Cheers to World rum Day!
12th July 2025 is World Rum Day – a global celebration of craftsmanship, culture and character. But it’s not just about what’s inside the bottle. At Clyde Presentation Packaging, we believe packaging should elevate the experience; from the first glance to the final pour. This year, we’re proud to raise a glass to three standout rum brands who trust us to bring their packaging visions to life. Let’s take a look at how we’ve helped them present their spirits with purpose and style.
Fynoderee Distillery – Custom Wooden Boxes for a Spirit Steeped in Story
The Fynoderee Distillery, based on the Isle of Man, is all about storytelling and small-batch spirit making. For their limited-edition rum releases, we created bespoke wooden presentation boxes – handcrafted to match the brand’s premium, earthy aesthetic.
This is Limited Edition release was fermented and distilled at the Fynoderee Distillery in Ramsey from organic Colombian Panela. It then made a very special and unusual journey to its resting place within the Tower via some of the Island’s much loved heritage transport. It was then filled into 11 first fill bourbon quarter casks securely stowed within the Tower to barrel age for the following 12 months.
These boxes don’t just house a bottle – they frame a moment. Made with natural wood and gold foiling, they reflect the Fynoderee values of heritage, craft, and care. A keepsake long after the last drop.
House of Rum – Elegant E-Flute Packaging with Impact
When House of Rum approached us, they were after something sophisticated, sustainable, and totally in tune with their premium product. We created a custom E-flute presentation box – lightweight yet sturdy, and ideal for protecting the bottle while keeping things sleek.
This award-winning rum is rich and dark in colour as a reflection of the many years it has spent maturing in wood. Originally placed into American Oak, ex-Bourbon casks this Rum remained in the Dominican Republic tropically ageing in the warm humidity of the Caribbean for eight years before being shipped to the cooler climate of the UK where it was re-casked into an ex-Rum cask for further maturation before being bottled by House of Rum in 2023.
The final result was a minimalist design with foil detailing and a rich, tactile finish using spot UV that perfectly complements the quality of the rum inside. It’s the kind of box that invites you to savour, not rush. Exactly what this spirit deserves.
Wester Spirits – Kraft Gift Packaging for Miniatures with a Punch
Bold, independent, and unmistakably Glaswegian – Wester Spirits needed packaging for their miniature rum collection that was just as full of personality as the brand itself.
We designed a kraft gift pack that balances a rustic, craft aesthetic with a practical, retail-ready structure. Die-cut windows showcase the bottles, while the sturdy build ensures the rums arrive safe, sound, and ready to sip. It’s packaging that feels honest, unpretentious, and full of character – just like Wester.
Why Packaging Matters on World Rum Day
Rum is more than a drink – it’s a heritage, a ritual, a gift. And on World Rum Day, we’re celebrating the role packaging plays in shaping that experience.
At Clyde, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Every box, sleeve, and bag we design is built around the story, spirit, and audience of each brand we work with. Whether it’s corrugated board, kraft paper, or custom wood, we make packaging that adds value, not just volume.
So, here’s to the makers. To House of Rum, Wester Spirits, Fynoderee, and all the distillers who pour their hearts into every bottle – we’re proud to help you bring that story to life.
Happy World Rum Day!
And remember, the best rum deserves the best presentation.
