SAXCO INTERNATIONAL ADDS IMPACT TO PACKAGING FOR FRANK-LIN DISTILLERS' NEW BEYOND VODKA

Frank-Lin Distillers of San Jose, Calif., has introduced Beyond Vodka, a new 80-proof vodka, in two versions -- premium and apple-flavor premium.

To add impact to the new premium spirits� vital packaging project, Frank-Lin Distillers engaged Saxco International Inc. of Horsham , Pa. , worldwide packaging specialists for the wine and spirits industry.

Saxco International supplied a clear bottle in 375-mL, 750-mL, 1-L and 1.75-L sizes for the Beyond Vodka premium version from BSN, a German glass maker.  The bottle was organically sprayed a red color, leaving a clear window.  Serigraphie of Montreal, also a long-time Saxco vendor, handled the spraying process for the bottles and also applied the silk-screened labels.  The art for the labels was completed by Frank-Lin�s in-house design staff.

In addition, Saxco provided a black Stelcap with Beyond Vodka lettering printed on from Capalux, a division of Pechiney of France.

For the Beyond Vodka apple-flavored premium vodka, which provides a unique and distinct scent of sweet green apples when opened, Saxco changed the organic spraying process to provide a green color for a 750-mL and 1-L clear bottle.  Serigraphie also handled the organic coating aspect of the project as well as applying the silk-screened labels.  The Stelcap was the same.

�Our new Beyond Vodka is already gaining momentum and creating excitement in the marketplace with discerning vodka lovers -- men and women between the ages of 30 and 55,� states Don Rakel, vice president of sales at Frank-Lin Distillers.  Beyond Vodka is currently being marketed in several states including Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Missouri, Illinois, Washington, Oregon, California, Texas, Nevada, Wyoming and Utah and in Ontario, Canada.  �We�ll be moving it into the European marketplace very shortly,� states Rakel.

�This project provided our company with the opportunity to showcase our skills and experience in the enhancement of an overall packaging process,� states Herbert L. Sachs, president of Saxco International.  �I feel the final result was outstanding for this great new product.�
