Andy's Job of the Month (November)

Iconic Whisky Meets Iconic Music

We're back with another exciting project to share with you and we’ve selected it as our Job of the month!

At Showcase Creative, we've had the privilege of crafting custom packaging for some iconic brands over the years, and this time around, we're thrilled to showcase our work for Ballantine's Whisky, designed by the talented team at Missouri Creative.

Ballantine's, a renowned name in the world of fine whisky, recently embarked on a unique journey by celebrating two of the most legendary bands in music history: AC/DC and Queen. The result? Two limited edition whiskies, each featuring its own distinct packaging which we had the privilege of producing.

AC/DC Limited Edition Whisky - A Thunderbolt of Flavour

Ballantine's has aptly described the AC/DC Limited Edition Whisky as "putting a rock 'n' roll spin on our equally iconic and timeless bottle of finest." This bottle is a true celebration of AC/DC's legendary status in the music world.

The packaging we created captures the essence of AC/DC's electrifying presence. The outer case, adorned with digitally printed thunderbolts, draws inspiration from the band's latest album, "PWR UP." Crafted from uncoated 140gsm paper and anti-scuff matt laminated to preserve the packagings appearance.

Inside, a digitally printed liner from 150gsm silk, also anti-scuff matt laminated to help prevent wear and tear. To keep the bottle and two accompanying glasses securely in place, we designed a custom fitment.

Queen Limited Edition Whisky - Paying Homage to Musical Royalty

The Queen Limited Edition Whisky bottle features a crest designed by the one and only Freddie Mercury. The design pays homage to Queen's legacy and the band's everlasting impact on music.

Like the AC/DC packaging, the outer case is digitally printed on 140gsm paper and anti-scuff matt laminated to ensure lasting quality. The 150gsm silk liner inside adds an extra layer of sophistication.

Both editions have concealed magnetic flap closures and feature custom fitments designed to hold the bottle and glasses securely, ensuring that the contents remain protected and stylishly displayed.
