The Design
About Old Parr Función Principal: Envases para Whisky
Old Parr é un deseño de envase para unha gama de whisky escocés. A botella cuarteada e a súa forma inclinada consérvanse e poténcianse para manter a calidade táctil do envase e a súa sensación na man ao servir. O patrón orgánico cuarteado desenvolveuse xunto co fabricante de vidro. As etiquetas están impresas nun soporte metálico con branco e seis cores, dous vernices e unha placa de gravado en relevo. As caixas empregan o mesmo soporte metálico e unha placa de gravado en relevo esculpida que repite o cuarteado. Unha tipografía Old English e a indicación de engarolamento evocan a historia da marca.

- 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
