Single-Piece Pack Raises the Bar for Allende Beer

Cervecería Allende needed a promotional package for one of the most anticipated sports seasons in recent years. The pack had to securely hold four distinct beer varieties—Agave Lager, IPA, Brown Ale and Baltic Porter—along with two complimentary branded glasses, while creating strong visibility in retail and price-club environments. A conventional solution would require separately manufactured dividers and inserts, adding components, assembly movements, storage needs and cost. 

We engineered the carton’s dividers and glass holders directly into the corrugated structure. As the single-piece pack is assembled, die-cut features form the internal separation that prevents the bottles from contacting one another and holds the glasses securely in position. The open structure keeps the products and promotional items visible, while integrated printing reinforces Allende’s brand presence. Producing one piece through printing, laminating and die-cutting also reduces processing steps and eliminates the need to manufacture or source separate inserts.

The finished 4 Pack Allende Beer – 2026 Special Edition combines the outer carton, bottle dividers and glass holders in one intuitive structure.

• Fewer components and assembly steps help Cervecería Allende reduce manual effort and labor costs.
• The single-piece format requires less storage space and simplifies packaging operations.
• Reduced material use, machine time and energy consumption support a more efficient supply chain.
• Made from 100% recycled and recyclable corrugated material, the pack advances material and process efficiency.
• The design earned three honors from the Mexican Packaging Association (AMEE) in the 2026 Envase Estelar competition: an award in the Transit category, the Marketing and Brand Building special award, and the President’s Award for the most outstanding project among all winners.
