The Design

About Nudus Snack Food

The packaging for start-up company shows off these healthy fruit and vegetable chips bare-naked goodness philosophy and playful humor. Their point of difference is that they are made from fruit and vegetable slices, air-dried, with nothing added whatsoever – hence the 'bare-naked' concept. Although black is a bold and unconventional choice for the healthy snack market, the agency chose this to show the product's vibrancy and give it extra shelf shout. The photography captures the product before and after air-drying illustrating the fruit is as good as nature intended.

Production Technology
The packaging is printed on rewind, using CMYK plus two spot colours per pack. The brand mark and image are finished with a spot UV gloss while the remaining material has a matt finish.
Design Challenge
Production is usually the challenge and this project was no different. Managing the process and the technical constraints was hard but we got a good result.
Research
It was important to tell the story as it is, pure and simple, to move away from the hand-drawn look & cute illustrations and instead present the product in a classical way. Our research took us to look at the art of still life and the essence of the fruit/vegetables as objects of beauty. The 'natural' side came in the simple photography, a single beautiful piece of nature just as it appears. It was important to retain the fruit/vegetable shapes, by using slices both fresh and dried. Not only that, the image gently tells the story of picked, sliced and dried in a very simple way, with nothing added.
Inspiration
Inspired by the still life paintings, we looked to create a range of product where the fruit and vegetables appeared just as nature had intended. The stark black background allows the photography to really jump off pack.
Project Duration
From concept through to finished art: May 2018-December 2018
Launched in to market March 2019
Operation Flow
This packaging targets those who are genuinely looking to eat an unadulterated snack. The tone of voice is playful to appeal to the slight tongue in cheek nature of the brand name. Everything about the product packaging supports its clean credentials. We were determined to create packaging that was clean and simple, just like the product.
