Episode 79 - Alberta Distillers Rare Batch Whisky - Olberding Brand Family

<p><strong>In this episode, Dave talks with Chris Gajus, Creative Director at Olberding Brand Family, about the packaging for Alberta Distillers Rare Batch that his team helped bring to life. </strong></p> <p><strong>If you’re a graphic designer or creative director who loves print, packaging, or some sweet sweet embellishments, this episode is for you.</strong></p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong>Chris breaks down how they took a very rough starting point and turned it into a full premium packaging system with strong storytelling, structure, and materials. This includes the strategy behind the mountain imagery, the multi-level emboss, using tactile varnish instead of foil, and how they made sure the whiskey glows through the front and back windows on shelf.</p> <p>You’ll also hear about real&nbsp;considerations&nbsp;designers deal with every day: board weight, coatings, cracking on folds, color matching between substrates, working with vendors, and building files with multiple special-finishes layers. It’s a full look at how design moves from a concept to a finished physical product that pulls people in.</p> <p>Chris also shares his early print memories (video game boxes and manuals), his first print project in school, and a project that totally fell apart thanks to unclear feedback and direction. If you’ve ever had a client say “I’ll know it when I see it,” you’ll feel right at home.</p> <p><strong>Things discussed in this episode:</strong></p> <ul> <li> <p>Premium packaging design</p> </li> <li> <p>Building dielines and structural packaging workflow</p> </li> <li> <p>Multi-level embossing</p> </li> <li> <p>Tactile varnish vs. foil stamping</p> </li> <li> <p>Color matching across substrates</p> </li> <li> <p>Paperboard weight and packaging durability</p> </li> <li> <p>Creating shelf presence in liquor and beverage categories</p> </li> <li> <p>Integrating brand storytelling into print</p> </li> <li> <p>Working with production, prepress, and color teams</p> </li> <li> <p>Turning a rough concept into a print-ready, high-end package</p> </li> </ul> <p><strong>Links:</strong></p> <ul> <li> <p><a href="https://www.olberdingbrands.com/work/alberta-rare-batch/">Alberta Distillers Rare Batch case study</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/crafting-sense-place-premium-design-alberta-distillers-tony-neary-cdaoc/">Project images + visuals</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://www.olberdingbrands.com/">Oberding Brand Family website</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-gajus-1ab604b/">Chris on LinkedIn</a></p> </li> <li><a href="https://www.printdesignacademy.com/">Print Design Academy - Where designers learn print and packaging design</a></li> </ul>
