Challenge
What needed to change.
Meridian had strong product quality but inconsistent packaging that blended into a crowded premium spirits category.
Approach
How the system was built.
We rebuilt the identity around restraint, tactile contrast, and a label architecture that made the product line feel singular without losing individuality.
The relaunch increased distributor confidence, created a more premium unboxing experience, and gave the team a system for future limited releases.
Project scope
Deliverables shaped into one coherent system.
The project was not treated as isolated assets. The deliverables were designed to work as a single visual shift across launch and rollout.
