Here is what I believe to yet another Chinese copy, a deliberate attempt to confuse people into buying their brand by imitating the design of another more famous one.
Saw this brand of Chinese juice in the supermarket. Almost bought it, thinking it was Sunraysia. There are dozens of other juice brands, which all look very different, but it is probably not coincidental how the design of the Chinese one is similar to Sunraysia’s.

Look at the thin colored bar with text on top of the label, or even the lighter gradient in the middle of the label, behind the main text, and of course, the fruits at the bottom. (Note the design of Sunraysia bottles might be different in different regions.)

If you don’t know Sunraysia, it’s a famous brand of high-quality juices.
