About East Travel Alcoholic Beverage Packaging
East Travel is a packaging design for baijiu, a traditional Chinese distilled spirit. The bottle uses a simple cylindrical glass form that is convenient for mass production. The cap is shaped after water ripples, a reference to the high quality water used in brewing. The label is made of special paper, and the illustration and the product name are bronzed. The outer packaging is made of pressed bagasse, the fibre left after the sugarcane is fermented, a material that degrades naturally. The design draws on Chinese folk culture and on traditional brewing methods.

- Research
- The current fast-paced lifestyle has gradually made people feel that the material is easy to satisfied but the inner spirit is very empty. How to find a slow-paced lifestyle in this environment is an urgent problem that needs to be solved at the moment. Baijiu is a thing that can slow down your life. The traditional baijiu culture and its brewing culture have a long history. It is the crystallization of human wisdom. It can make your life more quality and valuable.
- Inspiration
- Guangxi, one of the economically underdeveloped areas in China. In order to increase people's income, local residents mainly plant sugarcane, which has the largest output in the country. This new act for brewing not only increases the value of sugarcane, but also increases the income level of local people and makes their lives better. The external packaging is made of pressed bagasse after fermented baijiu, which is easy to degrade naturally, environmentally friendly and practical.
