Product Category: Non-Alcoholic Beverage

Product: Crazy Water

Company: Crazy Water Company

Glass Manufacturer: O-I

Bottled since 1881, the new Crazy Water glass package blends the nostalgia of the Crazy Water Days with more modern demands. The packaging is also a little bit crazy without taking away from its medicinal roots. Embossed in the glass is the phrase “Infused by Mother Nature,” which is the marketing difference between Crazy Water, an all-natural mineral water bottled in Texas, and most other bottled waters.

The new glass bottle shape allows for better views of what’s in the jar and makes it easy to tie a bow at the top.
