Lord Calvert® Canadian Whisky, which had previously established a partnership with Ducks Unlimited, the world’s leader in wetlands and waterfowl conservation, announced that as part of its continuing partnership it is releasing a second 750ml custom decanter which will be available throughout the United States. The partnership showcases the strong Canadian heritage of Lord Calvert Canadian Whisky and Ducks Unlimited, as well as their passion for the outdoors. Saxco International, LLC, of Horsham, PA world-wide packaging specialists for the wine, spirits, beer and food industries with a vast global resource network was selected again to help turn the all-important packaging concept into reality. It had assisted with the packaging for the first custom decanter which was released in 2016. According to Jason Craig, regional sales representative for Saxco International, “Saxco was able to provide Luxco with a turnkey solution that leveraged its extensive supply chain and creative design process to conceptualize, develop and produce the decanter on time and on budget.”
“Saxco’s packaging design team worked closely with Luxco’s new product development and marketing teams to design the custom hand-painted ceramic decanter of a Yellow Labrador retrieving a duck that is packaged in a beautiful gift box,” states Craig. “The total solution included a variety of different packaging types. The ceramic decanter with a bar top closure was made at a reliable quality overseas supplier. The full color corrugated gift box with a protective thermoform insert and printed corrugated shipping box that the decanter was then packed in was manufactured by two long-time Saxco resource partners located in Indiana and Pennsylvania.” “Each 750ml decanter is hand painted, hand labeled and hand filled with smooth and flavorful Lord Calvert Canadian Whisky,” says Jim Walden, Saxco packaging & printing specialist who also worked on the project with Jason Craig. “Saxco worked tirelessly to make sure the gift box and shipper package would not only protect the decanter, but would provide an amazing user experience with a terrific overall appearance,” notes Walden.
“We are excited to partner with Ducks Unlimited and we support their mission to conserve and restore America’s wetlands,” says Fletcher Buchman, brand manager at Luxco. “We are pleased to be donating a portion of the proceeds from our second limited edition decanters to this organization.” Lord Calvert Canadian Whisky is distilled in the heart of Canada, offering a smooth flavor with a touch of sweetness from a mixture of rye, corn, wheat and barley mash aged for 36 months. The brand which is 80 proof and 40-percent alcohol by volume, celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2016. The suggested retail price for the 750ml decanter and gift box is $99.99 for additional information; visit the web at lordcalvertwhisky website. Also, the decanter and gift box will be available on line without whisky for $65.
