The Design

About Granovita Granola Packaging

Granovita is a packaging design for granola. A cardboard box replaces the flexible pouch commonly used for cereal, giving more control over how the product appears on shelves. The rough surface of the cardboard supports the theme of healthy living. Illustrations of fruits and grains describe the taste of each variety. Icons, expressive lettering and bright colors convey a positive message. The cardboard can be composted, so the solution stays environmentally friendly and low in cost. Each box measures 160 by 120 by 40 millimeters.
