The Challenge of Packaging Design

Ah, packaging! This wonderful tool has the power to forge a connection between consumers and brands. Whether on shelves or online, there’s a magical moment where the product becomes its own spokesperson, telling the brand’s story with all its persuasive power.

During this brief moment of attraction, packaging draws users into the brand experience. Its design combines creativity, aesthetics, and functionality, all centered on the human experience. Connecting with the target audience — customers as individuals — plays a vital role. The message a package conveys differs greatly depending on whether it’s aimed at a mature audience or a younger demographic.

Today, online shopping is taking an increasingly significant share of the market. Packaging must therefore address the convergence of in-person and virtual shopping experiences, which is just as critical as concerns about ecology and sustainability.

Here are three examples of packaging projects we’ve had the pleasure of working on:

01. Domaine Lafrance

We developed several approaches for the naming, logo, and packaging of Domaine Lafrance’s Apple Whisky. This limited-edition product honors their family heritage, spanning three generations, and embodies a refined spirit designed to awaken the senses.
Our work didn’t stop there — Domaine Lafrance needed a virtual showcase worthy of their exquisite elixirs. We performed a complete website overhaul, with a dual mission to highlight their alcoholic beverages and ongoing events. Active year-round, Domaine Lafrance features an orchard, vineyard, bakery, bistro, sugar shack, and distillery.

02. FitMenu

FitMenu is a healthy meal delivery service available throughout Quebec. Their philosophy? Save time, eat fresh, and most importantly, eat better. Originally catering to fitness enthusiasts, FitMenu sought to broaden its niche audience. They approached us to develop a communication strategy and a sleek, modern brand identity to appeal to young professionals while retaining their loyal fitness clientele.
A user-friendly transactional website was a must for efficiently managing weekly online orders. We also created custom sleeve designs for different meal categories, making freshly cooked dishes easy to identify and distribute.

03. Bio Biscuit

For over 20 years, Bio Biscuit has been crafting baked treats and food for dogs and cats, carefully developed by a team of animal nutrition specialists. With their established brand “Oven Baked Tradition,” they wanted to better position their second product line, “Treat Time.” A festive and fun approach was key for this line of dog treats. We created a new tagline and a vibrant visual identity, breathing new life into the brand. It’s a true second wind for Treat Time!
