Remember the days when online orders showed up in plain brown boxes plastered with courier logos?

Boring! Gone are those days of boring packaging.

Last summer, I worked with the incredible graphic designer Rose McVeigh to reimagine the humble spirit bottle shipper box for Republic of Fremantle, transforming it into a gift-worthy experience.

‍

Our mission? To craft a packaging design that felt as premium as the gin and vodka inside—without compromising the safety of those precious glass bottles. It was a little touch-and-go during the development phase (glass is tricky!), but the final product delivered in every sense of the word.

‍

The design stays true to Republic’s signature aesthetic. The exterior features the brand’s textured white background, complemented by a sleek copper band stamped with their logo. Inside, recipients are greeted with a hello booklet that dives into Republic’s grape-to-glass distilling process. And for the cocktail enthusiasts? There are recipe ideas to elevate your at-home bartending game.

‍

This isn’t just a box—it’s a story, a surprise, and a slice of the true Republic of Fremantle experience, delivered straight to your doorstep.

Whether you’re sending a gift or treating yourself, the new shipper box makes the journey part of the joy.
