Hunter Luxury proudly announces that a trio of its creative packaging projects are shortlisted finalists at the 2025 London Packaging Week Innovation Awards.
Selected from hundreds of entries across a dozen categories, Hunter Luxury’s nominations span three key areas highlighting innovation, craftsmanship, and creative excellence in luxury, premium, and exceptional gifting packaging.
Among the finalists is The Whimsical Watering Can for Hendrick’s Gin, created in collaboration with Boundless Brand Design and shortlisted in the Everyday Drinks category. Housed inside a fully functional vintage-style watering can, this imaginative gift set contains a 70cl bottle of Hendrick’s Original Gin. Designed to blend playful storytelling with practical functionality, it captures the essence of the Hendrick’s brand in a truly unique and engaging format.
The Glenlivet 40 Year Old, a symbol of timeless sophistication and meticulous craftsmanship, has earned a finalist spot in the Luxury Drinks category. The brushed copper-finished cylinder, engraved detailing, and innovative twist-open lid come together in a refined presentation that celebrates the whisky’s rich heritage and enduring prestige.
Completing the hattrick, the limited-edition vanity case for Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk Dreams Come True makeup kit has been shortlisted in the Beauty Accessories category. This beautifully crafted chest features quilted nude-pink PU leather, satin-lined drawers and rose gold detailing. It is a design-led, reusable solution crafted to capture the elegance of the Pillow Talk range while meeting growing consumer demand for premium beauty packaging that offers a meaningful second life beyond its initial use.
Paul Hamilton, Head of Sales and Marketing at Hunter Luxury, reflected on the nominations: “These nominations celebrate the creative passion and technical mastery our team pours into every project. We always say that what we do is beyond making packaging. We’re crafting experiences that engage the senses, spark emotions, and leave lasting impressions. From the whimsical charm of Hendrick’s watering can to the refined elegance of The Glenlivet 40, each design tells a compelling story through artistry and craftsmanship.
“The beauty sector is incredibly important to us, and we’re proud to see our collaboration with Charlotte Tilbury recognised among such strong competition. This vanity case is a prime example of how packaging can elevate a product, not just in form but in function and emotional impact. It validates our belief that great packaging is a powerful vehicle for brand storytelling and deepening consumer connection.”
Looking ahead to the awards ceremony during London Packaging Week in October 2025, Hamilton added: “We congratulate all fellow finalists and look forward to celebrating the spirit of innovation that defines this industry. At Hunter Luxury, we remain committed to pushing boundaries and delivering packaging solutions that captivate, inspire and elevate.”
