DESIGN NAME: WHATER
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Packaging
INSPIRATION: Water Capsule adopts a minimalist design. The blue water drop label design on the bottle not only serves as a visual hammer, but also reflects its positioning of water retention thousand-time of similar products and its connotation of youth maintenance. The frosted texture of the capsule-shaped outer cover offers a better hand feeling, and makes it easy for consumers to grasp. The label in the center employs a transparent base and drop-shaped label, which accentuates the theme of the brand.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: WHATER is the first domestic hyaluronic acid drinkable water in China produced by Bloomage. The product formula is very simple, as it only contains purified water and hyaluronic acid, with no additives or antisepsis. Considering the recommended daily usage and the need for carrying, the design team selects the recyclable PP as the bottle material that endures the heat of up to 140°C. They apply innovative germ-free canning techniques to ensure users' clean and safe water intake.
CHALLENGE: The package design is the most challenging for the design team. The design for traditional mineral water bottles is already quite mature, so it's very difficult to make further innovation and optimization. Hence, the team shifts to designing in light of the shapes of capsules and lipsticks and makes the product as exquisite, convenient and safe as expected.
