Graphic design work for the prototype of the Angove 'handy gallon pack' wine cask.

The process for packaging 'cask wine' (box wine) was invented by Thomas Angove of Angove's, a winemaker from Renmark and patented by the company on April 20, 1965. Polyethylene bladders of 1 gallon (4.5 litres) were placed in corrugated boxes for retail sale. Tom Angove patented the 'improved container and pack for liquids' and Angove's became the first company to market the wine cask, sometimes known as the 'bag-in-a-box'. Angoves 'handy gallon pack' wine cask features graphics designed by well-known South Australian designer Wytt Morro.
