Good packaging should create anticipation before the box is even opened.
For Bennett’s, a long-established Melbourne name with a rich history in premium coffee, the opportunity was to create chocolate packaging that felt considered, generous and appropriately premium.
The design needed to do more than simply hold the product. It needed to feel like a gift in its own right, reflecting the quality and craftsmanship associated with the Bennett’s brand while creating a memorable experience from the moment it was received.
Creative Instinct developed the packaging design and visual treatment with a focus on elegance, detail and presentation. Brand elements, typography, colour and layout were carefully considered to create a sophisticated finish while maintaining a clear connection to the established Bennett’s identity.
The physical nature of packaging also means every detail matters. Unlike purely digital communications, customers experience packaging from multiple angles and at close range. The relationship between graphics, materials, print finishes and construction all contribute to how the product and brand are perceived.
The result is a refined piece of food and beverage packaging design that transforms a generous offering into a more complete brand experience, demonstrating how thoughtful packaging can add value long before the product inside is enjoyed.
