Swedish Beauty’s Botanica bronzing lotions Sweet Escape and Green with Envy were introduced in November 2013 in packaging designed by TricorBraun Design & Innovation. The packaging subsequently earned a 2013 American Package Design Award from GDUSA (Graphic Design USA) and a Bronze Award in the Cosmetics & Personal Care category of the 2014 NACD (National Association of Container Distributors) Packaging Awards. Given the brand’s focus on such natural ingredients and bronzing processes, Swedish Beauty wanted the packaging for these unique products to project a natural look. To achieve this, TricorBraun combined a sleek HDPE (high-density polypropylene) bottle with a modern closure design that reflects Swedish Beauty’s natural intention. The design features a flip-top closure sitting atop a long collar with a wood grain finish. The wood decoration provides a direct link to the brand’s natural positioning. The bottle is produced by TricorBraun vendor partner Poly-Tainer Inc. and is labeled with a shrink label carrying graphic designs by Swedish Beauty designer Christiann Cauley and produced by McDowell Label. The neck decoration was produced overseas through TricorBraun International, which also worked closely with the overseas manufacturer to create the neck mold that accommodates the long closure collar.

Other decoration options include color matching, silk screening, hot stamping and metalizing on the cap.
