To celebrate World Cup, Coca-Cola in Mexico has launched a collection eye catching packaging designs in the form of 24 miniature ‘Mini-Mundialistas’ souvenir bottles. The bottles were launched in conjunction with fellow FIFA sponsor McDonalds, celebrating nations involved in this summer’s tournament as well as Italy, which did not qualify this year. Out of 24 bottles, 21 represent different countries and feature the country’s flag and an emblem. For example, the England’s bottle features a shield emblem with lion and roses as well a star to highlighting the world championship won in 1966. The remaining three bottles are reserved for Coca-Cola design; trophy tour – to commemorate the tour of the FIFA World Cup Trophy; and McDonald’s bottle, which was designed to celebrate Coca-Cola’s partnership with the chain of restaurants sponsoring the tournament.
Coca-Cola have launched a variety of campaigns in other countries like Japan and Austria but the Mexico cans are by far the most eye-catching.
