The launch of a new muesli brand in a crowded category was a challenge embraced by design team The Spice Agency.

MD Dimity McDonald and creative director Scott Bremner were given the task of launching Green's Food's Seven Sundays brand with packaging that spoke to time-poor consumers who also valued their health and wellbeing.

The premium range of muesli has been developed to include on-trend grains, and Green's chose a white flexo pouch for a fresh look.

The pouch is made from a stark white substrate with a matt finish for premium appeal.

“A pouch retains its structural integrity, as opposed to traditional flow-wrapped bags, and there is also a zip-lock feature,” Bremner said.

In terms of design, the strategy was to create a look that stood out to a consumer with very little time in the day, but who wanted to enjoy time to themselves over breakfast.

“The visual layering with the handpainted watercolours against the white background brings calm to a busy, loud category,” he said.

“For a health and wellbeing category there's way too much communication on packs, so we wanted to keep it simple and refreshing.”

The consumer is able to see the contents through a clear window in the pack.

The messaging is clear and easy to understand, with some visual puns which add some spark to the look.

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.
