The Design

About Sinten Koffieverpakking

De uitdaging van dit verpakkingsontwerp was om op de verpakking te laten zien waar Sinten Coffee Roastery trots op is: het bieden van de frisste smaak en het aroma van vers gebrande koffiebonen aan klanten. Om de merkboodschap naadloos te integreren in de visuele identiteit, vond de ontwerper inspiratie in de natuurwetten door middel van analyse en deconstructie. De perfecte verhoudingen die optimaal gebruikmaken van premium koffie worden gepresenteerd met lijnen, waardoor het visueel aantrekkelijker wordt.

Production Technology: One color printing. Material: Moisture-proof zipper bag and paper
Design Challenge: The key creative challenge is to catch consumers’ first attention on the package design from an overwhelming coffee brands. The overall design is based on a minimalism creative approach by applying a clean graphical pattern with an eye-catching orange colour tone which is not often used for a coffee brand.
Research: The new packaging design is to create an unique personality in the market and make the brand looks different from others. Apart from the coffee bean quality, it is also very important for consumers to project a quality of life and an attitude of lifestyle.
Inspiration: The key image is inspired by the essence of a golden proportion of brewing the best and freshest flavour of coffee that shared by the brand owner.
In the packaging design, the visual embodies such a golden proportion (i.e. 60% green bean quality, 30% roasting technique and 10% brewing craft) in a rhythmic graphic illustration. Each main visual is being shown in different coffee or brewing tools which closely associate with the product itself.
Project Duration: The project duration is 2 months and is designed in Taipei.
Operation Flow: In terms of colour usage, a vibrant orange colour is selected because of its vitality and the warm vibe/sunny weather that brought by the Kaohsiung city.
As for the overall execution, different coffee devices (e.g. a coffee cup are used on the Drip Coffee packaging) are featured in the key visuals and they are all presented with the graphical pattern with stripes in order to maintain the image consistency in the whole series.
