Case 02 / European wine brand

Premium presentation.
Protection with commercial logic.

A European wine brand needed a kraft paper can around a standard cylindrical bottle, with spot UV, foil and embossing supporting a premium position.

01 / The constraint

What made the project difficult.

A tinplate lid introduced tooling, size and color constraints. Fully customized color becomes practical at around 100,000 sets, so the visual ambition had to be balanced with order rhythm and component economics.

02 / The response

What the team changed.

A paper-led solution was developed around the bottle through one to two sampling rounds. The circular paper body adds cushioning and can recover from some impacts, while the structure stays close to the bottle shape.

03 / The outcome

Evidence that the solution moved beyond sampling.

04 / What the project taught us

Premium packaging works commercially when its value is visible and its cost remains proportionate to the product inside.
