Dukang Mellow
Dukang Mellow is a bottle and packaging design for baijiu, a Chinese distilled liquor. The design is aimed at people who drink alone, and seeks to offer emotional comfort as well as refreshment. The bottle body is slender and streamlined, suggesting the path of a spinning planet. The rounded and weighted inverted base adds stability and reduces the risk of tipping, and is paired with a metal cap. The bottle is made with a high share of recycled glass, and the glass can be recycled again without limit. The outer packaging uses forest certified paper.
Dukang Mellow Liquor Packaging by Wei Li was selected as a creative illustration of communication design by the A' Design Awards. Dukang Mellow Liquor Packaging received the Bronze A' Design Award in Packaging Design in 2026. The A' Packaging Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design prize which celebrates exceptional design of bottles, boxes, cans, pouches, tubes, cartons, wrappers, bags and more.
