The packaging Brand Union Hong Kong came up with for “The Governor’s Choice,” a version of Mandalay Rum aimed at the American and European markets, is an intriguing example of how paper, when perfectly deployed, can make a brand. “The bottle itself is inspired by antique rum receptacles and includes engravings to achieve an antique patina,” according to The Dieline. “The pattern work was inspired from carvings found at ancient Mandalay temples.” So far, so perfect.
