In recent years, there’s been a general trend towards a more minimalist approach in many areas. Packaging has moved towards clearer brand communications.

Being totally immersed in the journey of a job, design consultancies and clients often judge design work in a rational and analytical manner.

As our gadgets & apps are making it easier for us to communicate, they also make it easier to talk to our homes, the products we buy & the brands who produce them.

While there are many factors that influence how and what consumers buy, for many the process is based on visual appearance of the product’s packaging.

Innovative packaging is an effective strategy that fast-moving consumer goods companies can use to give their brands that all-important competitive edge.
