Zhang Gong Lao Jiu
Zhang Gong Lao Jiu is a packaging design for an aged Chinese baijiu. The bottle is made of coarse terracotta with embossed details, and the form recalls the accidental deformations of pottery shaped on a spinning wheel. The rough surface gives the bottle a strong tactile quality. The cap is made of plastic with a simulated wood grain finish and meets strict sealing standards. The outer box combines natural cork oak with metal, adding thermal insulation and shock absorption for safe transport. The design is centered on touch.
Zhang Gong Lao Jiu Packaging by Wen Liu was identified as a creative illustration of communication design by the A' Design Awards. Zhang Gong Lao Jiu Packaging won the Silver A' Design Award in Packaging Design in 2026. The A' Packaging Design Award is an international, meritocratic, just and fair design competition which rewards exceptional design of bottles, boxes, cans, pouches, tubes, cartons, wrappers, bags and more.
