Cartouche

Echoing a technique once used by ancient Egyptian kings to stamp their authority, Cartouche involves the creation of a round or oval shaped embellishment using die-casting, faux wax or flexible aluminium. Placed on the shoulder of a bottle, they are usually curved but can also be made flat and incorporated into a custom bottle shoulder.

Cartouche offers a timeless and eye-catching way to position a logo or marque so that it becomes an integral part of the product, blending seamlessly with glass or ceramic bottles in particular to create a distinctive appearance that oozes prestige.

The use of cartouches is an ideal way to differentiate between products in the same family while maintaining a cohesive brand image.

Signet’s responsive team was wonderful to work with during the redesign of Lucid Absinthe. Signet developed a unique label that will catch the consumer’s eye but will still fit into our current supply chain system. Signet’s high-quality deliverables were timely and on-budget. Lucid Absinthe is very happy with the new Signet-sourced label. Thank you!
