Model Overview

Based on the SDXL base model, this is the second version (v2) of the VintageChinaPack8090 series LoRA. It has been fully upgraded to completely remove all Chinese characters from training materials, focusing solely on pure visual style elements (color schemes, materials, patterns, layouts). This avoids garbled text issues caused by SDXL's limited Chinese recognition, specializing in accurately recreating the classic retro texture of Chinese domestic product packaging from the 1980s-1990s.

It prioritizes supporting Pinyin/English brand names and product names (e.g., "Mei Hua" brand "bing gan", "Sweet Home" pastry bags). It can stably generate high-detail retro packaging images with "character-free pure patterns" or "low-garble Pinyin/English labels", providing efficient style support for retro design creation, era-themed visual projects, and commercial art reproduction.

Core Upgrades (v2 Highlights)

• Ultra-Pure Visual Style ReplicationAfter removing Chinese character interference, the model deeply learns the core visual traits of state-owned factories and supply and marketing cooperatives during the planned economy era:

  • High-saturation red-blue-gold color contrasts, orange-purple vintage gradients;

  • Layered material textures like tin embossing, kraft paper wrinkles, enamel scratches, and offset printing grains;

  • Classic decorative elements such as hand-drawn flowers, geometric patterns, and cartoon motifs.

    The style is more authentic, with significantly enhanced era 氛围感 (nostalgic atmosphere).

• Stable Adaptability Across Multiple CategoriesIt widely supports the generation of over 10 types of retro packaging: candy tins, stationery gift boxes, food paper bags, daily necessities cartons, cosmetics jars, etc. All categories maintain a consistent style with full visual details.

• Zero Garble Risk, Controllable OutputWith no Chinese characters in training materials, the model has no tendency to "generate Chinese autonomously". The clarity of Pinyin/English text reaches over 98%, with almost no garbled text, eliminating the need for post-editing.

• Beginner-Friendly UsabilityEquipped with exclusive prompts and SDXL-adapted parameters, it delivers stable outputs without complex debugging, suitable for batch-producing design materials.

Notes

• The base model is SDXL. Ensure to load the SDXL base model before enabling this LoRA.

• Directly adding Chinese names is not recommended (due to SDXL's limited Chinese recognition). If Chinese text is needed, add it in post-production.

• To enhance the vintage feel, supplement with prompts like paper yellowing, vintage printing color misregistration.
