Have a Nice Can is a packaging design for a handmade canned seafood brand. The range includes an individual sleeve, a gift bag for three cans and gift boxes for six, nine and twelve cans. The gift bag handle uses a rope that recalls a fishing port. The gift boxes combine bright orange for the sun and blue for the sea. Fish illustrations are printed on both sides of the sleeve, so the pattern continues when packs are placed side by side to form a store display. Environmentally friendly certified paper is used, and the cans are left unlabeled so they can be recycled easily.
