API’s micro glitter is second skin to Viniq Shimmery Liqueur

Packaging Solutions

A foil from brand enhancement specialist API is recreating the glamour and impact of Viniq Shimmery Liqueur on its retail display box. The holographic Micro Glitter foil flawlessly integrates with the overall graphic intent to convey the brand promise of the distinctive new liqueur from E & J Gallo Winery.

Marketed to millennials, Viniq Shimmery Liqueur is a fusion of premium vodka, Moscato wine and natural fruit flavours. Initially only available on the West coast, the liqueur’s remarkable success soon prompted E & J Gallo to distribute itacross the US.

The Micro Glitter foil, part of API’s Holofoil range, is applied to the retail display box by Pacific Southwest Container. It creates sparkling waves of light that emanate from a printed image of the Viniq Shimmery Liqueur bottle. This graphic display represents the swirling shimmer effect of the liqueur when it is poured into a glass.

The box exemplifies packaging that acts as a ‘second skin’ by representing the product’s qualities and helping to build a relationship with the customer even before purchase. It works in perfect harmony with the other elements of the product to attract its target market of young millennials, catching the consumer’s eye and visually telling the story of the shimmering liqueur.

‘The selling point of the API Micro Glitter foil was the unique dot size and density, and how great it looked with the customer’s graphics,’ commented David Turnbaugh, estimator at PSC. ‘The graphics were designed to complement the impact of the foil, which has performed exceptionally well both during manufacture and in the results delivered to the customer.’
