This veteran-owned company and its brand have a military theme. The company felt that a grenade-style packaging solution would provide an instantaneous link between grenades, military, explosion, heat, and hot sauce, would be shelf-friendly for retailers and would gain a permanent space on the kitchen table. The container is a 6-oz, pineapplestyle hand grenade bottle with a custom bottom plate and a threaded neck. There is a flat panel on the back for a label. The plastic black bottle cap that features a grenade-like "spoon" running down the side of the bottle with a black metallic dog tag that features the brand name and the company's motto, "A Great Sauce for the Greater Good."

When developing a gift package for his popular jams and marmalades, Cedroni wanted an original package that would be identified exclusively with his name. The thick glass wall and deep, nesting push-up create a sophisticated package. Each jar is sealed with a different overwrap, in a color appropriate to the content’s distinctive flavor. A deep indent in the bottom of each jar allows the next jar to stack securely.

The label’s typography was chosen to allow for clear communication as well as with a hint to being hand-set. The package targets discerning Millennials, passionate about new experiences.

STUDIO ONE ELEVEN

Peace Tree Brewing is a craft brewery based in Knoxville, Iowa, producing four flagship craft¬ beers, as well as several seasonal and specialty beers. Starting with its Belgian-style blonde ale—Blonde Fatale—the brewery wanted to modify its standard bottle for better utility (achieving a true 12-oz fill and easier opening) and better shelf impression. The new stubby bottle with distinctive embossments wrapped in vibrant graphics and cartons creates a bold shelf presence. The label and the bottle show how Peace Tree straddles classic and contemporary with bold colors and intricate designs.
