berlin packaging debuts in Wine Paris, an international event for wine and spirits professionals, and presents its latest innovation related to the concept of 'Sculpting'.
This new concept arises from the fusion of aesthetics and functionality, with bottles that stand out not only visually, but also to the touch, giving them a distinct identity and a premium feel. Through specific interventions in shapes and textures, Sculpting enhances packaging already optimized for production, introducing exclusive details without compromising technical performance or extending development timelines.
“At Berlin Packaging, we strive to truly understand our customers and bring their vision to life through tailored packaging solutions. In the wine and spirits sector, this translates into offering packaging that balances economic viability, technical excellence, and strategic value,” explains K.Christian Van de Cauter, Director General of France“Our approach is based on three pillars: tradition, innovation, and sustainability. The solutions we present here perfectly embody this philosophy, taking personalization to the next level and creating genuine value for our partners,” he adds.
All concepts are developed in Studio One ElevenBerlin Packaging's design and innovation center manages every stage of the development process, from the initial concept to technical execution using advanced prototyping technologies, including visual identity and decoration of primary and secondary packaging. This approach allows producers to arrive with a brief and leave with tangible solutions: concrete proposals, sometimes even 3D prototypes ready for evaluation. While this model has become standard in spirits, it is now increasingly adopted in the wine sector as well, offering clients a seamless process from vision to market-ready packaging.
The first tangible expression of “Sculpting” presents the Nocturne bottleA classic in the world of spirits, the Nocturne Sculpted line retains its iconic silhouette while its design has been enhanced with innovative details that refresh its appearance without altering its original dimensions or requiring modifications to the filling lines or secondary packaging. A key element in the development of the Nocturne Sculpted line is the optimization of the glass base. Offered in four visually unique base versions, the bottle is characterized by reduced weight and material usage without compromising strength or quality. Each model can be paired with Vinolok glass stoppers, featuring a matching design and an EVA sealing ring.
'Ribs', chosen by customers such as La Liquoristerie de Provence
Within the "Sculpting" concept, Berlin Packaging reinterprets four iconic bottles from its liqueur range (Alfie, Helium, Essence, and Belleville), introducing surface textures that interact with the existing lines, maintaining their original recognizability and enhancing their character. The new ribbing, available in fine, clean, bold, and oblique versions, is a visual and tactile detail created to amplify the bottle's aesthetic impact without affecting its functionality or compatibility with leading decoration techniques.
A concrete example of this approach in action is The Liquoristerie de ProvenceA historic brand that crafts liqueurs exclusively with natural Provençal ingredients (figs, melons, and local botanicals), distilled using traditional methods, sought to modernize its image and position its versatile offerings within the contemporary cocktail and gastronomy scene. The brand needed packaging that honored its artisanal roots while simultaneously signaling a premium evolution. The Helium Ribs bottle proved to be the ideal solution.
