About Mingluye 酒类包装
明绿液是一款以绿豆为主要原料酿造的中国传统白酒的包装设计。瓶身造型灵感源自绿豆——绿豆同时也是一味中药材。瓶身上的白色竖条纹让人联想到豆芽的胚芽，寓意新生。瓶体压印有绿豆叶、茎与果实的纹样，瓶盖则呈现自然的泥土质感。外盒采用特种纸，配以烫金与压凹工艺。整体包装力求简约，以减少材料的使用。

- Production Technology
- The bottle cap adopts natural earth-textured plastic cap, the embossed texture of the bottle body adopts delicate and textured mung bean leaves, stems and fruit as the patterns. The main product name is in the form of a glue card, which is crystal clear and is the unique visual symbol of the product. The box material is special paper, the craft is bronzing and embossing.
- Design Challenge
- This product breaks through the traditional Chinese baijiu packaging form. In the Chinese market, many packaging is very old-fashion, and a bit over-packaged, too exaggerated, not suitable for the aesthetics of current young consumers and the development trend of environmental protection and recycling. So in the process of design, the packaging materials and processes can be simplified as much as possible, and the consumption should return to the quality of the product itself, rather than the gorgeous packaging, which causes a waste of resources. Let consumers and customers change their awareness of product packaging.
- Research
- In the era of high homogeneity of traditional Chinese baijiu, how to express and differentiate similar products with the visual language that is easy to understand by current consumers requires serious consideration. Designers collected big data using online questionnaire surveys and offline search methods. After analysis, it is found that consumers are not very familiar with Minglu-flavor baijiu, so how to express it in easy-to-understand visual language is very important.
- Inspiration
- The bottle shape is inspired by mung beans, the raw material for baijiu making. Mung beans are Chinese medicinal materials and have the effect of Heat-clearing and Detoxifying. The bionic design method is used for innovative evolution to highlight the beauty of the natural ecology of the bottle. The white vertical bars of the bottle are inspired by the germ of the mung beans, which symbolizes a new life.
- Project Duration
- The project began in Shenzhen, China in September 2019 and completed in Shenzhen, China in January 2020.
- Operation Flow
- During the design period, designers carefully observed and studied the mung bean, and found that the shape is full and the color is mainly green. The white vertical strip in the middle of the mung bean is its germ. Therefore, they want to present it in the most direct and understandable way.
