The Gin Guide Awards is the largest independent Gin Awards in the world and is recognised and respected across the globe. Finalists and Winners are selected through rigorous blind taste testing and a unique scoring process to present the most comprehensive results in the industry.
ESC Packaging have worked with large and small gin companies on branding and packaging projects and sponsoring the awards is a great fit for us.
ESC Packaging MD Carri says “We’re excited to be involved in this year’s gin awards. Having worked with several gin companies from small start ups to global brands across all kinds of eco friendly packaging projects involving products such as shelf ready boxes, bottle boxes, tissue paper, labels, carrier bags, Christmas crackers, advent calendars and gift boxes, I am still thrilled every time a new project gels together perfectly, despite this being my 29th year in the business!”
Paul Jackson, Editor of The Gin Guide says, “We are delighted and proud to partner with ESC as an official sponsor in 2024. Alongside the blind tasting categories of the Awards, we have always given focus to exceptional branding and environment sustainability through our popular Design & Branding category, which aligns perfectly with the passions and skills of ESC in design and in environmentally-considerate and ethically sourced packing. ESC also work with many Members of The Gin Guide, from small and growing producers such as Orkney Distillery / Kirkjuvagr Gin through to major brands such as Edinburgh Gin, meaning that we have seen and can trust the quality of their work and their outstanding capability to deliver creative and bespoke packaging solutions for brands of all sizes.”
The gin industry continues to go from strength to strength with gin now the UKs most popular alcoholic drink. Enjoyed with mixers, in cocktails, used as an ingredient and with several brands offering alcohol-free options too.
ESC Packaging and The Gin Guide Awards are a great pairing – just like your favourite gin and mixer!
At ESC Packaging we have decades of experience in building brands so whatever stage your business is at we can jump on board and help you.
Whether you are a brand new start up or an established trader looking to rebrand or add a new range we can help with the process.
You have the product but no idea how to package it – no problem, that’s our bag – or box! We can help you think about where your product might be sold, whether it will sit on shelves, hang from hooks, need protective packaging or simple tag or sticker.
We will chat through packaging options with you including your budget, your storage capacity, how quickly you need packaging delivered, what your brand priorities are in terms of luxury, eco credentials and competitor products.
We can assist with looking at what else is on the market similar to your product, help with focus groups and market research to get customer feedback on what is winning and what needs work with your brand.
It’s time to spin the colour wheel and look at logos, branding, images and more. Let’s give your brand a voice, a name, an image and a look. We can create custom artwork for you to approve along with CAD designs to start bringing your packaging to life.
The design is nailed down, it’s time to look at pricing, production and product costs. A long lead time for a large order means cheaper prices per unit but you may want smaller numbers, a more local production or a faster turnaround. We can lay out all of your options so you can look at costs, stock holding and more for your business projections.
From holding the first prototype of your packaging in your hands to seeing a full delivery of packaging arriving, with regular delivery updates and clear communication all the way.
ESC is here for every stage of your packaging journey – talk to us about your needs and see how we can help.
