Custom Distillery Packaging

Our distillery partners

Customise it

We start with co-creation workshops and rapid prototyping to begin bringing ideas to life. And with no upper or lower limits on the number or the design of runs, along with range management, personalisation and digital print colour perfection, you really can let your creativity run wild.

Secure it

Why use a carton at all? Well, we know that what’s inside the box is your pride and joy, and make sure to protect it. Most of our distillery partners opt for heavy 600-micron paperboard with custom embellishments celebrating on the outside and securing the outstanding product inside.

Sell it

Sometimes the bottle alone does the talking, but we know from experience that the extras make a product premium and stand out on the shelf. Our HP Indigo Digital Printing technology can do it all; striking foil mirroring, subtle shimmers, intense colour perfection, textures, embossing and so much more. The resulting carton grabs attention and lets your customers see and feel just how special the product inside is, before the unboxing even begins.

Our services.

  • Creative workshops

    Maybe you are coming down with ideas, but sometimes getting people together to workshop things creates lightbulb moments.

  • Rapid prototyping

    If you’re starting to explore the perfect package for your product, or want to try some new possibilities to elevate the brand and unlock some next level CX, let us help you achieve prototype perfection. Our in-house team and purpose-built LAB is the perfect place to get your ideas into the right shape before ordering the full production run.

  • Range management

    Do you have a range of products or SKU’s that sell in different amounts? And they sell in different amounts? Not a problem, we can set up the full range and produce exactly how many you need of each, whenever you need them. And we ensure that they’re 100% exactly the same every time.

  • Multi-design runs

    Isn’t it annoying when you’ve lots of great messages or images that you want to use on your packaging and you have to just choose one? Not anymore. CoLab can make every carton the same, a little bit different or completely unique. We’d be delighted to explain how we can make this happen.

  • Co-branding

    A collaboration, a partnership, a cross-pollination, whatever ingenious hybrid product you need to shout about we can help you do it in smart ways. Whether it’s a simple wrap with both logos, an innovative mash up of two sets of artwork.

  • Limited edition packs

    Something special for top customers or a partnership with an influencer. If you need to get your latest limited edition to shine, we can help you to make that happen.
