Fantastic Mr. Box x Dog & Spoon

Written By Steve Tomkins

We're thrilled to share our recent collab with the fantastic Dog & Spoon Distillery! 🎉 They're a local Derbyshire distillery known for their premium handcrafted gin, and they needed a packaging solution for their new range of 10cl miniatures.

We were tasked with creating something that was not only effective and economical but also super sustainable, aligning with their commitment to the environment. Plus, it had to look the part, reflecting their cool, modern, and proudly Derbyshire brand identity.

So, we got to work and designed a bespoke carrier that's sturdy, easy to carry, and can securely hold three mini bottles of their delicious gin. It's made from fully recyclable e-flute corrugated cardboard – seriously, it can be recycled up to 25 times! This was chosen for its durability, and premium feel.

And the design features clever little apertures that show off those bottle labels beautifully and make it easy to swap the gins around without any fuss or requirement for additional packaging!

The feedback has been amazing, and sales in Q4 were fantastic! 🚀 This shows that great packaging can be a game-changer for brands.

We're all about creating packaging solutions that help businesses thrive, so if you're looking to elevate your brand with packaging that packs a punch, why not call for a chat!
