About Xiaofengtan Liquor Packaging
Xiaofengtan is packaging for a high-end Chinese liquor. The bottle shape is derived from the ceramic jars traditionally used in China to store liquor, reshaped in a simple form suited to modern taste. The rounded body fits the palm of the hand, which makes the bottle easy to hold and helps prevent slipping. The golden cap has vertical corrugated lines and opens easily. Golden dots form a texture on both the bottle and the compact cube box, which measures 130 by 130 by 135 millimeters. The box is made of degradable paper, and the reduced size lowers material use.

- Tags
- Reshape ceramic liquor jar, orange color, compact cube packaging, innovative appearance, resource-saving design.
- Production Technology
- By optimizing the bottle body and packaging, its size has been greatly reduced. Furthermore, the compact cube packaging is made of degradable paper which reduces consumables and costs, and implements the concept of sustainable development. In addition, its personalized proportion is innovative among the posh yet lackluster traditional liquor packaging.
- Design Challenge
- Being influenced by traditional ideology, the packaging of liquor is monotonous and homogeneous. How to break from this ideology is the challenge confronted by Xiaofengtan before it was designed. Inspired by ceramic liquor jars, it is groundbreaking because of its innovative packaging. The Chinese liquor culture contained in it has drawn attention of the society to traditional culture, thus inheriting and then carrying forward Chinese liquor culture.
- Project Duration
- Developed in Chengdu, China in February 2020 and unveiled in Guizhou, China in August 2020.
- Operation Flow
- The rounded bottle body is designed in line with ergonomics and can perfectly fit the shape of the palm of users , which is convenient for pickup and also prevents slip. The golden cap with vertical corrugated lines opens easily.
- Research
- Liquor, for the Chinese, more than the taste, also means a kind of inheritance of the liquor culture of China. According to the study, liquor consumers commonly pursue high-end, personalized and quality liquor, while the traditional liquor cannot fully cater for their aesthetics and tastes. The brand-new packaging design of Xiaofengtan aims to blend traditional Chinese liquor culture on this base, which has showcased its confidence in Chinese culture.
- Inspiration
- Its body is derived from ceramic liquor jars commonly used for liquor storage by the Chinese, and has been reshaped in a simplistic style to make it different from spherical jars and more in line with the aesthetics of modern people. The name, Xiaofengtan, originates from Fengtan, a unique traditional Chinese liquor storage technology. What is contained in the jar is liquor, but what is carried on is the culture. It also symbolizes the indispensable sense of ceremony in Chinese wine culture.
