Bel Gusto is a packaging design for a line of fresh pasta made from durum wheat. The packaging is styled as a postal parcel sent from Italy. Postage stamps, postmarks, hand-drawn illustrations of Italian historical places and an imitation of kraft paper are used. A viewing window allows the buyer to see the pasta inside the box before purchase. Colored stripes of the same saturation and brightness separate the different pasta shapes within the line. The packages are printed on PET film with selective varnish.

- To introduce the product, create a particular brand image, and give it integrity - the designer used a plot illustration - hand-drawn historical places in Italy.
Traditional packaging hides the box's contents, but many buyers want to know what the product looks like on the inside. Therefore, the designer used a viewing window in the package, so the buyer can see the box's contents and be confident in its quality. - Research
- The primary color was an imitation of natural material, namely kraft paper - this is the primary trend of recent times. It emphasized the similarity of the packaging with a postal parcel and created the image of a natural, healthy product.
Color stripes carefully selected by the designer are responsible for the differentiation of the products in the line. To maintain consistency, we used colors of the same saturation and brightness.
We capitalized the typeface part of the design to add value to the brand, and the calligraphic font added premium value. - Inspiration
- The idea for the rebranding of Bel Gusto was to create a package design in a postal parcel sent from Italy. Most people associate postage with distant countries, travel, and souvenirs. The design included the following elements typical for postal items: postage stamps, stamps, hand-drawn illustrations, and kraft paper imitation.
