An inspiring selection of beer and spirits packaging to whet your design whistle.
What a year it’s been. Never before have we needed the treasure the small delights in life to help get us through the dark days, weeks and months. Whether that be a nip of your favorite tipple, or a glimpse of some beautiful packaging design – which can be equally heady for brand obsessed designers like us here at Truly Deeply.
Talking to a client this week about developing a brand for his start-up Rum distillery, we began to immerse ourselves in what’s been happening around the world with packaging in this category. Time and again we were reminded of the passion and pure design aesthetic that can be found on the shelves of bottle shops and bars around the world.
We’ve collected our favorite alcohol packaging designs for the year spotted on Uncrate – a favorite site for finding beautifully designed anythings from tech to auto to architecture (and of course alcohol).
