The Design

About 1045 Coffee Beans Embalagem

O design da embalagem 1045 Coffee captura a elevação da cidade de Calgary com um logotipo em forma de diamante e números 1045 em destaque, simbolizando a icônica paisagem montanhosa da cidade. Linhas de perspectiva evocam sombras de montanhas e campos de café, distanciando-se da imagética tradicional de montanhas. A paleta de cores, inspirada em tons de café, utiliza tons mais escuros para espresso e mais claros para blends de filtro. Embalagens de café pretas tradicionais e etiquetas adesivas premium combinam funcionalidade e elegância, garantindo reconhecimento enquanto refletem o compromisso da marca com qualidade e artesanato.

Production Technology: The 1045 Coffee packaging utilizes classic black coffee bags, providing a sleek and timeless look that preserves freshness. Each blend is distinguished by a carefully designed label, produced as a high-quality sticker for flexibility and easy application. This approach allows for efficient production while maintaining a premium feel. The combination of durable materials and a thoughtfully crafted label ensures both practicality and strong visual appeal on the shelf.
Design Challenge: The creative challenge for 1045 Coffee was to visualize Calgary's elevation in a unique and impactful way, without resorting to the typical mountain imagery that competitors use. The goal was to reflect the city's high-altitude spirit while avoiding cliches. The solution involved designing a diamond-shaped logo featuring bold 1045 numbers that evoke the essence of mountains, complemented by perspective lines that simultaneously suggest the shadows of mountains and coffee fields. This approach captured Calgary's elevation and the coffee's origins in a distinct and original way, ensuring a memorable visual identity.
Research: The development of the 1045 Coffee brand started with a thorough analysis of the market and competitors, examining trends and understanding consumer preferences. The target audience was defined by their behaviors, preferences, and attitudes towards locally sourced, high-quality coffee. This research guided the creation of a unique brand identity and packaging design, ensuring it was both visually engaging and informative.
Inspiration: The visual identity of 1045 Coffee captures the warmth and richness of a perfectly brewed cup. A calm, earthy color palette reflects the deep hues of coffee, emphasizing authenticity and craftsmanship. Each coffee origin features two shades, a darker tone for espresso's bold intensity and a lighter hue for the smooth filter method. This thoughtful design creates a cohesive, elegant look that enhances shelf presence while celebrating the unique character of each coffee variety.
Project Duration: Calgary, Canada, the project began in May and ended in August, 2024
Operation Flow: The 1045 coffee brand, crafted by a local Calgary manufacturer, offers a unique blend that stands out in the market. Its packaging is both convenient and visually appealing, designed to attract the target audience through careful market analysis. Striking a balance between aesthetics and function, the design ensures easy recognition, clear communication of the product's uniqueness, and a strong local identity.
