Special effects on packaging can do even more than grab the eye when they are part of an overall brand strategy.

Limited-Edition Glenmorangie Holiday Pack Dazzles

Design agency ButterflyCannon created a limited edition holiday package for Glenmorangie Original single malt scotch whiskey designed to catch the shopper’s eye. The package morphs from a bright orange to a golden glow as you walk past; it appears to “flip” with the variation of light.
 
“Standout on a supermarket shelf at the festive time of year is a big challenge for any brand,” says Anne Phillips, senior brand manager, Glenmorangie. “ButterflyCannon have managed to create a stunning design for our signature expression which is eye catching and amplifies the brand’s key colors, the watermark patten.”
