SAXCO
INTERNATIONAL, LLC PROVIDES MAJOR PACKAGING IMPACT FOR LAUNCH OF DJ PAULY
D'S NEW REMIX READY-TO-DRINK PRE-GAME COCKTAIL
World-famous
Jersey
Shore
housemate turned world-class DJ, Pauly D, has launched a new ready-to-drink
cocktail, REMIX, which is aiming to become one of the most successful and
recognized cocktails in the liquor
industry.
A premium vodka-based prepared cocktail, REMIX�s range of original
flavors are named, Oye Mojito, a fresh
combination of juicy peeled lime and muddled mint, a nod to Pauly�s
signature catch phrase, Oye Mojito;
Yeah Yumberry, a one-of-a-kind mix of red berry and raspberry with a hint of
dark berry, a play on Pauly�s ever popular �Yeah Buddy� tag line;
Strawberry Holla-pe�o, an unexpected
blend of ripe strawberry and jalape�o
with a hint of heat, a shout-out to get fans fired up and get the party
started, and Starfruit, a unique mix of starfruit and apple lime, a play on
his own new star power phenomenon.
To help with the all important packaging aspect of the new premium
spirit�s launch, it engaged the services and global resources of Saxco
International, LLC, of
Horsham
,
PA
, long renowned for packaging excellence
in the wine and spirits industry. �Our challenge was to help create an
attractive package with a bold
and colorful eye appeal and handsome shelf
presence that appropriately conveys this exciting new spirit�s
celebrity aura,� explains Rob Belke, Saxco�s vice president of
sales and marketing. �We also had to maintain a careful watch on
the REMIX launch time and budgetary parameters.�
Saxco sourced and supplied a 750 ML flint bottle with a Stelcap
finish from Owens
Illinois
, one of its time-tested and reliable
venders in its worldwide network of sources. A spray powder coating was
applied to deliver a rich frosted look by Serigraphie, of Pointe Claire,
Quebec, Canada, who also silk screened on the attractive four-color
decorations required for each individual flavor. Serigraphie also is a
trusted Saxco vendor. Saxco also sourced and supplied matte black Stelcaps
from Amcor to finish off the beautiful package design.
A fan favorite on MTV�s most iconic series,
Jersey
Shore
, and now with a new spin-off program, Pauley
D Project, which follows his
successful DJ career, Pauley decided to launch REMIX in a 750 ML size with a
suggested retail price of $14.99 to make his Pre-Game Cocktail accessible to
his millions of fans. Pauley has taken his mix-master expertise and
partnered with Tom Bruno, formerly of Sidney Frank Importing Company, Inc.
and David Kanbar, co-founder of Skinny Girl Cocktails, to ensure that his
new REMIX Pre-Game Cocktail has a successful launch and becomes a fan
favorite. The REMIX Pre-Game Cocktail is targeted at male and female
audiences from 21 to 35 years of age. It is 13.9% alcohol by volume and 22.8
proof. It is being introduced in nine major markets throughout the United
States including,
Rhode Island
,
New Jersey
,
Georgia
,
Massachusetts
,

REMIX is the first to brand
America
�s pre-party pastime, pre-gaming. Pre-Gaming as defined by Urban
Dictionary is the activity of drinking before drinking, usually before going
out to a club or party, often the reason for pre-gaming is to get your night
started before arriving at the destination and it often happens at the
house. REMIX is always ready-to-drink and can just be poured over ice.
