Newspapers become packaging for beverage bottles

[Chinese Packaging Network News] The paper media industry in the world is facing the challenge of marginalization. The newspaper industry in Japan once again made some minor and good-faith changes, so that more young people pay attention to the habit of reading newspapers. Note that this is not a one-time charity event. Around one idea, they have derived different implementation plans. In approximately 2014, the Japanese daily news found that fewer and fewer young people buy newspapers every day, but more and more young people buy bottled mineral water every day. So they decided to turn newspapers into drink bottles. The packaging, so that there is more than one channel for young people to read newspapers, but they also deliberately reduced the pricing of bottled water in the implementation of the activities, so that every consumer can afford, originally about 6 yuan The mineral water that can be bought by the renminbi now only costs three bucks. An unexpected result, using newspapers for packaging, not only did the design not only reduce the forcing, but also the recognition on the shelf is quite high.

In order to ensure the readability and update of news, Japan Daily News launched a total of 31 packages in one month, and also printed a QR code on the bottle. Consumers can scan the QR code on the mobile phone. To read the latest news, not so much, it is to save the media, and to say nothing, is to awaken the consciousness of young people concerned about the news of the political affairs. In the final month, each retail supermarket sold an average of 3,000 bottles of NewsBottle mineral water. Inspired by this idea, Japan Daily News recently used this form to launch a donation bottle. They divided the charity program into several different themes, including the Philippines Typhoon Disaster Relief Fund, the Cambodian AIDS Treatment Fund, the Fuji Mountain Environmental Protection Fund, and the Japan Earthquake Disaster Recovery Fund.
Consumers can choose the items they are interested in, buy mineral water in specific packages, and their profits will be donated to the corresponding charities. In order to support fundraising, in addition to restaurants and supermarket sales, the fundraising of bottled water was also designated as official water use in some government activities.
The QR code is attached to the package. Young people can read the latest news on the mobile phone by scanning the QR code on the mobile phone. It can be said that the daily news has saved both the traditional paper newspaper and the user to the mobile terminal. Wonderful!
By the way, this mineral water packaging design came from Japanese designer Yoshinaka Ono! Its use of daily news as a mineral water packaging design not only highlights the value of the product, but also highlights the news value of the product.
