A series of promotional items for the fictional brand of RedMane and it's limited edition Baijiu celebrating the year of the horse - 2026.
What a fine trade advert is this - for Robinson's of Bristol, as it includes three tipped in labels - one fof the famous Cadbury's Dairy Milk chocolate (in the famous design by Norbert Dutton, the bones of which survived for many decades), one for the ffliliated Fry's company and their 'Crunchie' and one for Duncan's of Edinburgh and their 'Nutty Crisp'. Duncan's were a famous Scots brand before takeover and closure although a more recent attempt to re-invent the brand did take place. Their strapline was "Duncan's - the Scots word for Chocolate".

Two for the price of one here - The Metal Box Company Ltd., an early 20th century merger of various packet and box producers and printers, showing their expertise in not just the production of packaging but also the work of their in-house design studios. These jam jars were designed by P Pickard Jenkins MSIA, FRSA. The "St Martin" brand was owned by Foster Clark Ltd., who although based in Maidstone, Kent has works elsewhere including Ely in Cambridgeshire. Founded in c1890 the company made early 'convenience" foods such as powders, baking goods and jams. The brand is no longer in existence in the UK - the company were taken over in 1965 by Brooke Bond Oxo. Amazingly the successor company still trades - now based in Malta.
The use of aluminium sheet or slugs to form tubes became popular int he mid-20th century before the widespread adoption of plastic for such pacaking. This advert by Northern Aluminium shows a range of tubes formed from their products by the Venesta Company for a range of well-known brands, some of which are still with us today, Colgate toothpaste being one. A range of shaving creams, seldom seen these days, include those by Yardley, Palmolive, Ingram and Shavallo. It would be wise not to mix them up with other products shown such as Le Page glue or Rawlplug plastic wood!
The good old 99 Tea from the Co-op - this packet of loose tea dates from the decimailsation changeover int he UK of 1971 - the price is shown in shillings and pennies as well as new pence. At the time the Co-operative Wholesale Society still had tea blending and packaging plants that for many years were 'Joint" between the English and Scottish CWS.

I've been commissioned to do a custom birthday gift packaging, as a papercraft fish. The deadline was very tight, so I did this in ca. 6-7 hours, incl. drying. I've left a slot open on the top for putting in the presents, concealed from view with the dorsal fins. They loved it.
This catalogue for 1929 showing box tops for chocolates and biscuits was issued by the Leeds colour printers George H Harrison & Sons of the Statue Printing Works. It was issued in two formats, for large and small cartons, and contains numerous stock designs that could be overprinted with a brand and retailers name. The colourways and designs are very 1920s 'chocolate box' in style with little of contemporary graphic design! They show very traditional scenes, Christmas and such, as well as charming 1920s 'flappers' along with a smattering of historical and 'Far Eastern" promise and delights! The prices ranged from 55/- per thousand for designs in Section C, through 65/- in Section B and Section A's designs coming in at 75/-.
The title page is rather old-fashioned in style even for 1929 but is designed to show the technical skill of the company. The Statue Printing Works was situated on Lovett Road, Leeds.

Lightbulb package found in our house in Michigan. The former owner was an Electrician and has all sorts of old Detroit packaging left in his workroom. Awesome!

I just love these two small seed packet size packs of Luxigro rod fertilizer. Manufactured by the County Chemical Co Ltd of Shirley in Birmingham - best known for its tradename of Chemico - the company is still in business although now they specialise in automotive products.
Tequinox: "Tea time just got a little more interesting."
This is a 3x3 inch box for Tequinox NIGHT tea. Tequinox is a lounge and tea bar that offers regular tea during the day and alcoholic recipes at night. This package holds ten black tea and elderflower flavored tea bags. On the side there is a recipe for the Boston Tea Party Martini.
The Tequinox logo is in the shape of a tea leaf in the center and the negative black space on either side of the text in the logo also shows a two-leafed shape that resembles the shape of tea leaves before they are picked.
The various 'trade annuals' of the 1940s and '50s are often stuffed full of fascinating packaging design - nearly all in black and white. In this case, one of the adverts for an advertising agency actually has colour examples of some of J Walter Thompson's work - so here can see some famous names - Horlicks, Rowntree's, Harpic, Lux and George Rowney along with some that have been lost on the way - Wisk and Pin-up for example that are described as 'new brands'. Didn't do so well there lads!
The Rowntree's brands shown include the now world famous 'Polo Mints" - Rowntree's have of course been swallowed by Nestle. The brightly coloured containers with a screw top are for Harpic lavatory cleaner. The "Brand's" brand, seen here on baby food, was for a company best known at the time for its 'Essence of Chicken" - it is now a popular name worldwide - I think mostly used by the Singapore concern of Cerebros, another old British brand.
JWT are one of the world's oldest 'ad agencies' and, at the turn of the 20th century, were amongst the agencies that fostered a modern understanding of the word 'brand'.

New coffee packaging design for Big Water Coffee. Each variety (in this case, Sumatra) will have a unique/custom rubber stamp to be hand applied onto the labels.
From an article on creative photography published in 1931, a very fine photographic composition intended for use in a Crosse & Blackwell advert. C&B is still in existance as a trademark although the old established London company, based int he Soho Square area of the city for many years has long gone - and indeed, the remnants of the old works and offices have recently been demolished for Crossrail works in London. This shows many of the company's food products in tins, bottles and glasses - and the use of very traditional design and typography that was intended to show C&B's roots in the 18th century. Indeed the pickle and piccalilli labels are effectively versions of the company's very earliest labels.

A set of beer labels I made for a fictitious company (the Third Eye Brewery) as part of a SCAD student design project. It was a lot of fun. The label art/names were nods to those ideas and individuals who have challenged historical paradigms.
