Satine Pro

Satine Pro is a packaging design for an ultrafiltration milk sold in China. The milk has a protein content of 6 grams per 100 millilitres.

Silver paper with black ink gives the package a low sparkle that suggests advanced technology. The draw-out box holds two layers, so the headphone and its wires are seen first and the accessories rest below.

Codices were handwritten books made before the invention of the printing press, in which the capital letters became works of art. The label is produced on paper with reliefs and stamping and is applied to a Bordeaux bottle. A sheet of sealed vegetal paper wraps the bottle and carries illustrations of the symbols of the winery. The paper is closed with sealing wax at the top, so the content is revealed only when the wrapper is opened.

A final reveal shows a repeating lit corridor. The cards are coated with a raised glossy tiling effect.
