Comments

The strength of this handsome little tub lies in its wholesome credibility. Through a clever use of ‘brown paper bag’ aesthetics and deli-style graphics, the designers have created an authentic ‘fresh food’ look for the brand. Coupled with the visible section of the tub that displays the product within, the fresh appeal of this microwave-ready pack is obvious. But it is functional too. Holes in the rounded lid allow steam to escape while in the microwave, and the fibreboard sleeve insulates the pack for easy handling after heating. Flavour variants are clearly marked by a casual splash of colour. Aesthetically superior to its current competition, this honest, open, unadulterated presentation speaks volumes for the brand itself.
