When Corona launched their new citrus-flavored beer, they wanted a promotional item that would turn heads—and our Model Shop delivered! We crafted a koozie that not only looked like a real orange but also replicated the peeling sensation. Working their magic, our Model Shop meticulously molded, casted, and painted each piece to perfection. The result? A limited run of 35 koozies that made their way to top social media influencers, generating millions of impressions for the brand. Interested in learning more about what our Model Shop can do?
