The spirit industry is a very competitive market, but also one of the most creative sectors regarding packaging. As in most cases the packaging is the only communication that will appeal to the customers from the first moment, the right branding and glass bottle packaging design is essential for achieving commercial success.

A notable example that exemplifies the importance of packaging is the Swiss Crystal Gin, introduced by Rugen Distillery in 2016. We guided Rugen Dillistery through the entire design process and conducted their own bottle shape thanks to our close contacts with glass bottle suppliers, glass factory and glass bottle manufacturers in Europe. Thanks to this distinctive network we can create any bottle shape – the sky is the limit !

The Unique design of Crystal Gin

Rugen Distillery’s Swiss Crystal Gin is known for its delicious taste and eye-catching packaging. Made with care in the Bernese Oberland, it combines the finest Swiss mountain water with a blend of twelve alpine herbs. What sets it apart is the final touch of passing the gin over a rock crystal, adding a special touch of perfection. This same level of detail is reflected in the gin’s packaging, creating a connection between the product and its overall bottle shape.
