Creates colorful, brand-building cartons for distributing the new fresh fruit beverages to stores across the state
Only six months after introducing its homegrown beverage line, Gorilla Lemonade started mass production and distribution of its bottled drinks at the beginning of September with the help of cartons created by Unicorr Packaging Group.
Gorilla Lemonade partners Brian Burkett-Thompson and Kristen Threatt launched their fresh fruit-flavored beverages as part of their Eat Up Foundation, a New Haven, CT-based non-profit that hosts community-based charity events to help feed those in need. After seeing sales take off and receiving accolades and endorsements from celebrities and public officials, the partners started getting the lemonade ready for distribution on a much larger scale. Their goal was to turn Gorilla Lemonade into a global phenomenon, with 50 percent of each bottle sold going to the Eat Up Foundation to support its initiatives.
