文字具有直接傳達的功能,在包裝設計的範疇裡,商品名是消費者與商品之間的最佳溝通橋樑,但是商品名除了講求易讀性、美觀性與傳達性之外,其文字本身具有的特質與文化內涵,更值得加以探討。因此,本研究特選定市面上常見之飲料包裝,以中國漢字造形為前提,蒐集大賣場與超級市場所販賣之飲料包裝為主,共分為九大類型、二十六種類別,共354個樣本,字體勾選總品相數506件,探討漢字造形運用於飲料包裝商品名設計之情況,將漢字造形的特色融入設計中,更可錦上添花倍增其文化價值。本研究方法採取量性數據之比對現象,配合質性內容之探討,進而佐證成果之可信度,本研究之主要成果可分為(一)量性數據顯現之運用現象;(二)運用現象與商品屬性關係之解讀;(三)漢字商品名字體造形之思考模式等。冀能將漢字造形適切的運用在飲料包裝商品名之設計上,發揮漢字的文化價值與精神內涵,使商品展現獨特的風格與美感,進而建立品牌印象,增進市場銷路。
