About Heffron Envàs per a Ampolla de Rom

Heffron és el disseny d'envàs per a un rom produït per una destil·leria txeca. El rom homenatja les legions txecoslovaques, que van lluitar a Rússia entre 1914 i 1918 i van ajudar a establir la República Txecoslovaca. Heffron és el nom de l'últim vaixell que va transportar els legionaris de Rússia a Europa. El disseny s'inspira en les cartes que els soldats enviaven a casa durant el llarg viatge. L'ampolla de vidre transparent té una capacitat de 500 ml. L'etiqueta està feta de paper crema texturitzat amb un encunyat de perforació en forma de segell de carta i vernís brillant localitzat, impresa en tres colors.

Unique Properties
Rum Heffron was created in honor to the Czechoslovak legions. They fought against the Bolsheviks in Russia in 1914-1918 and made a significant contribution to the establishment of the Czechoslovak Republic after the end of World War I. The rum was launched on the Czech market on the occasion of the centenary of Czechoslowak legionnairs return home after a long journey around the world (from Russia via Panama back to Europe).
Dimensions & Packaging
Bottle: volume 500 ml, diameter 83 mm, height 191,5 mm.

Production Technology
Transparent glass bottle. Label from textured creamy paper with letter stamp perforation die cut and local glossy varnish. Printed by three Pantone colors.
Design Challenge
The challenge was to interpret the Czechoslovak legions values in an authentic way, engagingly and with dignity on the rum brand.
Research
I learned more about the historic context of my country and life destinies of soldiers fighting in the First and mainly also in the Second World War.
Inspiration
The long journey home (from Russia, via Panama to Europe) and the letters the legionnaires were sending home, are the inspiration for the concept. The name Heffron is the name of the last ship that carried legionnaires from Russia to Europe.
Project Duration
This project started in July 2018 and was finished in August 2019 in Prague, Czechia.
Operation Flow
It is simple spirit bottle – there's no special function to it. The short legionnaires story on the label might be considered as educative.
Patents
Trademark (2019) Palírna U Zeleneho stromu
