Sydney-based design agency Our Revolution has again teamed up with SumoSalad for its latest ready meal product, SumoWell SmartPlate.

Following the launch of SumoWell in January, SumoSalad created SmartPlate as an extension of the range to satisfy consumer demand for efficient meal-time solutions as well as delivering nutritionally balanced food.

The design features a mix of hand drawn images and typography, along with hero, photographic imagery of the product inside across its four variants.

“As we helped SumoWell extend their portfolio into new retail categories, it was important to retain the integrity of the brand purpose and ensure this was brought to life visually through a unifying brand idea,” said Our Revolution creative director Jen Doran.

“It was also important to pragmatically educate consumers on what the ‘SmartPlate’ is and how this is a benefit to their lifestyle and diet. Utilising the packaging design to achieve this was crucial.”

The SumoWell SmartPlate range is available in four flavours – Organic Veg Fritters, Healthier Butterless Chicken Curry, Slow Cooked Grass Fed Beef, and Pesto Chicken – and can be found in IGAs around the country.

Food & Drink Business

Western Australian producer, Brownes Dairy, has been put up for sale according to the Australian Financial Review (AFR), as one of its biggest lenders, China Mengniu Dairy, calls in its $200 million loan. A reduced demand for milk in China and the current positioning of the global market could be driving the decision.

The Central Coast is about to receive a boost to its local food and beverage manufacturing industry, with construction starting on the $17.14 million Food Manufacturing Innovation Hub, funded by the federal government’s National Reconstruction Fund (NFR).

The Australian Industry Group (Ai Group) says Australia is at a “critical crossroads” when it comes to R&D and decades of rhetoric have not delivered material change.
