It’s no secret that I don’t drink, but that doesn’t mean I don’t find alcoholic packaging attractive. The simple illustrations are brought to life by sand blasting the glass and creating a subtle layer of meaning that gives more with each interaction.

Project Description
The beautiful set of designs tell the story of the rum’s journey from its origins in the Caribbean, via Amsterdam for blending and over to Scotland for bottling and selling. The illustrations were drafted on a single, uniformed grid, created to ensure that the finished products would be cohesive in style and weight, even though three different designers were working on them individually.This unique run of spirits were made even more special by sand blasting the final illustrations onto the bottles creating an unusual and tactile effect. To complement the products, the team also collaborated on a quirky microsite, combining stunning photography, bespoke illustration and tailored copy to show off the bottles to their fullest potential.
Production Lesson(s)
It was really important for us to make a net to work within before we started the design. The unique shape that the Rumblender bottles meant that it would have been difficult to sandblast on certain areas.
