Case Overview

SMALL-K is a ready-to-drink cocktail brand with a playful personality - a cartoon boy in a yellow suit is the face of every bottle. Built for young social drinkers, the brand's cheerful character and bright palette make it easy to spot in a crowded chiller cabinet. The range launches in four flavour variants, colour-coded from orange through blue, purple and red, with matching neck labels that carry the colour story all the way to the bottle cap.

The Challenge

A new RTD brand had to stand out among colourful competitors while winning trust from first-time buyers. Each of the four flavour variants needed clear colour coding so shoppers could find their flavour at a glance, and the label design had to carry the brand's fun character without looking childish.

Our Solution

KAYU designed and printed the SMALL-K label set: body labels with curved colour bands and matching neck labels for all four flavour variants in the 275ml bottle format. The playful mascot and bold brand type give every bottle a consistent personality, while the colour-coded system makes flavours instantly recognisable. The artwork was engineered for reliable application on frosted bottles, keeping the design sharp from the first production run.
