Sandstrom Partners

Spanish Peaks is one of three exclusive mountain and golf clubs in Big Sky, Montana. We partnered with them to clean up and expand their branding and elevate the overall member experience. From real estate sales materials to restaurant menus, golf maps and scorecards, retail merch and artwork, events and group experiences, wayfinding, interiors, and even the kids’ club and playground—every touchpoint got a thoughtful refresh.

Kobrick Coffee Co. roasting for the famous chefs of New York since 1920.

Samuel Kobrick starting roasting coffee beans at New York’s South Seaport in 1920. Today his descendants are still roasting the finest coffees for the most discerning chefs in the city. We redesigned the identity and packaging paying homage to the white jackets and tablecloths of the fine restaurants.

Revivalist Garden Gin is all natural and sustainably produced using botanicals sourced from around the world and the distillery’s own gardens. The bottle's closure is a garden hose spigot, which opens and closes by turning it. It's made of cast metal and has the weight and feel of an actual spigot.

A satisfying and creative collaboration with Botanery Barn Distillery in gorgeous West Chester County, PA and gin connoisseur Brendan Bartley of Bathtub Gin NYC / LA and Hello Hello Bar & Cafe.

Not your grandpa's grandpa's beer.

Session is a macro-brew from a micro-brewery — built on better ingredients, a pre-Prohibition recipe, and revival of the classic 11-oz stubby bottle. The design successfully differentiated the product in a crowded market, helping it become the fastest-growing craft brand nationwide at its peak.

Affect Vodka packaging was designed to create an illusion of movement. Graphic label patterns reflect through the glass, producing dynamic visuals that shift with perspective—delivering a unique experience both on the shelf and in hand.

St-Germain New Years Party Hats
Instead of a traditional holiday card, Sandstrom Partners created an experience for consumers and the trade to celebrate the New Year with St-Germain. A flat mailer featured die-cut, Parisian themed party hats—playful, unexpected, and instantly memorable. They quickly became a cult favorite for ringing in the New Year. Bonne Année!

The custom Stillhouse 750ml stainless steel can is unique in the world of spirits and the disruptive packaging design avoids the moonshine clichés of jugs and mason jars. It weighs far less and is more portable than glass. (Perfect for tailgating.) It’s unbreakable, and it’s 100% recyclable. It’s even engineered to fit a universal pour spout for the ease of use by bartenders.

Pin Drop Rum is a distinct blend of rums distilled and blended in The Bahamas, and aged 10 years in former bourbon barrels. The colors of the brand relate to the colors of The Bahamian national flag. The package has received appreciation in the country, as it visually relates to the history and culture of the islands. The goddess figure in the crest is actually a portrait of one of the partners in the business.

Mi Campo Tequila celebrates how Mexicans are not looking to “El Norte” to define themselves, but are creating a unique culture, rooted in authentic Mexican heritage, unbound by the constraints of tradition.

The name, Mi Campo (“my field”), honors the pride of farming agave and distilling tequila. The brand design, from packaging to point-of-sale, features Mexican artisans to bring inspirational brand content and authentic storytelling.

Sandstrom commissioned Mexican artist /illustrator Raul Urias, to create a modern assemblage of classic Mexican and tequila themes for the brand's primary image and label illustration. Cocktails were designed by world-renowned mixologist Yamil Arias. The brand looks to other talents driving ideas in food, music, and culture to feature online, in collateral and at events.

The shoulders and neck of the bottle reference a traditional margarita glass (upside-down). ¡Salud!

Timberline Vodka reflects a love of the outdoors, inspired by WPA era lodge and resort, with the second ski lift ever built in the U.S. Sandstrom Partners designed a series of three different canvas labels featuring Timberline Lodge’s weathervane, a vintage skier and hiker. The custom bottle design with its unique shaped neck, embossing and green bubble glass is meant to be used beyond the initial purchase. Timberline's "vodka for the outer class" motto inspires countless expressions and experiences for an outdoor lifestyle.

After reinventing tea with Tazo, Steve Smith came back to Sandstrom Partners with an idea for another tea company - a small specialty brand made with the best tea on the market, blended with total transparency in our hometown of Portland, Oregon.

Sandstrom Partners developed the brand name, identity and brand narrative as well as packaging for their core line of black, herbal and white teas. And with a specialty tea brand comes specialty packaging design opportunities for holiday gifting, unique blends, small batches, collaborations, and curated offerings. We have created tip-top and string tie boxes, tea tins and tea pots. In addition to all this creative possibility, there is never a shortage of tea in our office. Perfect partnership.
