About Old Parr Branding and Redesign
Old Parr is a packaging design for a range of Scotch whisky. The crackled bottle and its tilted form are retained and enhanced to keep the tactile quality of the pack and its feel in the hand when pouring. The organic crackled pattern was developed together with the glassmaker. The labels are printed on a metallic substrate with white and six colors, two varnishes and one embossing plate. The boxes use the same metallic substrate and a sculpted embossing plate that repeats the crackle. An Old English typeface and the age statement recall the history of the brand.

- Production Technology
- For the Old Parr redesign, forceMAJEURE printed the labels on metallic substrate with white and 6 colors, 2 varnishes and one embossing plate. The boxes are printed on metallic substrate as well. The challenge here was to reproduce the bottle label on the facing and apply a sculpted emboss plate over all the box to reproduce the emblematic Old Parr crackle that the bottle is famous for.
- Design Challenge
- The redesign of the Old Parr packaging required special attention. Foremost, the brand needed to be “refreshed,” but still maintain its quirkiness and character. Old Parr’s crackled bottle and iconic tilt are recognized worldwide, and great care was given to retain and enhance the bottle’s tactility.
We researched techniques and crackled pattern designs, and worked closely with the glassmaker to achieve the organic crackled pattern, elegant in its own right when viewed up close.
It was important to honor the rich history of the brand and Thomas Parr, the man, while infusing modernity into the design. The Old English typeface and age statement link the brand’s past, but modern printing techniques enhance the label’s depth, character, and tactility. The Portrait of Thomas Parr appears on the front of the bottle with a clever design and printing technique that enables him to appear and disappear when viewing the bottle from different angles. - Inspiration
