Facially Expressive Liquor Bottles

The BYO Lets You Build Your Own Ridiculous Packaging

— July 28, 2011 — Lifestyle
Why deal with lame product packaging when you can design it yourself with these BYO bottles. The BYO is a liquor bottle that comes with a panel of stickers, allowing users to adorn the face of each bottle with wacky human facial features.

The BYO wine bottles were made as gifts for clients and potential customers of The Creative Method. There was a grand total of 5,000 BYO bottles produced and each one of them came with stickers with attributes based off of The Creative Method's staff members. There's no better combination than building a funny face on a wine bottle while drunk!

Corporations looking to satiate this consumer desire may offer customization options to their wares to increase the intrinsic value of their products.
