About Shuang Gou Sheng Fang Alcoholic Beverage Packaging
Shuang Gou Sheng Fang is a packaging design for a Chinese liquor. The package holds two separate bottles. The small upper bottle contains liquor of 68 percent alcohol by volume, and the large lower bottle contains liquor of medium strength. Each bottle can be enjoyed alone, or the two liquors can be blended freely to create different tastes. Two covers made of ABS and PE are plated in rose gold and joined by a lock, which prevents leakage and makes opening easier. The box and the bottles are decorated with gem shapes inspired by the roofs of historic distilleries.

- During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, distilleries were arranged densely and neatly in Shuanggou Town. When you looked at those massive roofs with a bird's eye view, they were like rhombus gems inlaid on the ground. Shuanggou liquor was also used used as a royal tribute to officials at that time. This is where the idea for the packaging came from, and the design incorporates elements of the gems and the sages' feathered fans to recreate the glory of the past.
