MBC Packaging Design

Macon Beer Company releases a line of standard, widely distributed beers, and maintains a consistent design for those releases. However, frequently throughout the year, they release a small batch of craft brews. After conducting several visual analyses at local gas stations and stores to see what the competition was doing, I designed my own can wrap and 6-pack carton design that could be adopted to stand out on their shelves.

Logo & Pitch

I illustrated a fictional character I named Parley the Pirate to star on the can and carton. Parley was designed to convey a sense of relaxation and peace in a busy, hectic life.

Carton Design

I wanted the design of the carton to mimic a real-life treasure chest. While working on the dieline, I continuously printed prototypes to make sure every piece lined up perfectly. Below you will see the front, top, sides, and bottom—which features a treasure map that leads directly to MBC's headquarters in town.

Sleeve Design

Since the carton acts as the treasure chest, the cans inside represent the hidden riches all pirates are after. To accomplish this, I used a golden, metal-textured sleeve so everyone could get a piece of the treasure.
