Chinese New Year is a major event in China, making it a perfect opportunity for brands to releases special packaging. This commemorative pack helped the brewery ring in the New Year in a fun and eye-catching way. The limited-edition Tsingtao bottles came in a commemorative pack designed by the creative agency [Halewood International](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whitley-neill-gin). The eye-catching pack drew inspiration from the streets of Beijing with a bold goat-shaped graphic. The modern design was meant to depart from the more traditional illustrations and typography often used to mark the Chinese New Year. The commemorative pack for Tsingtao beer not only helped the brand commemorate the year of the goat, but it also served to convey the company's forward-thinking attitude. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Limited-edition Packaging:** Brands can capitalize on holidays and events by releasing limited-edition packaging to garner attention and celebrate their company's brand messaging in a memorable way. - **Modern Design:** Traditional packaging can be transformed by incorporating modern, eye-catching designs to attract consumer attention and convey a brand's forward-thinking attitude. - **Cultural Celebrations:** Events with cultural significance, such as Chinese New Year, provide companies with a unique opportunity to creatively celebrate and connect with consumers around the world. ### Who This Affects Most - **Beverage:** Beverage companies can celebrate holidays and cultural events with limited-edition packaging designs that set their product apart from competitors and convey brand messaging. - **Advertising:** Advertising agencies can leverage cultural events as inspiration for eye-catching designs and create memorable packaging to help their clients stand out in the market. - **Creative:** Creative agencies can bring fresh perspectives to traditional holiday designs through innovative and modern packaging designs that appeal to consumers and help brands stay ahead of the curve. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Zodiac-Themed Lunar Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carlsberg-1.md) - [Cultural Holiday Bottle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hennessy-1.md) - [Dragon-Inspired Restaurant Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/restaurant-partnership.md) - [Steely New Year Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/johnnie-walkers-blue-label-lunar-new-year.md) - [Lunar Celebration Whiskey Labels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/johnnie-walker-2.md) - [Exquisite Cognac Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exclusive-lunar-new-year.md) - [Artistic New Year Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glenfiddich-lunar-new-year.md) - [Holiday-Themed Scotch Whiskeys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/royal-salute-1.md) - [Vibrant Zodiac-Inspired Tequila Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snake-edition.md)
