New Zealand's Dow Design was asked to promote the quality of Anchor's Greek-style yoghurt and create a fresh new look for the brand.

The design team wanted the yoghurt to jump out on-shelf, but didn't want to take away from Anchor's “national treasure” status in New Zealand.

As Anchor Greek Yoghurt is a new product, the brief was to make the packaging look fresh and appealing.

Real, natural fruit flavour is promoted on-pack, as well as the thick creaminess of true Greek-style yoghurt.

Dow's design team took milky white and added bright artistic watercolours for real fruit rather than "clichéd fruity montages".



There is even a space on-pack to personalise it with a name:

“It goes to show, you can ‘teach an old brand new tricks’ if you make it relevant, rather than slapping it on like a badge,” says Dow.

Dow Design has been a New Zealand design company for more than 21 years.

Food & Drink Business

End Food Waste Australia (EFWA) and Hort Innovation have launched a new research program to tackle the challenges of harvest surplus and losses on-farm – a $2.5 billion opportunity for vegetable growers.

The federal government has confirmed it will not proceed with the Tax Laws Amendment (Incentivising Food Donations to Charitable Organisations) Bill 2024, saying the legislation contains “deficiencies that compromise its policy intent”, even as food insecurity remains at record levels across Australia.

A lot of food and beverage brands look strong when they’re small. They have one product, one pack, one clear idea and then they grow. That’s usually when things start to unravel, not all at once, but quickly enough to matter. The Creative Method founder and creative director, Tony Ibbotson, explains why – and growth is not the problem.
