Design agency Denomination was commissioned by a vodka and gin distillery to revamp its look and draw on its Canberra roots.

Denomination helped The Underground Spirits emphasise the science behind its range, as well as develop its strategic brand positioning, brand identity, and packaging.

Denomination used a muted colour palette for the spirits, finding inspiration in the colours of the Canberran and Australian landscape, and reflecting the quality of the local, natural ingredients.

Metallic ink on uncoated stock provides a smooth and natural finish, reflecting the product, Denomination CEO Rowena Curlewis says.

The new brand identity uses a stylised map of Canberra and a snowflake shape – direct references to the provenance of the brand and the patented ultra-cold purifying ‘cryofiltering’ process.

The holographic tamper seal brings a scientific feel to the bottles, echoing the filtering method.

The gin, vodka, caramel vodka and coffee vodka are available in Australia at RRP $80.

CCEP has completed a $39.7m manufacturing upgrade at its Kewdale facility in WA, installing a high-speed can production line that increases capacity by more than 40% and lifts production speeds to 1500 cans per minute.

Nearly 6 in 10 Aussies in food and beverage manufacturing believe their organisation is becoming less productive, despite continued investment in workplace technology, according to Argon & Co.

Every food, drink, personal care and household product made in Australia starts with an investment decision. A company chooses to replace a production line, automate a process or expand a plant. That choice is now made in a global market for capital, and Australia is struggling to compete. The question is simple. Will the next generation of manufacturing investment come here?
