About Heffron Spirits and Alcohol
Heffron is the packaging design for a rum produced by a Czech distillery. The rum honors the Czechoslovak legions, who fought in Russia between 1914 and 1918 and helped establish the Czechoslovak Republic. Heffron is the name of the last ship that carried the legionnaires from Russia to Europe. The design is inspired by the letters the soldiers sent home during the long journey. The transparent glass bottle holds 500 ml. The label is made of textured cream paper with a letter stamp perforation die cut and local gloss varnish, printed in three colors.

The rum was launched on the Czech market on the occasion of the centenary of Czechoslowak legionnairs return home after a long journey around the world (from Russia via Panama back to Europe).

- Production Technology
- Transparent glass bottle. Label from textured creamy paper with letter stamp perforation die cut and local glossy varnish. Printed by three Pantone colors.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge was to interpret the Czechoslovak legions values in an authentic way, engagingly and with dignity on the rum brand.
- Project Duration
- This project started in July 2018 and was finished in August 2019 in Prague, Czechia.
- Operation Flow
- It is simple spirit bottle – there's no special function to it. The short legionnaires story on the label might be considered as educative.
- Research
- I learned more about the historic context of my country and life destinies of soldiers fighting in the First and mainly also in the Second World War.
- Inspiration
- The long journey home (from Russia, via Panama to Europe) and the letters the legionnaires were sending home, are the inspiration for the concept. The name Heffron is the name of the last ship that carried legionnaires from Russia to Europe.
