Scotland can make it. Limited edition Tunnocks Tea

I was given these limited edition Tunnocks Teacakes for christmas by my friend who was a Clydesider at the commonwealth games.

Apart from my new camera; they could have been the best present ever!

I can't find how to link websites on the iPad- so will just have to copy and paste from the Scotlandcanmakeit website:

In a society where so many material goods surround us surely the best kind of souvenir is one that celebrates the moment but doesn’t clutter up our lives.

Tunnock’s Medals is a box of confectionery medals (one gold, one silver and one bronze) to be awarded to whomever their owner thinks deserves them the most. The ambition is simple: that people will use the medals to celebrate their own achievements and get actively involved in the sporting spirit of the Games. Best of all, the medals are an easily affordable souvenir that everyone can enjoy – and we all know someone who deserves a medal!

Tunnock’s is a company that is well known throughout Scotland and across the world for its famous teacakes and wafers, which are still manufactured in Uddingston to this day. As a brand Tunnock’s confectionery has an appealing iconic status known for its bold packaging and family values, which have kept the business going since 1890.

Working closely with Tunnock’s, the design teams at Chesapeake packaging (makers of Tunnock’s cartons) and Friths (makers of Tunnock’s confectionary foils), the initial proposal was carefully and collaboratively developed. Our collective desire was to generate a design that would sit happily within Tunnock’s own portfolio of products. The design would retain their marque of quality and draw on its wide brand appeal, but it would do so through the creation of a new product in celebration of the Games. By using the existing Tunnock’s brand, the new packaging creates an instantly recognisable but exclusive product.

Tunnock’s Medals encompasses a limited-edition carton housing gold, silver and bronze foil covered teacakes. The consumer can assemble their own medals from the packaging: the carton opens from the top like a presentation box with teacakes sitting on three pop-out medal fitments with ribbons underneath.
