Picglaze Sample Book

Picglaze prints photos, but finishes them with something out of the ordinary. They print on versatile and different materials, with the rigidity of the formats as a main element.

As such a sculpture with different colors and thicknesses. A product sample book that becomes a piece itself.

LIFEWTR Series 1

Cloudy Tea

Combined with the packaging of traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting scroll, the design involves the inspiration of scroll into the tea tube and tea bag, which has different features from other designs. The advantages of this design is that people will have a sense of ritual when they opened the package. After opening the knot, it unfolds a picture of Chinese landscape painting which is composed of the roots of a tree, leaves of tea and flower of tea. It can not be seen before opening, thus the packaging only has concise patterns which only includes teapot, words and seal.

Pepsi Prestige

Kirin Natural Mineral Water

This is a bottled water product sold only on an e-commerce site.Thirty bottles which have 6 different types of design are assorted in a box. We made the water itself the protagonist of the design. One side of the bottle has the small product title only,so that the patterns of the back are seen through the “refraction of water”. The patterns look differently according to the angle.Such effect increases the presence of natural water itself and the water looks more delicious through the bottle.

Double Cross

The packaging for Mr. Pip's Double Cross was designed to showcase the unique and iconic form of this new and wildly fun tabletop game. With a game made to be displayed as modern decor, molded packaging was developed from environmentally friendly paper pulp, to showcase the game's design. This also allows the packaging to be stacked with multiple units tessellating, dramatically conserve shelf and shipping space. Rubber bands were selected to remove the need for glue, which also allows the product to be accessed without damage to the packaging.
