December 11, 2015Rankin Cork Presentation Case
The exquisite Rankin cork presentation case, conceived by Ziggurat Brands and engineered by Berry Place, was designed to increase engagement of personal sales presentations, demonstrating Rankin’s variety of cork systems and packaging closure products.
Built upon a machined aluminium chassis, each custom foam-lined tray revolves open, revealing subsequent groups of cork components. These can then be combined into numerous assembled closures and presented on cork inlayed mounts on the top of the case for clients to explore in detail.
This is a truly unique bespoke item, tailored to convey the Rankin brand through use of sensitive materials and colour. The curiously shaped veneered pippy oak case is accented by custom blue-dyed debossed leather and cream stitching to the clasps and retractable handle, with the prominent Rankin logo engraved and infilled in blue enamel.
The entire unit is protected in its own custom made flight case for transporting to demonstrations around the world, which also accommodates Two 'leave-behind’ packs, each consisting of three complete corks.
