About Baltija Chocolate Collection Primaire functie: Verpakking voor Suikergoed

Baltija is een verpakkingsserie voor een chocoladecollectie die in de Baltische regio wordt verkocht. De naam komt van het Litouwse woord voor de Baltische Zee, die als inspiratie diende voor het ontwerp. Een vuurtoren en een zeegezicht zijn geïllustreerd in een klassieke Victoriaanse stijl, met golvende vormen die de beweging van water suggereren. Er worden geen nationale symbolen gebruikt, zodat de verpakking de hele regio vertegenwoordigt in plaats van één land. Een diepe groenblauwe tint geeft een verfijnde uitstraling. De dozen en enveloppen zijn gemaakt van papier, gedrukt met offset en afgewerkt met matte vernis en koperfolie-details.

Unique Properties
All countries that are bound to baltic sea are unique in their own way. That is why no specific graphic elements were used that would indicate on country or another. Design was thought to be as timeless as possible so classic victorian style illustration were created. This style is full of wavy and dynamic forms that resembles sea movement and volatility. Background contains unique sea scenery together with lighthouse in the foreground connecting it all together.
Dimensions & Packaging
All boxes and envelopes was made from paper, offset printing with matte varnish and copper foil elements.

Design Challenge
Biggest challenge was to find symbol that would be unifying throughout the Baltic region, find the target audience and how the product is consumed. With this criteria in mind big challenge was to pick the right subtle and yet luxury style for the graphics which would also has to be timeless and very different from the competition.
Research
One of the most important task was to determine the consumer of the product. Research revealed that oftentimes it is bought as a souvenir from the baltic region. This gave an insight that it should not be associated with one country and it also should communicate the Baltic sea more than box contents. Appearance is really important part of package which is intended to be the gift. Extreme attentions was given to details as well as overall package aesthetics to trigger positive emotion to the end user.
Inspiration
Confectionery name Baltija came from name of the Baltic Sea in lithuanian. The sea was the main inspiration of this project. It is neighbouring 8 countries, which are all different. Sea is calm and do not carry its own identity as such. That is why the lighthouse was selected as the main symbol of the packaging. Sea also was the inspiration when picking colour. Deep greenish blue colour gave vibrance and luxury feel letting it stand out in the context of confectionery packaging all over the balt
Project Duration
This project started in January 2020 February and finished 2020 May
Operation Flow
Three separate packages were created for this product line. One of the boxes containing more than fifty candies plastic usage was reduced and paper separations were introduced. Fifteen candy box was decorated with uncommon type of cover giving overall packaging more elegance. To extend same visual experience chocolate bar was packed in carton envelope containing the same graphics.
