About The Treasure of Zbojniks Etichetta per bottiglia
Il Tesoro degli Zbojnik è un progetto di etichetta per i distillati di frutta Zbojnicka. In slovacco, "Zbojnicka" significa "appartenente a uno Zbojnik". Gli Zbojnik erano briganti che presero parte alle rivolte contro la servitù della gleba e si credeva che nascondessero tesori tra le montagne slovacche. L'etichetta presenta i distillati come il tesoro degli Zbojnik. Nella parte superiore è raffigurato il monte Velky Rozsutec, mentre ornamenti tradizionali slovacchi provenienti da diverse regioni fanno da cornice al progetto. Le illustrazioni in stile incisione sono stampate in due colori su carta color crema opaca dalla texture morbida. Il nome del prodotto è realizzato con impressione a rilievo in oro.

Each element of the label has its significance and tells unique stories from Slovak folklore.

- Production Technology
- The label is printed on a glass bottle. Matte creme paper with a soft texture was chosen in order to evoke the feel of a natural and home-made product. The engraving-stylized illustrations create an impression of being transported into the past. The combination of Slovak ornaments from different regions enhances the image of a truly local, traditional product. The label is created in two colors, with only the name of the product, “Zbojnicka”, differing in terms of its colour and the printing technique. For it, gold embossing is used, which further associates the product with the treasures of Zbojniks.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge was to create a unique and pronounced character and mood for the brand, to make the product distinguishable from its competitors, to attract attention to the product and facilitate a dialogue between the brand and the consumers, and at the same time to preserve and convey Slovak culture and traditions.
- Inspiration
- People believed that Zbojniks have hidden their treasures on Velky Rozsutec mountain (this mountain is depicted at the top of the label). Traditionally, it is assumed that Zbojniks were hiding the gold stolen from the feudal lords in the mountains. But what else could be valuable for the mighty robbers? A good drink, of course, which is often valued more than any gold. The folk stories of Zbojniks - Slovak robbers - thus became the main source of inspiration for the label design.
- Project Duration
- The project was launched on 1.4.2020 on the Slovak off-trade market (hypermarkets, supermarkets, wines & spirits shops, etc.).
- Operation Flow
- The work is displayed on the off-trade market (hypermarkets, supermarkets, wines & spirits shops, etc.). Due to its unique design and the story behind it, it manages to establish a dialogue between the the brand and the consumers, and at the same time, preserve and convey Slovak culture and traditions.
