Compared with silver mirrors, copper-free mirrors are of a higher grade. After the Silver Mirror is plated with silver, a layer of copper will be plated to protect it to prevent the mirror from being damaged and easily scratched. The copper-free mirror is to replace the copper protective film with a passivation protective film, making the mirror more environmentally friendly and durable.

Newspapers become packaging for beverage bottles
[Chinese Packaging Network News] The global paper media industry is currently facing a growing challenge of marginalization. In Japan, the newspaper sector has once again introduced some small but meaningful initiatives to re-engage younger audiences in the habit of reading newspapers. These efforts are not one-off charity events, but rather part of a broader creative strategy with multiple execution plans developed around a central idea.
In 2014, the Japanese Daily News noticed that fewer young people were buying newspapers daily, while more were purchasing bottled mineral water. Taking this insight, they decided to turn newspapers into drink bottles. This innovative packaging allowed young people to access news through an entirely new channel, and to make it more accessible, they reduced the price of the bottled water. What used to cost about 6 yuan now only cost 3 yuan, making it affordable for everyone. Surprisingly, using newspapers as packaging not only made the design more appealing but also increased product recognition on the shelves.
To ensure continued news updates and readability, the Japanese Daily News launched 31 different packages within a single month. Each bottle included a QR code that consumers could scan with their mobile phones to read the latest news. This initiative not only helped save traditional media but also encouraged young people to become more aware of current political and social issues.
By the end of the campaign, each retail supermarket sold an average of 3,000 bottles of "NewsBottle" mineral water. Inspired by this success, the newspaper company later introduced a "Donation Bottle" concept. They created several themed charity projects, such as the Philippine Typhoon Relief Fund, the Cambodia AIDS Treatment Fund, the Fuji Mountain Environmental Protection Fund, and the Japan Earthquake Recovery Fund.
Consumers could choose which cause they wanted to support, buy the corresponding bottled water, and know that their purchase would directly contribute to the selected charity. To further promote the campaign, the bottled water was also used as official refreshments at various government events, expanding its reach beyond regular retail channels.
Thanks to the QR code on the packaging, young people could easily access the latest news on their smartphones, effectively bridging the gap between traditional print media and digital platforms. This clever approach not only revitalized the newspaper industry but also enhanced user engagement.
Interestingly, the unique packaging design was created by Japanese designer Yoshinaka Ono. By using the newspaper as the bottle's label, he not only highlighted the product’s value but also emphasized the importance and relevance of the news itself. It’s a brilliant example of how creativity can breathe new life into traditional media.
