The Animal Collective is one of Ireland's best-known independent hospitality groups, and each of its venues has its own character. Bonobo, Caribou, Impala, Kodiak and Jackal each needed their own beermat design, reproduced accurately, strong enough for busy bars, and delivered to the right venue in the right numbers.

Original artwork by Irish illustrator Cathy Hogan was reproduced by offset printing on premium 1.4 mm beermat board for strong colour, sharp detail and durability. With volumes over 100,000 beermats, we managed production and packaging design by design, to support efficient distribution to venues across Ireland and consistent quality from the first print to the last.

The beermats became part of each venue's identity and customer experience, not just a promotional item.

Challenge

Each venue has its own character, so each needed its own design. The beermats had to reproduce detailed illustration accurately, hold up in busy bars and arrive at the right venue in the right numbers.

Solution

Original artwork by Irish illustrator Cathy Hogan was reproduced using offset printing on premium 1.4 mm beermat board for strong colour, sharp detail and long-lasting durability.

Production & delivery

With volumes over 100,000 beermats, we managed production and packaging design by design to support efficient distribution to venues across Ireland, with consistent quality from the first print to the last.

Result

The beermats became part of each venue's identity and customer experience, not just a promotional item, and a branding piece worthy of some of Ireland's best-known independent bars.
