Beyond the label for classic spirits, premium Armagnac and eclectic gin brands
Although we are proud of our expertise in wine, at Barlow & Co. we specialise in all varieties of drinks packaging, including premium and craft spirits.
From overarching brand identities to exacting label detail, we go beyond the label for every bottle.
Our designs for Spar UK unites their range of quality core spirits and adds premium cues through selected print finishes.
Including designs for Spar’s London Dry Gin, French Brandy, Vodka and Irish Cream Liqueur, each label reflects the classic category cues through colour, typography and iconography.
Combining the power of print with fascinating heritage, our branding and marketing materials for the Rare Armagnac Collection by Château de Hontambere deliver refinement and luxury.
From the mongrammed and highly-polished gold caps on the Armaganc bottle, to the design and photography of the accompanying collateral, each detail has been carefully considered for maximum quality reassurance.
Glamorous, confident, strong and characterful – everything you want from a gin.
Our evolve of Little Bird Gin combines vintage cool with clean modern lines to reflect the brand's maturity and premium positioning. Inspired by the glamour of the 1940s, 'Ginger' - Little Bird's girl - appears on every bottle to bring good luck, and foil finishes highlighting their brand name and natural/vegan credentials.
The Blackwoods spirits label design is inspired by the landscape surrounding their Scottish distillery, and the outstanding botanicals on their doorstep.
The use of teal, a bright and recognisable accent colour, evokes the distillery’s coastal origins. Copper was used to add premium detailing and warmth. As part of the strategic repositioning, Barlow & Co. developed a 360 guidelines document that outlines Blackwoods’ heritage as ‘the authentic Scottish spirit’.
