In 2017, Vitafit, a leading player in Mongolia’s dairy industry, decided to differentiate itself by entering the world of packaged ice-cream, with something that would stand out from its competitors in terms of the type of product, price and marketing concept.

The Mongolian market is dominated, on the one hand, by imported ice-creams by well-known multi-nationals and, on the other, by minor and somewhat confused products made by local producers. In this context, Vitafit decided to introduce a range of ice-creams on sticks and in cones that would bring to mind high-quality Italian gelato, famous all over the world for its craftsmanship and careful selection of the right ingredients. Vitafit wanted to launch its new product range with a more competitive price than imported brands in order to take over a significant market share.

The new range of ice-creams, called “Grazia”, is currently available in the following flavours: Strawberry, Pistachio and Tiramisù with a Caramel topping. PET Engineering was primarily appointed to give the product a visual identity that would match the brand’s strategic objectives. This identity would then be incorporated into all marketing material including, of course, the packaging.

The visual identity of Grazia, with its soft, creamy chocolate heart, uses graphics to express the love that the brand puts into its recipes, all of which are delicious and use high-quality ingredients. These graphics are also instantly clear for the target audience, identified as being women and mothers who buy the product for themselves in a moment of indulgence or for their families.

The packaging puts the logo at the forefront, guaranteeing the quality of the product, together with a real representation of the product itself, immersing the consumer in a sensory experience that gives them a taste of that delicious first bite. The monochromatic background, with its fashionable shades, creates a precious and slightly 3D effect, reflecting the world of fashion - another industry in which Italy is held in high esteem across the world. This reflects the almost sartorial quality of the ingredients chosen and how they are used.

Branding and design agency Biles Hendry has created a range of four blended scotch whiskies to appeal to millennials, in response to a new Creative Challenge on alcohol set by FMCG title The Grocer.

Millennials are driving growth in the spirits sector, with gin experiencing the greatest surge, but blended scotch has failed to capitalise on this trend. Biles Hendry realised that the two greatest challenges that whisky faces are its fusty image and that, for many, it’s an acquired taste.

To millennials, scotch speaks of tradition; it’s what the older generation drinks while appreciating notes developed over time – and that’s a problem for a generation focused on living in the moment. So, the team at Biles Hendry has created a new concept and range of blended scotch whiskies to appeal to this consumer group’s thirst for newness.

Task:
In today's world we often are in search of inspiration and dream to try something new and unusual. That's how we came up with idea to develop a unique chocolate brand with unconventional tastes and creative design and package.

Solution:
We have developed a new brand concept and creative packaging of Jolly Molly chocolate - a product for sophisticated connoisseurs, for those who are open to experiments and ready to try something new and unique in many ways.

Brand story:
“In the distant 1865 in the English city of Bristol there lived a girl named Jolly Molly. She was a very curious and restless inventor. Walking through the forest, she was dreaming of a fairy-tale chocolate country where secrets and adventures were waiting for her at every turn. Her passion and dream to open a secret of eternal happiness inspired her father to found a factory which makes chocolate with unusual tastes to these days.

So this is Jolly Molly — chocolate for amazing girls who cannot sit still and always desire for something unusual.”

Juicy, bright and minimalistic packaging design instantly attracts attention and raises the mood. The colors of packages play the role of indicators that reflect a variety of taste experiences. Each chocolate bar is divided into 30 separate segments, which can be shared with a large group of friends. Large letters on the chocolate slices add to the taste some interesting tactile sensations.

Being convenient and healthy, orange Pu-erh tea has been popular among Chinese young white collars.

Trying to make the product emerge as the special one, we designed this interesting package. You need to break it off for getting the tea as it consists of 7 separate packages. It`s convenient for bringing one every day within one week, and the gradually-changed color of the 7 separate packages represents the change of the color from oranges to tea.

By this unique design, we wish to give hands a brief break during the tense work, which would also bring a relief.

Sniffy is a new line of body mist dedicated for children. As a new brand, their main priority is to introduce themselves as a fun and friendly product to children and parents. For the branding and the packaging of their first line, the challenge is to make their body mist attractive and desirable for children but at the same time also approachable and assuring for parents.

Inspired by perfume ads selling attractive figures of who you can be, our idea brings a little twist to the concept of "spraying an identity". For each product, we created a fun and exciting identity where through it we also integrate character building with its positive and passionate characters. The names chosen were carefully picked to avoid gender limitation on talents, occupations and ambitions.

Packaging Contents: Beer
Packaging Substrate / Materials: Glass bottle
Printing Process: Foil stamping

The creation and development of the marketing line for the ORIGINAL G brand started with the idea, development and possible production of beer bottles (as packaging), along with the standardisation of their visuals: from materials to appearance and branding. From appearance to content – closely connected and professionally created.

The attractive bottle sits well in hands and has a matte white base onto which all the necessary information and visuals are directly printed: the brewery (logo, symbol, brand), name of the beer and the spokesperson of the brand.

