Formed in 1870, and internationally recognised as an icon of the tequila world, Herradura is one of Mexico’s oldest, and well renowned tequila producers in the world. Embarking upon a modern reinvention of its iconic product label, Herradura was looking for a labelling solution that could clearly communicate their brand values to consumers whilst ensuring its iconic horseshoe logo is easily and quickly identified on competitive shelves. Signet were pleased to work with Herradura to create a light, thin and flexible Marque label that not only captures the heritage of the brand, but also communicating the fine-quality details that set Herradura out as a world-leading Tequila brand.
Fettercairn has been at the forefront of high quality Scottish whisky distillation for almost 200 years. Signet was pleased to collaborate with Fettercairn in a recent bottle redesign and together we created a highly detailed and intricate aluminium label. Our unique Marque label, with its stunning colouring and mesmerising design, was a perfect solution to achieve the sense of prestige and quality that the brand required. We then went on to replicate this design in a slightly larger version to be adhered to the box that several of their products are supplied within.
This is a premium rum, aged in ex-bourbon American oak casks and bottled at 40% abv. Made to be savoured, it commanded only the finest packaging to present it in. SelvaRey required a new, exclusive and standout pack, with its toucan branding taking center stage. It was no mere undertaking: a sandblasted background and embossed logo, but without the heavy ridged edges that tend to come with embossing, and a 70,000-piece initial run.
Glengoyne are committed to quality whiskey in the same way as they are committed to keeping their environmental impact to an almost unbeatable low, eliminating the use of plastic, metal, and magnet from their packaging, hence they choose Signet as a partner to meet their challenging brief. Final result: Glengoyne’s iconic logo with its sand-clock encased shield engraved on a wooden badge. Its design reflects the age of the whiskey and its premium look kept it where it belongs: amongst the fined of the aged sherry casks.
Intrinsically Scottish, the gin extracts its unique blend from 12 handpicked botanicals made up of many local varieties such as gorse flower and heather species. They’re dried and infused in a copper basket during distillation. And it is this important fact that forged the conception of the Zamac medallion we have fired up together with their founder, Alexander Morrison.
Pursuing a lifelong passion, two New York friends from the world of Wall Street entered the world of gin distilling. Both determined to “upend” and modernise the gin market they turned to Nude Brand Creative and Signet to develop their ambition into reality. With the objective of creating a unique gin that reflected both the copper of the still in which their distinctive spirit is distilled and the oxidised industrial copper found around New York City, the perfect label substrate was our Marque™ embossed aluminium. We produced two wrap-around labels – one in a clean, bright copper finish – the other with an antique, coarse finish achieved through a specialist sandpaper-like varnish. To crown it, we also produced the weighty hexagonal stopper – deeply engraved with UPEND’s bold branding, then plated in antique copper.
Founded in 2014 and known for producing handcrafted, artisan spirits, Silent Pool Distillers has become a leader in creating unique, complex flavoured spirits with uncompromising quality. With our shared values, including an unwavering attention to detail, Signet was tasked to support Silent Pool with the packaging design of a new ‘Rose Expression’ limited-edition spirit range. Our Marque® range of flexible aluminium labels offered the ideal solution. We were able to artfully craft an embossed rose pink aluminium label with high-definition metallic printing, enhancing the elegance and exclusivity of the teal-coloured bottle.
One of the best-selling as well as one of the most iconic bourbon brands in the world, Jim Beam is still introducing new additions to their range. Signet was honoured to create an embellishment to premiumise and distinguish their Single Barrel release. Our unique Marque label, with its flexibility and high-level embossing, was the perfect solution to achieve the differentiation they required. Furthermore, we supplied these labels on rolls for automatic application to enable maximum efficiency.
A traditionally-aged, hand distilled Columbian rum that has won taste awards all over the world, La Hechicera makes a bold flavour statement heavily influenced by the character of the wooden casks it’s aged in. Boldness was therefore a big consideration in the creation of an embellishment for the bottle, which is delicately printed with a backdrop depicting the rich flora and fauna of the bodega’s surroundings. Signet developed a stunning, oversized faux wax seal in brilliant blue, using a custom die that also evokes the natural world. The seal was curved to match the face of the bottle and combines perfectly with the label to create a premium look.
Sandeman approached Signet for help with the branding on their limited edition aged tawny port bottles. The company wanted to create a distinctive look for each of the 20, 30 and 40-year aged varieties, while maintaining a cohesive overall look. Signet worked with Sandeman to design a stunning coin featuring the same brand marque used by Sandeman for over a century. This same design was produced in both brass and antique copper variations; the brass was used alone for the 20-year, the antique copper for the 30-year, and the brass in conjunction with a faux-wax seal to bring added gravitas to the 40-year aged bottle. All the embellishments were produced to an exact specification enabling them to fit inside a location area embossed into the bottle.
