraying, baking and brushing, and the neck sleeve is covered with leather. The box uses special paper, fiber board, silver foil and metal signage. A four-code system supports protection against counterfeiting.

- Research
- It satisfies people's pursuit of more refined and high-end life, and at the same our brand “Guijiu Shijia” pursues excellence in inheriting ethnic cultures and exhibits sensible and vivid features of Guizhou. We, through invisible ways, define the philosophy of “Gui”. "Gui", literally meaning “expensive”, “dear” or “aristocratic”, highlights the introverted, quiet, gentle and honest beauty of "Chinese Gui culture" from the inside out. Consumer recognition of the product's packaging, quality and branding, as well as our continuous polishing of the product, has provided it with sustainable development.
- Inspiration
- The Tao Te Ching says: the highest good is like water, for water benefits the ten thousand things without striving. It settles in places that people avoid and so is like the Tao. Under its inspiration, the front of the bottle is shaped square, but from the perspective of the top, squareness and roundness are harmoniously applied with each other. Squareness is the principle of life, or to be firm on the rules; roundness refers to the wisdom of life or to be flexible on issues. In a word, squareness and roundness is like the universe, heaven and earth or life, containing profound philosophy and mystery. A perfect product can only be created if you understand and know the law of all things.
