Premium Impact, Smart Design
Pink gin remains one of the fastest-growing spirits categories worldwide, a trend the renowned Beefeater distillery in England is confidently embracing. Their Pink Strawberry Gin firmly occupies the premium segment, supported by a gift pack that stands out at first glance. The packaging unites bottle and branded glass in a visually striking yet highly efficient carton solution, created by STI Group to maximise brand appeal at the point of sale. The pack’s shelf presence is driven by five-colour printing with UV gloss varnish, an embossed logo that strengthens the premium look, a printed corrugated insert that complements the design and ensures stability, and expressive artwork featuring a cocktail recipe that encourages consumer engagement. Together these features elevate the gifting experience and reinforce brand visibility in a highly competitive retail environment.

Dynamic Digital Label
The Dynamic Digital Label is not a variant of a classic QR code. It is the next functional step in packaging labelling. Instead of static content, the GS1 Digital Link connects each individual package with digital, updatable information. This is made visible by a 2D code and technically possible by the right system. Smart packaging made of cardboard and corrugated cardboard Laser-sensitive varnish in offset printing and CO₂ laser marking directly in the line create a serialised GS1 Digital Link QR code: no label, no ink, no additional material. The result is a stable, clean and high-performance solution for the variable marking of folding boxes and corrugated cardboard packaging: Less energy consumption. No dust. Low operating costs. High speed. One code. Many functions. Real-time capable. GS1 Digital Link connects packaging and digital content. Instead of static print data, dynamic information is stored. Each package receives its own ID: batch, serial number, best-before date, product history. All browser-based. No login. No app. No barriers.
Striking Natural Cosmetics
The young German brand Rosental Organics represents a new generation of natural cosmetics: authentic and digitally driven. This brand ethos is also reflected in the pack-aging design, which focuses on timeless elegance and delivers high impact both online and at the point of sale. STI Group developed a broad range of packaging solutions for Rosental Organics – from fold-ing cartons and ampoule packaging to an e-commerce box. Just as the products themselves place effectiveness at the heart of the brand experience, the various packaging formats offer an appealing visual and tactile experience.
