Field Group, part of the Chesapeake Corporation and one of Europe’s leading carton manufacturers, has produced a stylish carton to support the launch of a special Christmas pack for Glenfiddich, single malt Scotch whisky.

The shape of the elegant carton was designed to give the impression that the whisky is cocooned within the protective layers of the pack. The distinctive triangular bottle released once the pack is opened. A rectangular strip has been cut from the front and back elevations of the pack to ensure the visibility of the bottle.

An internal vacuum forming holds the bottle firmly in place and a high-quality sleeve wraps the pack. This is printed in six-colours, then varnished and embossed to reflect the premium quality associated with the pack. The Field Group says it used new techniques to window-patch the sleeve on to the carton prior to gluing.

Pack design came from Enterprise IG and the Accent Fresco Ebony matt black carton board was supplied by UK paper merchant GF Smith. The board is de-bossed with William Grant’s signature and the wording ‘Aged 12 Years’ and ‘Special Reserve’.
