Cheers to World Gin Day! 

Pop the cork (or unscrew the cap)… it’s World Gin Day!  

A global celebration of juniper joy, botanical brilliance, and all things crisp and refreshing. Whether you’re a classic G&T connoisseur or a cocktail adventurer, today’s the perfect excuse to sip, savour, and raise a glass to the UK’s favourite spirit. 

Here at Clyde Presentation Packaging, we don’t just celebrate what’s in the bottle, we celebrate what’s around it. Because let’s be honest: the first thing anyone sees isn’t the liquid, it’s the look. And we like to make sure that gin brands look as good as they taste. 

 

Why Packaging Matters in the World of Gin 

Let’s face it… Gin’s gone glam.  

With hundreds of brands lining the shelves, it’s not enough to taste amazing. You’ve got to catch eyes, spark curiosity, and scream “pick me!” before a drop is even poured. 

That’s where packaging comes in. It’s the silent salesperson, the shelf showstopper, the reason someone picks your bottle for their next gift, celebration, or night-in treat.  

We’re the secret ingredient behind that “wow” moment. From bold boxes to luxe finishes, we help distillers tell their story before the first sip. 

After all, gin’s evolved… and so should the way it’s presented.

Clyde Presentation Packaging: Behind the Box 

Gin may win awards for what’s in the bottle, but the magic starts long before the first pour.  

We believe a great gin box should stop you in your tracks, tell a story, and feel just as considered as the spirit it holds (because it is). 

Over the years, we’ve had the pleasure of partnering with all sorts of gin makers—from heritage distilleries with deep roots to bold, boundary-pushing newcomers. Each one brings its own flavour (pun very much intended), and we love nothing more than helping them show that off from the outside in. 

We’ve worked with the likes of Theodore Gin by Greenwood Distillers, Wright Brothers’ Half Shell Gin, Downpour from North Uist Distillery, Boe, and Marberg Icelandic Gin—to name just a few. Whether it’s a one-off special or a flagship release, our mission stays the same: custom design, proper craftsmanship, and the kind of detail that borders on obsession (the good kind). 

From premium board stocks and textured finishes to foil flourishes and clever touches tucked under the lid, every element is designed to reflect the spirit of the brand. 

And yes, we’re thinking green too. Today’s gin lovers care about sustainability (as do we), which is why we’re big on recyclable materials, FSC-certified boards, and clever ways to ditch the plastic without losing the polish. Less waste, more wow.

Spotlight on Gin Trends for 2025 

This year’s gin trends? Think flavour, flair, and a little bit of fun. Here’s what’s stirring the spirits world: 

  • Botanical adventures – From seaweed to saffron, distillers are getting bold with their blends. 
  • Gin-spirational gifting – Presentation packs, miniature sets, and collectors’ editions are flying off the shelves. 
  • Vibrant visuals – Labels are louder, colours are bolder, and boxes are getting a serious glow-up. 
  • Sustainable sips – Consumers care about the planet (and their packaging). Recyclable, reusable, and beautiful? Yes please. 

We keep our finger on the pulse (and our hands in the paper samples) to help brands bring these trends to life. 

Our Ginspiration 

We couldn’t not share some of our team’s favourite gin serves, could we? Consider this your mini menu of liquid joy: 

  • “Clyde & Seek” – classic London Dry gin, elderflower liqueur, lemon, and a dash of mystery (ok, bitters). Elegant, surprising, unforgettable 
  • “The Classic Clyde” – Navy-strength gin, cucumber, a splash of soda, and quiet confidence. 
  • “Friday Desk Clearer” – Raspberry gin, elderflower tonic, and the last email unsent. 
  • “The Bonnie Clyde” – A cheeky take on a Negroni—equal parts gin, sweet vermouth, and rhubarb aperitif. Dangerously drinkable and dressed to impress.

At Clyde, we believe every gin deserves to dress the part. Whether it’s a seasonal launch, a global expansion, or a gift pack that has to impress, we’re here to make your packaging sing.
