The Design

About Wildheart Organics Aromatherapy Candles

A premium look for an impeccably organic scented soy candle line. The idea was to break into higher-end retailers with a look that would stand up to the quality of the product, to be communicated through the product livery. Material selection and finishes are key to consumers' perceptions, from both an initial impression to a second more considered evaluation. The colours used are derived from the plants and herbs that make each of the fragrances. The illustrations have an ethereal quality, alluding to scent dissipating into the air as a candle burns.

Unique Properties: The agency elevated Wildheart’s branding and product packaging design to reinforce its clean credentials, hero the divine aromas and create a premium lifestyle brand.

Very few candle brands use completely organic ingredients, we captured Wildheart’s point of difference and high quality throughout the packaging, visually and with tactile materials.
Dimensions & Packaging: There were a range of box sizes created. The material specification was uncoated off white stock, with a slight texture. Printed offset in CMYK with spot UV details on illustrations and brand mark. Inners were from white core flute. Labels printed single colour on satin finish self-adhesive stock.

52 SKU's, 5 product ranges
Tags: Candle packaging, Packaging for candles, premium packaging, luxury candle packaging
Production Technology: Printed CMYK on uncoated stock with spot UV details.
Boxes of various sizes with coreflute inners.
Separate label s printed for candle jars.
Design Challenge: The project timing was quite tight.
Research: On a functional note, the brand’s previous boxes weren’t holding up well in shipment. Depot created a packaging solution that was physically sturdy, yet visually delicate. A premium hand feel combines with light colors and ethereal illustrations that allude to the plant-based scents that dissipate into the air as the candle burns. Colors create a visual identity for 52 products across 5 ranges. The effect makes the organic claim legible, while creating a more polished, luxurious experience overall.
Inspiration: Whiff of luxury.

It’s rare among candle brands to insist on all organic ingredients, a point of difference we took to heart when tasked with packaging Wildheart’s precious olfactory experiences. The idea was to break into higher end retailers with a look that would stand up to the rare quality of the product.

We created a packaging solution that was physically sturdy, yet visually delicate. Colors create a visual identity for 52 products across 5 ranges.
Project Duration: Project commenced in July 2018, Sydney Australia.
Project completed in April 2019, Sydney Australia.
Launched in UK in September 2019
