Cooperation: „GINSTR – Stuttgart Dry Gin“, Stuttgart Distillers GbR

Background
The company Stuttgart Distillers GbR, with its brand “GINSTR – Stuttgart Dry Gin” needed a gift packaging that can be offered in its own online shop as well as through sales partners. For this reason the cooperation with the HfK+G came off: a gift packaging should be arranged, which looks noble however is suitable evenly also for a safe dispatch.

Briefing from GINSTR

• Gift box for the online shop (contents: 1 bottle “GINSTR” + 2 glasses)
• should look noble, must at the same time ensure secure shipping (via DHL)
• Corporate design colours: white & gold + black as extension for advertising material
• Logo should be applied clearly visible on the outside (completely in gold or partly in white)
• preferred material: print-finished hardboard (e.g. hot foil stamping, blind stamping, partial varnish, …)
• possible implementation: box “better fold than push”, magnetic closure
