# Coaster-Integrated Beer Bottles The Dog and Fox Packaging Cleverly Integrates a Beer Coaster By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2018-04-19 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beer-coaster References: [packagingoftheworld](https://www.packagingoftheworld.com/2018/04/dog-and-fox-first-beer-with-beermat.html) & [punk-you.ru](https://punk-you.ru/) For the release of a limited ale, Punk You Brands created a special bottle for Dog and Fox with a leather label that doubles as a beer coaster. The coaster needed to be able to be flexible enough to fit around the curve of a bottle, but also thick enough to be put to use as an actual drink coaster. The leather drink coaster is affixed to the beer bottle packaging with quick-detachable silicone glue, so that a consumer may remove and reuse the collectible coaster design as needed. While many alcohol manufacturers often go to the trouble of making separate pasteboard drink coasters, this one ensures that the branding is visible and does not rely on a drinking establishment to have the appropriate coaster in stock for customer use. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Coaster-integrated Packaging:** Opportunity for businesses to create packaging that incorporates functional coasters, enhancing both branding and consumer experience. - **Collectible Packaging Design:** Businesses can leverage collectible packaging designs that can be repurposed by consumers, creating a memorable and interactive product experience. - **Brand Visibility Enhancement:** Opportunity for alcohol manufacturers to ensure their branding is visible and not dependent on external drink coasters, enhancing brand recognition. ### Who This Affects Most - **Alcohol Manufacturing:** Alcohol manufacturers can explore innovative packaging solutions to enhance consumer engagement and brand visibility. - **Packaging Design:** Packaging design industry can create functional and interactive packaging solutions that offer unique consumer experiences. - **Collectibles and Memorabilia:** Collectibles industry can collaborate with brands to develop limited edition packaging designs that can be repurposed by consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Conceptual Craft Beer Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sour-glass.md) - [Collectible Beer Can Stickers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beer-can-label.md) - [Color-Changing Beer Labels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coors-bottles.md) - [DIY Whisky Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-whisky-bottle.md) - [Bookish Beer Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faber-faber-beak.md) - [Expressive Beer Packagings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buqui-bichi-brewery.md) - [Seasonal Straw-Made Beer Coolers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beer-bale-cooler.md) - [Tattoo-Covered Beer Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/86-tattoo-limited-edition.md) - [Aquatic Beverage Coasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crab-inspired-coasters.md)
