About Threegun Packaging Design

Since its establishment, Threegun has consistently used red, a color deeply rooted in Chinese tradition, as a core element of its visual identity. The red hue is considered one of the essential assets that must be retained within the brand's visual system. The systematic use of grid systems in packaging unifies the layout. As for the package background, designer have modernly integrated the character Three into the pattern design. This motif has become a key visual asset for Threegun, continuing to play a significant role in their subsequent visual design.

E2W Studio's Threegun Packaging Design represents a compelling achievement within contemporary brand identity and packaging architecture, demonstrating how disciplined chromatic restraint and systematic formal language can generate both immediate shelf impact and enduring brand coherence across a comprehensive product family. The design engages modernist packaging traditions emphasizing bold color blocking, confident typography, and geometric clarity while incorporating material and cultural references that ground the system in specific content and heritage contexts. The dominant vermilion red functions as primary brand signature, a chromatic decision that ensures visibility within competitive retail environments while conveying warmth, energy, and approachable accessibility, this hue choice balanced against crisp white typography and strategic introduction of neutral-toned subsidiary packages that provide visual relief and enhance information hierarchy. The compositional sophistication evident in the systematic variation of package formats, from tall portrait boxes to horizontal cartons to compact cubic forms, suggests thoughtful consideration of product line architecture and retail display dynamics, each format variation maintaining brand DNA through consistent application of color, typography, emblem placement, and graphic proportions. The circular brand mark appearing consistently across all packages functions as unifying anchor and authentication device, its abstract geometric character suggesting both traditional craft heritage and contemporary design sensibility. Typography demonstrates particular accomplishment, with bold sans-serif letterforms achieving maximum legibility and contemporary clarity while substantial logographic characters honor cultural lineage and communicate product origins, this bilingual approach expanding market accessibility while maintaining cultural authenticity. The integration of organic cotton botanical elements within the otherwise geometric and manufactured composition introduces significant conceptual dimension, this natural reference suggesting product content derived from cotton fiber while providing textural and formal counterpoint that humanizes the system and connects manufactured goods to agricultural origins and material authenticity. The lighting treatment and surface finish decisions contribute substantially to the design's premium positioning, soft diffused illumination and matte surface qualities conveying sophistication and quality while ensuring optimal legibility and color saturation, avoiding the visual noise sometimes introduced by glossy finishes and harsh specular reflections. The systematic approach to product differentiation, achieved through strategic typographic variation and selective color inversion between primary red and secondary cream packages, demonstrates sophisticated information architecture that allows consumers to navigate product variants while maintaining immediate brand recognition. The overall aesthetic suggests influences from both mid-century modernist design traditions emphasizing geometric clarity and reductive form vocabularies, and contemporary minimal packaging movements prioritizing sustainable materials, honest communication, and design restraint, positioning the brand within a lineage of thoughtful, human-centered design practice. One might observe how this packaging system balances seemingly contradictory objectives: commanding shelf presence through bold chromatic impact alongside approachable warmth, cultural specificity through logographic typography alongside international accessibility through geometric form language, manufactured precision alongside organic material references, and systematic brand architecture alongside individualized product expression, these tensions resolved through disciplined formal language and consistent application of core design principles that honor both heritage and contemporary context.

Unique Properties
As a Chinese underwear brand established in 1937, Threegun has various products. Consequently, the most challenging aspect of this project lies in distinguishing and unifying these products. Instead of utilizing patterns and icons, designer have opted for the use of Chinese characters. The selected font is Kaiti, which has a strong sense of humanism and aligns perfectly with Threegun's humanistic culture.

Production Technology
In terms of appearance, we have extracted the specifications and names of the products into Chinese characters as the core identification elements of the symbol. The condensed Chinese characters enable consumers to establish recognition of products and make it easier for them to remember the brand.
Design Challenge
It is difficult to see any direct relationship between design and cost in this project, but the sorting and classification system hidden behind the scenes is the key to reducing costs. THREEGUN has developed a wide range of products over 80 years of brand history, with many different specifications under each product line. The design system that clarifies these product lines and specifications is the key to significant cost savings behind the scenes.
Project Duration
The project was completed in 2024.
Operation Flow
More importantly, it helps the brand review systematically, enabling them to plan their product lines and strategic planning more effectively.
Research
In the Chinese market, especially in the underwear category, using Chinese characters as brand identity and functional identity is the first of its kind, especially when we have cleverly integrated them into a cohesive visual language, which is an area that other brands have yet to venture into.
Inspiration
As a time-honored brand in China, Threegun selected Chinese characters to convey warm and humanistic feelings. As a national brand, using Chinese characters is a better way to communicate with consumers and to form brand recognition.
