I think Mat knows more about packaging design than anyone else I know.

He's not that into the technical aspect of packaging - he probably could tell you what type of card a box is made from, but maybe not how many folds there are in a tetra pack - it's mainly the design, shape, colour and message he loves. And, as such, he always seems to have a new design to share - usually from some obscure brand, tucked away in a distant corner of the world.

So, it made total sense for him to start Best of Packaging - a new Instagram account, where he can share the best of what he finds with everyone. From coffee labels and craft beer cans, to olive oil bottles and chocolate wrappers.

To celebrate the launch of the account - although, it's been going for a little while now - I thought I'd pick one of my favourite designs so far: these beer cans from Noble Rey Brewing Co. over in Dallas, Texas. Because each beer can doesn't have much space to communicate the design, you need to stack two cans to appreciate the full design.

I hope you guys like them too! Head over to Best of Packaging on Instagram and tag you finds with #bestofpackaging. Cheers!

  1. These beer cans are awesome, although you'd always feel like you had to drink two at once. I love this Instagram account too, looking forward to seeing all Matts discoveries.

  7. I am already loving this IG account. My boyfriend regularly visits to local beer shop, Brew Cavern, and the packaging I see from his purchases are just amazing! I even couldn't bring myself to chuck some of them out in the recycling. I have quite a few sitting on our kitchen windowsill and I imagine they are going to be there for ages!
