* Grey Goose, the world's top-selling super-premium vodka brand, is the brainchild of the
late Sidney Frank. The owner of an importing business in New Rochelle, NewYork, Frank
first devised the bottle design and name. Only then did he approach a distiller in Cognac,
France, to create the actual vodka.4
* Nestld's worldwide network of packaging teams contribute packaging improvement suggestions
on a quarterly basis. Implemented changes include a plastic lid to make ice cream
containers easier to open; slightly deeper indentations in the flat end of candy wrappers in
Brazil that make them easier to rip open; and deeper notches on single-serve packets of
Nescafd in China. Nestld also asked suppliers to find a type of glue to make the clicking
sound louder whcn consumers snap open a tube of Smarties brand chocolate candies.s
* When GlaxoSmithKline launchedAquafresh tiltimate in Europe, the marketing and design
team wanted to differentiate the brand from category leader Colgate Total. Most tube
toothpaste is sold in cardboard cartons that are stocked horizontally on store shelves. The
team designed the Aquafresh Ultimate tube to stand up vertically. The tubes are distributed
to stores in shelf-ready trays, and the box-free packaging saves hundreds of tons of paper
each year.6
