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.

Our Top 100 2025 edition of Food & Drink Business magazine is more than the annual flagship Top 100 Report. Industry leaders reflect on the year past and the one ahead, we provide our annual news review, M&A wrap-up, and all the executive moves, and a Roman-inspired sports drink, Posca, is our final Rising Star for 2025.

A blend of salt, red wine vinegar, and water – known as Posca – was the ‘original sports drink’, helping to keep the soldiers of the Roman Empire marching up to 30 kilometres per day. Keira Joyce spoke with Posca Hydrate co-founders, Merrick Watts and Ed Stening, about reviving a 2000-year-old functional beverage for the modern healthy lifestyle.
