Enting-Enting Gepuk Cap "Klenteng & 2 Hoolo"

Snack label: Enting-enting Gepuk (a kind of traditinal snack made from nuts mixed with sugar). This label was silk-screened on a thin paper also used for packing. Klenteng means a Khong Hu Cu's holy-prayer site. Why this 'holy place' used for a snack label (probably) because the maker was a Chinese and so this originally snack from. Hoolo means Chinese traditional bottle. This one from Salatiga, Central java, Indonesia.

Various Label for Plastic Bags

In Indonesia, recently, people like to shopping with plastic bags. Especially in traditional market (pasar). Paper bag that issued for "green-healthy-earth movement" or eco-friendly habits are still most abandoned. Just because people did not know how important it is. Only a few change their habit (using paper bags). Here they are some of "various plastic bags label" use for shopping in everyday life. Of course with their "naive" approach (just "labelled it", no brief-design, no similarity with the products).

Sepeda Balap


















Teh "Sepeda Balap".
Sepeda Balap means bicycle race.
A naive and funny label for jasmine tea.
This one from Purbalingga, West Java, Indonesia.
What's the connection between a cup of jasmine tea with bicycle racing?
Is it a good idea that after we tired to cycling then we have a tea-ceremony?
Or it just silly?
A very questioned reason.
