A CORKING RANGE OF FLAVOURS!
News release
24th November 2011
This year Global Brands has set about rebranding its Corky’s product to position it as the number one flavoured shot range on the market - and glass manufacturer Beatson Clark has played its part by providing a new embossed bottle for the drink.
Innovative drinks company Global Brands began working with Beatson Clark 18 months ago when it moved filling operations for the Corky’s drink to theUK. The company was looking for a flexible supplier that could handle small production runs of only 500,000 bottles per year.
As part of the rebranding Beatson Clark has provided a 500ml white flint bottle with a standard 31.5mm ROPP (Roll On Pilfer Proof) neck finish to replace the previous cork neck.
“At Beatson Clark we take pride in our flexible approach and the fact that we can offer small production runs,” said Sales and Marketing Director Lynn Sidebottom.
“This flexibility makes us the ideal choice for companies launching or trialling new products or rebranding existing products like Corky’s Liqueurs.”
The major overhaul comes almost 10 years after the brand was launched and includes a complete revamp of the Corky’s branding, drinks with a more distinctive taste and the introduction of Limited Edition flavours.
The new bottle retains the eye-catching Corky's name embossed around the shoulder and is designed to provide better stand-out on shelf.
Fiery Ginger is the first of the new special edition flavours, developed in response to growing consumer demand for exciting and unusual new flavours.
The Corky’s range is 15%ABVand flavours include Fiery Ginger, Sour Apple, Sour Cherry, Sour Cola Cube, Blueberry, Strawberries & Cream and White Chocolate.
