Rawlings invigorates Cotswold Brew Co's beer bottles

Cotswold Brew Co is one of the oldest lager microbreweries in the UK. As part of a rebranding project they asked Rawlings to help re-invigorate their lager bottles. They had a new logo to work with, so the goal was to build on this and create unique packaging that set them apart, reinforcing their new visual identity, to ultimately increase sales.

WHAT WE DID: Bold & black

After in-depth discussions about their brand, the lager and their vision for the packaging, the client decided on a bottle shape from our 330ml Vichy range, sprayed black with a bold screen-printed logo. However we were concerned the black spray could get scratched on filling lines. Instead, we recommended using our new 330ml black glass bottle. Although a different shape, it would reduce the overall cost of the project, and the risk of damage would be greatly reduced. Happily the client agreed.

THE RESULT: Loved by lager drinkers

Together we created a visually-striking black bottle that proudly shows off the Cotswold Brew Co’s bold new logo and distinct lager. Lager drinkers love it too - the new bottle has achieved an uplift in sales, new customers and new trade accounts.

"We are really pleased to have found Rawlings as our glass packaging specialist, especially Jay who managed the project, he has been instrumental in establishing the relationship. Rawlings have offered a high-level of advice, customer service, honest and timely responses throughout the project, and we are delighted with the result." — EMMA KEENE, MANAGING DIRECTOR, COTSWOLD BREW CO

Rawlings offers Luscombe a new packaging concept

Luscombe produces a range of high end drinks that are filled in flint and amber bottles. In the past the filling approach required two different bottles and the amber bottle used by the firm was underperforming. Instead of sourcing a bottle from overseas or creating a single bespoke amber bottle, Rawlings opted to create a single tailored mould for the company. This not only solved past problems but also allowed for design improvements and permitted both bottles to be produced using an interchangeable head.