Mafia bosses from the Prohibition Era (Capone, Lucky) up to Gotti – a modern day boss from the end of the 20th century - are the spokepeople for each type of beer represented in this application.

As such, the beer is personalized not only in terms of the content of the bottle, but also by its name and flavor. This encourages the potential beerlover to be interested and curious about the hidden flavor of the beer that corresponds to its name: CAPONE (amber), LUCKY (pale ale) and GOTTI (dark).

The different personalities are reinforced by three different strong and fiery colors (RGB – red, green and blue). This differentiates the visuals even more so, making them recognizable even from a distance and completely different from any other group of similar products in terms of design or attitude.

The closed texture packaging (white matte overlay) tempts every beerlover to believe that the enclosed flavor will open and explode with a storyline and an associative sequence will turn the „image“ into a story.

Just like the characters on the bottles, we believe that even the bottle itself will have an additional lifetime after usage (i.e. when empty) that will increase its durability as well as the economic and marketing value of the brand.

We wonder what kind of ghost will be released by opening the bottle… Therefore we can only say: Dial M for… Beer!

* This kind of visual presentation is not for the faint hearted!

What happens to fruit and veg that are the ‘wrong’ shape or size to appear in store? Too often, they go to waste. Rubies in the Rubble rescues these ingredients, sustainably transforming ‘rejects’ into a range of delicious relishes. Their brand identity pays light-hearted homage to these ugly-beautiful, extra-ordinary beginnings. Typography is mixed and matched. Icons happily highlight special ingredients. And patterning pulls the whole riotous patchwork together. While the client ultimately went with a different label direction, we thought this was too good not to share!

Messier 53 (M53) is a boutique hotel with 53 rooms, named after a French astronomer who was the first to compile a catalog of astronomical objects. The main essence of the brand is the spirit of discovery that takes you to a mystic journey through the universe.

The hotel has a strong fundamental concept, which is expressed in its architecture and brand identity. The architecture of the building was the main inception of the branding concept. The construction reminds of something unearthly and looks like a space station. Therefore, the same idea has been implemented in the interior design, as well as the branding visualization.

Following the spirit of exploration and discoveries, the team developed original packaging design with new structures for the hotel kits and amenities. Each item has a customized deep mystic mood from the universe, which has been transformed into structural packaging. The sets of boxes feature shimmering stars, sharp gleaming grids and the beauty of the astronomical objects. The numbers and lines recall some notes from the Messier’s catalog. The design highlights the concept of the project and follows the overall mood of the hotel.

Popcorn Shed is a British based gourmet popcorn company that launched in 2016 with three flavours (Salted Caramel, Rich Chocolate and Pecan Pie). They have relaunched their range, adding four new flavours, bringing their current range to 7 flavours.

Popcorn Shed gave us the task of turning their Chocolate flavour into a more vibrant colour (from brown to a bright purple). They wanted their signature sheds to remain shed-like but to have more shelf presence, so that they were not only appealing to the gourmet popcorn gift market but to jump off shelf in other retailers such as supermarkets and department stores. We made these taller, thinner and brighter

Helping California based Algorithm Coffee Co. percolate through the market.
Algorithm are a pioneering leader in specialty coffee. Sourcing small lot, single origin coffees that are exceptional in flavour and also good for the environment. They use the latest coffee science and brewing technology to source, roast and brew special coffees from all over the globe, ensuring quality by working with coffee farmers who are passionately dedicated to their craft.

Algorithm approached us to design a new packaging style for its range of single- origin coffees. Using their existing roundel design we updated their typographic approach to be bolder, more confident and have a better standout on shelf across a range of new packaging. As the team at Algorithm source their coffee on an ongoing, seasonal basis it was important that the packaging was able reflect this. We created a flexible packaging solution for both retail and wholesale which allows them to consistently and easily update the seasonal ranges on offer.

Inspired by the locations in which they source their coffee beans, we referenced mapping topography, creating a brand pattern which echoes the sinuous lines of the pre-existing logo roundel and references the remote regions where beans are harvested.

To minimise the production impact we created two branded bags for retail (12oz) and wholesale (5lbs). We then created a customisable label template for application to each range. Colours were kept simple yet confident for strong shelf standout. The labels were designed to highlight information such as soil, altitude and harvesting months.

Creating a flexible product range.
Working with packaging suppliers Savor Brands we created a branded design which features the brand pattern on the side panels of the bags whilst allowing the new labels to be printed as required for each range and applied to wrap around the edge for further shelf visibility. The bags are printed in matte white and the product labels are printed on a metallic foil to create a tactile contrast of materials.

Project insights
When initially considering the project we were amazed by the level of knowledge that Algorithm possess regarding the coffee they source, the regions, the altitudes, the soil types etc. We felt it was important to reference this attention to detail in any new packaging. We were inspired by the detail / graphic representation of topographic mapping to create the brand pattern and used the product labels to simply outline the specific information in a clear and concise way.
