In a bid to innovate the biscuit aisle, Arnott’s has collaborated with Boxer & Co. to introduce Treatles, a new line of bite-sized treats. The packaging design, created by Boxer & Co., is aimed at bringing a sense of lightness and playfulness to the brand.

The design for Treatles features three layers that mirror the product’s characteristics: a real chocolate coating, a delicate and crispy inner shell, and a velvety soft centre.

The design makes each flavour easily distinguishable while keeping a cohesive brand identity.

Gwen Blake, managing director of Boxer & Co., described the design as capturing “the essence of fun with a tongue-in-cheek tone,” appealing to both young and old chocolate enthusiasts. 

Drawing inspiration from emerging snack trends, the design architecture ensures that the different flavours are easily distinguishable while maintaining a cohesive brand identity.

This visual identity of Treatles is both playful and modern, reflecting the brand’s goal of offering a more permissive threat option.

Treatles are targeted at consumers seeking frequent indulgence without the heaviness of traditional confectionery. The product taps into the growing bite-sized segment, providing a guilt-free option that prioritises taste and flavour. 

Blake added that Treatles are designed for “those seeking a satisfying sweet craving,” making them perfect for any occasion.

The Senate Economics Committee has rejected the Food Donations Bill that proposed a tax offset for companies donating excess food to food relief agencies rather than dumping it. While the bill had the potential to deliver the equivalent of 100 million meals to food relief organisations, the committee said it had “serious concerns” including the bill’s “generous” tax concessions. Food relief agencies and social welfare organisations have questioned the committee’s decision to reject the bill outright rather than make recommendations for amendments.
