The Design

About Hopapops Zdrava Grickalica

Projektni zadaci: Imenovanje, stvaranje robne marke i dizajn ambalaže za iskakane sjemenke lopoča, namijenjene američkim potrošačima. Izazov je bio kako osvojiti tržište koje nije nužno čulo za ključni sastojak, sjemenke lopoča. Rješenje, da se usredotočite na viku na policama, jednostavnu hijerarhiju informacija i istaknute vizualne elemente sastojaka. Ilustracija, koja čini i prednju i stražnju stranu pakiranja, govori o proizvodu i varijanti okusa. Neujednačena priroda tipografije marke Hopapops dodaje drskost paketima, nadopunjujući zabavni ton glasa stvoren za marku.

Unique Properties
The founders of this snack startup asked us to name, brand and package their version of popped water lily seeds, targeted at US consumers.

The main challenge was how to grab a market that likely hasn’t even heard of eating the main ingredient, water lily seeds, at all? First up, we chose to focus on shelf shout, simple information hierarchy and strong ingredient visuals.
Dimensions & Packaging
Flow wrap packaging, digitally printed in US. Two pack sizes 1oz and 2.3 oz, printed CMYK. Offset versions printed CMYK, plus matt/spot UV Varnish. Material size 11 inches x 8 inches and 15 inches x 11 inches. 10 SKU's in total.

Production Technology
Pouches produced digitally for initial short production run. Thereafter gravure. CMYK, plus x2 spot colours per pouch with Spot UV gloss
Design Challenge
The timeline! We had to research, name and develop the brand / packaging and all the assets in 4 months ready for the product launch at a major US Trade Show.
Research
This product was relatively unknown so we decided to cover the entire pack with the product. We wanted consumers to understand the product's texture, shape and size immediately. We knew the target audience wanted flavour experiences and wanted to communicate seasoning rather than strong flavours hence the pieces of fruit/vegetable just poking through the puffed seeds.
We developed a fun tone of voice for the brand while singing its health credentials.
Inspiration
The focal point of the packaging is the coloured circle in the middle, which houses the brand mark and all need-to-know info. The uneven nature of the typography lends a cheeky bounce, which complements the Hopapops brand name and fun tone of voice we created. The illustration, which makes up the main part of the packaging, drives home the flavour variant.

A nutritionally dense product, gave reason to fill the entire face of the pack with product, and is a nod to how filling it is.
Project Duration
The projected commenced in March 2019, finished in September 2019. All work was generated in Sydney for a launch in the USA.
Operation Flow
This is a snack brand, the 1.oz version is designed for one while the 2.3 oz is designed as a family or share pack.
