These illustrated paper bags are eye-catching, low cost, and quick to produce, making them ideal for seasonal promotions.
About the project
Absolut is one of the most famous brands on the planet, known for its
Absolut invited illustrators from around the globe to submit designs based on the city of their choice. The winning designs were then printed onto the bags, which were sold in the relevant city – wrapped around a bottle of Absolut, of course.
The project outcome
The GPA Luxury team manufactured a range of sturdy yet flexible paper bags working from designs by Alexandra Wong, Mauro Martins and Daniel Barbosa – to name a few. Each printed bag is held closed at the neck with a silicone bracelet, which is designed to be worn on the wrist as a unique memento once the pack has been opened.
Because these bags can be produced quickly and at a low cost, they’re the perfect medium for special events in cities around the world. They also allow the Absolut team to celebrate special occasions without the need to incur bottle manufacturing or label printing costs. A final benefit is that the bag gives local countries amazing speed to market.
