A range of rich, ornate, non-minimalist packaging projects this week, with work from Manila, Auckland, and Glasgow. Archipelago by And A Half Archipelago is a new range of gins produced by Full Circle Craft Distillers in the Philippines. The packaging, designed by Manila-based And A Half, is rich and ornate from top to bottom, starting with the illustrated letters that make up the name, where each detailed illustration depicts a step of the gin-making process. Only the “ARC” made it unto the bottle but the full set is beautiful and it’s also amazing how well they work in a single color. The labels are unapologetically dense and they give the gin an exotic look that make it clear this isn’t your typical spirit. See full project Manuka Emporium by Onfire Manuka Empori
