Sydney-based agency Tweak Design was recently asked to create a new look for a range of cured and air-dried beef strips.

The Biltong Man, a food company based in Sydney, commissioned Tweak to redesign its range from the ground up and position its biltong as a tasty, handcrafted product – the best on the market.

The South African delicacy is growing in popularity in Australia along with the slightly thinner product of beef jerky.

"The existing pack wasn’t resonating well with consumers and key product attributes were not being communicated effectively," a Tweak spokesperson said.

The old packaging looked like this:

In the new design, a wooden chopping board sets the tone at the centre of the design, signifying authenticity and hand craftsmanship:

"The new branding is emblazoned into the board in a woodcut style inspired by the heritage of both the brand and product," the spokesperson said. 

"Whole ingredients and seasoning communicate the flavour profiles, bring appetite appeal, and give a snapshot of the marination process."

The ready-to-eat snack is high in protein, low in fat, gluten-free and preservative-free.

The livestock cycle is about to do something Global AgriTrends' Simon Quilty has never seen before, and the consequences run well past the saleyard. Several of the world’s major cattle producing countries are rebuilding at the same time, Australia is entering its own rebuild, and the sheep flock has already passed its tipping point. For anyone whose raw material is an animal, the next three years are the tight part of the cycle.

Companies developing the next generation of food, ingredients and biomanufacturing now have access to a food-grade pilot-scale precision fermentation facility in Australia.

Synlait Milk has reported a $75.4 million net loss for FY26, but a return to operational stability in the second half delivered a sharp improvement in earnings as the dairy processor continued its turnaround.
