Project scope:

Packaging design, brand refresh

Bringing nutrient-dense traditional wholefoods back to the modern table for vibrant health and longevity

Objective & goals

The main challenge and project brief was to create a cohesive, recognisable rebrand for Star Anise's entire product suite. Soulla wanted her products to stand out proudly in stores and deliver visual impact and brand recognition to her customers.

The new packaging needed to feel fresh, contemporary, bright, friendly and premium whilst allowing for flexibility and adaptability to work with different layouts and varying amounts of information on the packaging.

Strategy & results

To allow for flexibility in the packaging, we designed a structured layout that could hold the information architecture of each product and range. The structure could be changed and altered depending on the product and the size of the label.

We opted for a bold, warm palette to create differentiation and a distinctive market positioning for Star Anise. We blended contemporary minimalism with the traditional typewriter typeface that Star Anise featured heavily on their products. The typeface references the traditional cooking methods that Soulla and her team use in the recipes.
