The Design

About Post Herbum Verpakking

Hele kruiden die in Litouwen werden verbouwd, werden een inspiratiebron voor het maken van een exclusieve verpakking, evenals de wens om het biologische en verfijnde product visueel uit te drukken. De ongebruikelijke en tegelijkertijd eenvoudige vorm van de driehoek maakt het mogelijk om een eenvoudig product in een interessantere verpakking te onthullen. Мilky witte en bruine kleuren duiden op ecologie en natuurlijkheid van kruiden. Slanke illustraties en terughoudendheid in stijl onderstrepen de waarde van kruiden die met de hand worden verzameld. Zacht en nauwkeurig als het kwetsbare product zelf.
