2026 World Packaging Competition Reviews

Panelist 1 Summary Comments: - Dark and mysterious which makes sense with a hardcore beverage, THC level is CLEAR to the consumer Panelist 2 Summary Comments: Brand and potency stand out the most, so kudos there.

Awards: 2026 Best Can Series

Panelist 1 Summary Comments: - Clean, bold and elegant, perhaps box and/or bottle should note 8% lower weight...and LOVE the extra info on the gift boxes. This is lost on the bottles as they have no info on the product and QR code is nutrition label only Panelist 2 Summary Comments: Easily identifiable brand and sku, great color palette reminiscent of the different liquids. Panelist 3 Summary Comments: The little details, touches and finishes elevate the design and bring the premium look. Very well done. Great connection to the agave product, from opening the box to the glass cover and the textures. Panelist 4 Summary Comments: Nothing to Add Panelist 5 Summary Comments: Nothing to Add

Awards: 2026 Best Spirits Series

Panelist 1 Summary Comments: At this price point and high design, more attention should have been taken with finishes noted in weakness - these are all some of the least expensive fixes to a dramatic, expensive bottle Panelist 2 Summary Comments: A fitting, luxury package for the liquid inside. Panelist 3 Summary Comments: Nice compact bottle and waves that are carried consistently throughout the brand. Love the orange pop of color on the wrapping paper as well, adds sophistication.

Awards: 2026 Best Tap Handle

Panelist 1 Summary Comments: - A lot of copy on the back is fun, does not tell a lot about why this is unique Panelist 2 Summary Comments: $52 for a blanco is high for a tequila whose packaging declares it unpretentious. However, top to bottom this packaging matches the premium price and provenance of the liquid. Stands out amongst peers. Panelist 3 Summary Comments: Great design that speaks authentic tequila = label + glass bottle Panelist 4 Summary Comments: Nothing to Add Panelist 5 Summary Comments: Nothing to Add

Panelist 1 Summary Comments: - BRAVO! Packaging is in seamless form and function with liquid, would love a touch more on back label re 4 oak barrels to make this bottling Panelist 2 Summary Comments: Not as much thought for the craftsmanship with the messaging as the rest of the lineup. Panelist 3 Summary Comments: Nice color choices that connect silver to Cristalino. Nice bottle waves that are consistent with the rest of the portfolio. Nice embossment on the black box. Panelist 4 Summary Comments: Nothing to Add Panelist 5 Summary Comments: Nothing to Add

Panelist 1 Summary Comments: - Missed opportunity to communicate on box and/or back label to why one should pay $100 for this besides the premium package Panelist 2 Summary Comments: The bottle, box material, design, and closures are great. But the tequila inside is a total mystery. Panelist 3 Summary Comments: Beautiful package. Nice box presence. Opening that showcases the beautiful bottle. Black embossed copy is positioned nicely on the box. Panelist 4 Summary Comments: Nothing to Add Panelist 5 Summary Comments: Nothing to Add

Panelist 1 Summary Comments: - Simply smashing, a WOW!! - Would sell itself if poured by the glass or bottle at a bar or restaurant Panelist 2 Summary Comments: No information about the wine paired with the maybe organic provenance tells me I am paying $30 for packaging with no substance. Will look good on a shelf or at the club though. Panelist 3 Summary Comments: Nothing to Add Panelist 4 Summary Comments: Nothing to Add Panelist 5 Summary Comments: Nothing to Add

Panelist 1 Summary Comments: -Great package matches the story and product, would be nice on back label to spell out how to pronounce this Panelist 2 Summary Comments: Overall nice looking package, but looks like it could have just been spit out by a computer program that was told to make a premium vodka package with this brand name and romance language. Panelist 3 Summary Comments: The overall design has a great idea but lacks sophistication in execution. Panelist 4 Summary Comments: Nothing to Add Panelist 5 Summary Comments: Nothing to Add

Panelist 1 Summary Comments: - Just need to make it faster for a consumer to understand this has Bourbon and Tonic as that is unique and they may pass this up as they have no idea what it is. - Maybe add also 18 Proof to emphasize this is a serious cocktail RTD Panelist 2 Summary Comments: In a crowded field this packaging does the trick but doesn't stand above. Panelist 3 Summary Comments: The black print is not consistent on the two cans. Panelist 4 Summary Comments: Nothing to Add Panelist 5 Summary Comments: Nothing to Add

Panelist 1 Summary Comments: - REDO the front font, front copy placement and remove the bhfr as they detract from the fanciful artwork Panelist 2 Summary Comments: A fun, off-color package for an off-color style of wine. Panelist 3 Summary Comments: The design and finishes does not align with the price point $39. Panelist 4 Summary Comments: Nothing to Add Panelist 5 Summary Comments: Nothing to Add
