Usage & Attitude Research: Packaging development not only for, but with the consumer!

07. August 2023

Whether it’s a new brand, a new product or new packaging, it doesn’t matter what we develop and design – at the end of the day, we want to convince consumers. The decisive factor is that consumers are satisfied with the result or, even better, absolutely thrilled with it. So it makes sense to involve the target group(s) in the development process.

Clean labeling – a trend that is here to stay

07. June 2023

Naturally healthy: It is becoming increasingly important for modern consumers to eat consciously. Emphatically pure, unmodified products are expressly in, while various additives and ingredients are better left out. But how can this special attitude to life be communicated on the packaging? The clean labeling trend provides the answer. Because here, the less-is-more principle already starts with the design.

Snacking trend in focus – small meals big time

26. April 2023

It wasn’t that long ago that snacks were only used to satisfy sudden cravings and sweet cravings. Things have changed in the meantime.

Visual trends in packaging design: brand-first and character typography

24. January 2023

The brand-first trend in the context of packaging design is about the brand name becoming the core visual element of the packaging. Where there were food shots before, for example, the brand name now simply stands out. Striking is a good keyword, because it leads on to character typography, which is the second aspect of the trend.
