About Iced Hop Gin Упакоўка
Густ джына, створаны праз настой хмелю і м'яты перцавай, адлюстраваны ў яго візуальнай ідэнтычнасці. Замарожаны шышак хмелю ў спалучэнні з савой з прыстальным поглядам перадае свежую, прахалодную сутнасць напою. Дамінанта м'яты адлюстравана ва вонкавай упакоўцы праз адценні сіняга і стылізаваныя ледзяныя кветкі. Гэтая халодная, чыстая тэма працягваецца ў матавай шкляной бутэльцы, дзе металічная этыкетка ўзмацняе ледзяное ўражанне. Тонкія марозныя ўзоры і акцэнты ў выглядзе сняжынак тысненыя на паверхні, умацоўваючы свежую тэматыку. Кожны элемент падтрымлівае асвяжальны характар джына.

- Unique Properties
- The frozen hop cone paired with a mystic owl visually reflects the gin's unique flavor profile, dominated by spicy hops and refreshing peppermint. The coolness of mint shapes the overall impression, mirrored in the outer packaging with cool blue tones and ice flowers. This frosty theme extends to the frosted glass bottle, with a metallic label enhancing the icy feel. The recurring owl emblem adds a sense of freshness and determination, highlighting the gin's direct, strong taste.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- 72 mm x 72 mm x 193 mm

- Gin, Infused, iced, owl, hop,
- Production Technology
- In cooperation with the founder, we created the Gin packaging totally from scratch including the material mix. Through these well-chosen and simple materials like the frosted glass and the reflective label the design visually prepares the customer for the upcoming fresh and crisp taste experience.
- Design Challenge
- At first, I experimented with different bottle types i.e. brown beer bottles with crown caps or bow closure. Also, I went for a green color theme for the label with classical Blackletter typography. This has led to, a direction of traditional Franconian craft beer design. The idea of peppermint infusion was not directly visible.

- Inspiration
- The packaging is inspired by handcrafted beer using design elements often seen in craft brewing, like the detailed image of a hop cone. This connects to the idea of quality and care in making the product, similar to how craft beers are made. The frosted glass bottle and metallic label add to this handmade feel, showing that the gin, like craft beer, is made with attention to detail and tradition.
- Project Duration
- The project began in November 2023 and was completed in March 2024. The selection of a suitable mix of materials was especially challenging, as the small production volume meant that an attractively priced paper had to be used for the label and outer packaging.
The gin is produced in a small town in Franconian Switzerland and is sold purely locally in the farm store of the small fruit farm. - Operation Flow
- The fine feel of the velvety, smooth bottles with their fine structure is reminiscent of the feathers of an owl. The asymmetrical label design visually highlights the unconventional character.
