An Elegant Extension for Russian Standard

Allied Glass Containers has recently developed the range of containers it supplies to the Moscow based Russian Standard Company, with the production of a new proprietary flask for their premium spirit, Russian Standard Vodka.

Designed for production by Allied Glass, the 375ml flasks were inspired by the existing range of containers supplied by the Leeds bottle maker, and therefore use the same shape, inspired by the giant bell in the Kremlin, intricate embossing and Thermalcure glass coating to reflect the premium nature of the product. Phillip Morris, Allied Glass Containers' Sales Manager, says:

"The close partnership we have fostered with the Russian Standard Company enabled us to quickly take the bottles from their initial concepts through to the finished containers. Our CAD/CAM facilities also made it possible for us to visualise the facets of the new flasks, ensuring that we maintained the brands' stylish and distinctive packaging."

The vodka, which is targeted at young professional males, is exported from Russia throughout Europe and to America, and has experienced tremendous growth since its launch, Vadim Chistov New Product Development Manager for the brand, concludes:

"Having previously worked very successfully with Allied Glass Containers, it has been a natural progression to develop this new container with them. The support and technical knowledge offered, giving us reassurance of achieving a premium quality product."
