Ben Galbraith – Pōkeno Whisky Packaging


The Origin Cask release from Pōkeno Whisky was a true collaboration between designer and printer. Bringing together craftsmanship, creativity, and a shared passion for excellence. The goal was to create a packaging box to match the quality and story of the whisky.

The solution combined multiple Pantone colours, bespoke colour tinting, cold foiling and embossing—plus a mix of coatings.

This project was a team effort with every contributor pitching in to ensure the final product met the highest standards. The result is a packaging box that not only protects the whisky, but enhances its shelf presence, reinforces the value proposition of the product, and captures the essence of this unique kiwi brand.
