Packaging design agency Boxer & Co. brought some clarity and calm to the laundry aisle through a project with a Woolworths private label range.

Boxer & Co's managing director Gwen Blake said the aim was to bring softer tones to an otherwise "loud" part of the supermarket.

"For a category dedicated to cleanliness, there's a surprising amount of visual mess in the laundry aisle," Blake said. 

"Flashes, bold colours and strong words all compete in an attempt to shout the loudest.

"We saw an opportunity to create some clarity, focus and calm amidst that with this new brand, which is exclusive to Woolworths."

The central ‘C’ graphic is a visual shortcut to the brand name, and echoes the shape of a front loader machine.

This also works as a window to the tumbling, cleaning action, with bubbles and fragrance cues cascading out of their contained shape and floating, onto the side and back of pack.

The pack’s background linen texture softens the overall look and reflects the product usage.

Continuing the laundry theme, mandatory symbols appear as clothing labels ‘stitched’ onto the linen pack and a silver treatment makes the logo pop in a nod to its efficacy.

CCEP has completed a $39.7m manufacturing upgrade at its Kewdale facility in WA, installing a high-speed can production line that increases capacity by more than 40% and lifts production speeds to 1500 cans per minute.

Nearly 6 in 10 Aussies in food and beverage manufacturing believe their organisation is becoming less productive, despite continued investment in workplace technology, according to Argon & Co.

Every food, drink, personal care and household product made in Australia starts with an investment decision. A company chooses to replace a production line, automate a process or expand a plant. That choice is now made in a global market for capital, and Australia is struggling to compete. The question is simple. Will the next generation of manufacturing investment come here?
