Through a packaging scheme for ultimate personalization, Wildfire Collaborative created [rum bottle portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/havana-club-x-martine-rose) of its favorite clients to show appreciation for their business. Instead of taking an opportunity to showcase its own branding, the creative agency chose to visually engage more deeply with its partners in an effort that's much more individualized.

A single face was sketched onto each voluptuous glass container, on top of a clean, white coating that serves as a great canvas. Hand-scrawled typography enhances this customized artistry, labeling each bottle of alcohol with the name of the recipient.

A black ribbon and a [wood-textured box](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hunter-luxury) wrap up these beautiful bottle portrait gifts with elegance. They explore the possibilities of [personalization in packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-barrel-whiskey) that can be applied across industries for more charming branding strategies.
