Design Details

Unique Properties
Hankol means a person who drinks boldly and happily, which reflects the people-oriented spirit of our brand.The design concept originates from "blind taste". Using positive and negative figures, the design skillfully integrates the founder's silhouette into the negative shape, and tells the spiritual essence of not forgetting the original intention. Chinese calligraphy and seal are used in the typeface to present the oriental cultural charm of sauce-flavour liquor.
Inspiration
The design concept originates from "blind taste". While the innovative use of environmentally friendly and degradable materials on the packaging eliminates the redundant packaging of the integrated molding design, it is also convenient for the protection of products in the transportation process. The front of the packaging is inlaid with metal logo sculpture, combined with the packaging surface texture, creating a high-end sauce-flavour liquor fashion.
Research
Study the expression of the product itself, and then look for the possibility of glass modeling and collision with other materials
Challenge
The product packaging uses environmentally friendly and degradable materials. The difficulty lies in the combination of the face metal and the glass bottle body in the production packaging.
Realization and Technology
The outer packaging box uses environmentally friendly EPP materials
Operation and Interaction
The product packaging uses environmentally friendly and degradable materials. The difficulty lies in the combination of the face metal and the glass bottle body in the production packaging.
Project Duration and Location
Hankol liquor started in Shenzhen in early 2020, completed in Shenzhen in June 2020, and will be released in January 2021.
Specifications
Outer box size 115mmx100mmx230mm
