The Design

About Old Parr Embalagem de Whisky

Old Parr é um projeto de embalagem para uma linha de whisky escocês. A garrafa craquelada e sua forma inclinada foram preservadas e valorizadas para manter a qualidade tátil da embalagem e a sensação na mão no momento de servir. O padrão craquelado orgânico foi desenvolvido em parceria com o fabricante de vidro. Os rótulos são impressos sobre um substrato metálico com branco e seis cores, dois vernizes e uma matriz de relevo. As caixas utilizam o mesmo substrato metálico e uma matriz de relevo esculpida que repete o craquelado. Uma tipografia Old English e a indicação de idade evocam a história 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
Born in Scotland, Old Parr has conquered the warm heart of Latin America where it is a synonym of unpretentious status. Its crackled bottle and iconic tilt are recognized worldwide.

Operation Flow
Old Parr’s crackled bottle and iconic tilt are an important part of the brand's personality. In the bottle design, great care was given to retain and enhance the bottle’s tactility, and its feel in the hand when pouring. The bottles tilt reminds us to always see life from a different perspective and embrace all it has to offer.