A Scottish family-run business that’s been satisfying the most elite of whiskey connoisseurs for 120 years. Signet, presented with a brief to develop a subtle yet refined label, with luxury presence for the Gordon MacPhail Private Collection range, we worked collaboratively with the design agency Contagious. Our Marque product was chosen without debate, offering exactly what the brief required, a stunning tactile metal label with the ability of changing the details of the strength, year distilled, and distillery name, as every single cask is unique.
The Wild Geese Irish Honey Liqueur is the first and only super premium honey liqueur produced in Ireland, offering an alternative for traditional whiskey drinkers, and a mild introduction to the spirit for new consumers. Seeking a standout look for their one of a kind product, Wild Geese approached Signet to create a large, faux wax seal for the front of the bottle. A custom die was created featuring the brand’s signature honeybee marque and slogan in relief, which was further highlighted with black print. The reverse of the seal was curved to fit the face of the bottle and the whole piece was designed to sit perfectly inside a shaped location area.
A renowned London purveyor of fine foods and beverages the East India Company has a global heritage and the company brought all of this eclectic experience to bear on the creation of its very own London Dry Gin. We were delighted to be invited to collaborate on the creation of three luxury bottle embellishments to enrich the ethereal look of the frosted glass bottle. We produced a die cast cartouche, Marque flexible aluminium neck wrap and bottle stopper, all featuring the company’s logo and strapline. The cartouche features a compound curve to the reverse for a precise fit, while the two-part, embossed aluminium neck wrap uses a special adhesive to prevent wrinkling. Finally, enamel was added to the relief on the cartouche to bring a touch of colour to the overall look.
Established in 2015, Dublin’s Teeling Distillery is the first new whiskey distillery to open in the city for 125 years – but the family behind the business has a long whiskey-making tradition. To emphasise the company’s heritage, Teeling opted for vintage style branding based on the hand-painted signage of yesteryear, and approached Signet for help to create a dual purpose neck wrap for two of it’s limited edition bottlings. We came up with a beautiful antique bronze self-adhesive Marque label with gold foiled accents and a shaped, perforated tab that adheres across the edge of the bottle stopper, creating a tamper evident security seal.
Seeking a smart, functional solution for a stunning limited-edition boxed whiskey in their 24-year-old ‘Revival’ series, Teeling once again turned to the team at Signet for help to create something befitting of their deluxe product. Since the bottle already featured a metal stopper with a distinctive grooved edge, we knew we could build on this in the design. We created a highly effective and innovative tamper seal by looping a waxed cotton cord around this groove, and then securing in place with an o-ring and a printed neck wrap made from our Marque flexible aluminium label range. The ensemble was finished off with a die-cast silver charm featuring the Teeling logo, which is used as a pull to break the seal with the cord. Simple yet stunning!
With the Renegade Rum Company, the clue is in the name – this is a progressive brand that likes to do things differently! Made on the Caribbean island of Grenada from pure sugar cane rather than the traditional molasses, the rum displays unique flavour characteristics that needed to be reflected in the packaging. Opting for a very plain, contemporary bottle with frosted details, Renegade wanted a statement hangtag that would double as the product label, and Signet complied by producing an embossed metal tag. This was fastened to the bottle neck using steel tension wire rather than a chain or cord, adding a further 3D element to the overall look.
In 1842, at a brewery in Plzeň, brewer Josef Groll introduced the world to the first golden ‘pilsner’ lager, and changed beer forever. His invention soon became the most popular style of beer on the planet. Today, Pilsner Urquell is still brewed in exactly the same way.
To celebrate the beer’s 170th anniversary, brewer SAB Miller’s design agency Lewis Moberley approached Signet to develop a premium tamper evident seal and personalised gift wrap for a 170th anniversary Limited Edition bottling of Pilsner Urquell.
Signet developed a four colour PE label in a faux ‘seal’ style complete with gold foiling and embossing, and most importantly, a tamper evident micro-perforation break seal and strip label for the bottle. We then applied selective resin doming using our Levere process to enhance the colours of the ‘seal’, to give it a 3D profile and create a highly tactile, liquid-look finish. This was then all wrapped in a fine crème tissue paper with a subtle gold printed design for a truly beautiful 170th anniversary presentation.
Lot 40 is a small-batch Canadian rye whisky renowned for its high quality and earthy, classic rye spice notes. This rare cask strength version, aged for 12 years, was released as part of the Northern Border Collection and the company wanted to create a memorable look and feel for the bottle, which is also printed with the ‘story’ of how the product is made. Working very closely with the client, Signet undertook an extensive sampling process to achieve exactly what they wanted – a flexible copper label, applied asymmetrically across the bottle. We sourced an entirely new supplier for this product, which enabled us to produce the label in real copper, embossed with the brand name and some brief details as well as having space for the application of a limited edition sticker.
