While not altering the packaging material, it successfully creates a soft, inviting visual experience, so adorable that you can&#8217;t help but want to buy a can and hold it in your hands.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Besides using sweater packaging to evoke a sense of &#8220;warmth&#8221; in consumers, the designer cleverly uses synesthesia to subtly convey the taste of the beverage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This product series includes multiple flavors: lemon orange, peach, Calpis (a lactic acid bacteria beverage)&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In designing the packaging, the designer precisely captured the distinct characteristics of each flavor. The contrasting blue sweater highlights the vibrant and refreshing citrus flavor; the gentle sweetness of the pink sweater amplifies the sweetness of the peach flavor; and the clean and crisp white sweater amplifies the refreshing characteristics of the Calpis flavor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Therefore, this &#8220;sweater&#8221; packaging not only empowers the product with its &#8220;high-value&#8221; appearance but also serves as an &#8220;upgraded medium&#8221; for conveying product information.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Similar examples have actually been seen in China before. Remember the &#8220;Fair Isle&#8221; pattern that went viral last winter? That&#8217;s right, the one popularized by Luckin Coffee&#8217;s Fair Isle Latte!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This style originated from sweaters on the Isle of Faire in northern Scotland, featuring a high-saturation red and blue color scheme. Classic patterns include snowflakes, flowers, crosses, reindeer, and pine trees.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Luckin Coffee drew inspiration from this and applied it to its cups, perfectly conveying the warmth of a winter drink and perfectly capturing the Christmas spirit, making it a huge success last winter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">We&#8217;ve said more than once that packaging is not just a container for goods, but also a natural billboard closest to consumers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Brands that leverage this effectively can create emotional value, strengthen brand awareness, and continuously connect with consumers through frequent updates of seasonal limited-edition products.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Suntory is one of the masters in this field.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">For example, in 2016, Suntory&#8217;s French carbonated fruit juice brand Orangina launched a limited-edition summer juice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">To evoke the relaxed atmosphere of a &#8220;summer vacation,&#8221; the team designed a limited-edition summer packaging, sculpting the bottle in a bikini shape.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">To make it realistic, details such as wrinkles and buttons on the packaging were meticulously designed. This packaging strongly evokes the feeling of &#8220;enjoying fresh oranges on the beach.&#8221; The brand specifically chose Japan&#8217;s Ocean Day to launch this limited edition, using the packaging for a creative marketing campaign.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">However, what impressed the author even more was Suntory&#8217;s launch of a natural water bottle with a cat-shaped cap on &#8220;Cat Day&#8221; in 2019, which went viral on social media thanks to its adorable design.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Subsequently, Suntory created eight different creative bottle cap designs for various drinking scenarios, including pillbox caps, eyeglass frame caps, piggy bank caps, phone holder caps, spray bottle caps, stress-relieving elastic cat paw caps, and a &#8220;cat whistle&#8221; cap that makes a meowing sound when squeezed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">These designs are not only aesthetically pleasing but also add more practical value to the water bottles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">When bottles are no longer destined-to-be-discarded trash, but rather &#8220;little objects&#8221; worth handling and even collecting, the added value of products and consumers&#8217; willingness to buy can be greatly enhanced.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Suntory&#8217;s approach of blurring the lines between &#8220;product packaging&#8221; and &#8220;brand merchandise&#8221; is worth learning from.<\/p>\n<p class=\"caps\"><span style='font-size:18px !important'>Media Contact<\/span><br \/><strong>Company Name:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/companyname\/momeiprint.com_170125.html\">Shaanxi Momei Printing Technology Co., Ltd.<\/a><br \/><strong>Email:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/email_contact_us.php?pr=suntory-has-given-its-drinks-a-sweater-look-its-got-that-wintery-vibe-all-set\">Send Email<\/a><br \/><strong>Country:<\/strong> China<br \/><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.momeiprint.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.momeiprint.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/press_stat.php?pr=suntory-has-given-its-drinks-a-sweater-look-its-got-that-wintery-vibe-all-set\" alt=\"\" width=\"1px\" height=\"1px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dressing aluminum canned beverages in sweaters.
