Washer basket from Whatman paper
For her, we need a sheet of Whatman paper in A3 format.
Cut out a square from it with a side of 297 mm (the length of the shorter side). We divide each side of the square by three and trace it along these marks, as if we were drawing a lattice for playing tic-tac-toe. Make folds along these lines, with the folds pointing down. Make diagonal folds on the four corner squares, these folds should be facing up.
Now we bring the bent corners to the center and use a needle to collect them on a strong thread. We tighten the thread, tie it, fasten the knot, cut off the excess thread. We decorate the junction of the corners with a ribbon or something else.
The basket is ready. You can put sweets, cookies or other small gifts in it, and decorate the outer sides with applique or drawings.

Cookies are a popular treat. In Ukraine, its consumption has been steadily growing since 2014. This is due to the drop in chocolate sales as prices for it increased. Ukrainians are switching to more economical sweets: semi-chocolate and caramel sweets, pastries, etc.

Packaging is one of the tools to increase product sales. If it has a central idea, humor, a communicative element, or a call to action, the chances of buying a product are increased. Packaging is especially important for new brands that are just entering the market. At the first stage, the consumer does not know anything about your product., his name does not have the authority of a well-known brand. It is the packaging that will become the decisive factor when the consumer chooses a new brand.

You can read more about selling packaging in our article.

In this overview article, we let's look at different examples of cookie packaging design: from the economy segment to exclusive lines. There are several options for product positioning for each category. The design and materials of packages in different price categories differ greatly from each other. We will focus on the main design options and talk about interesting and non-standard solutions from different parts of the world.

Cookie Packaging Design: Simple Solutions

One of the more popular packaging options is flow-pack (flexible packaging)- packaging made of synthetic film, foil, cardboard and paper. It is ideal for medium to large packaged biscuits (200 grams to kilograms). Also in the flow-pack can be individually packed portions of cookies, the main packaging of which is a cardboard or metal box. These include the products of the BelVita brand, for example.

Usually, inexpensive cookies are packed in flow-pack, since this package has a low cost price. We have selected 3 striking examples flexible cookie packaging designs that look stylish and stand out on the shelf.

Lyons cookie packaging design

The Lyons brand produces over 10 types of biscuits with and without fillings. He redesigned it a couple of years ago. Each species received its own primary color. And the unity of the product is emphasized by a blue geometric insert at the top of each package. Lyons' cookie design is very simple. Geometric shapes and a vibrant but not acidic color palette, however, are paired with mouth-watering cookie prints and produce great results. The result is a simple but noticeable package. She attracts attention and arouses interest and the desire to try the product.

Packaging design for cookies "For charging" and Biskids - game motifs in children's products

Two more examples are the Russian brand of cookies "On Charge" and the American Biskids. We have combined them in one block, because the central idea of ​​both brands is activity and cheerfulness. "For charging" - cookies designed for children from 2 to 14 years old and their parents. The designers were tasked with creating a brand that will be able to compete with foreign brands, and will also demonstrate the naturalness of the product and its usefulness.

The Biskids have a similar story. it healthy cookies, no preservatives with a minimum sugar content. To make it more attractive to children, the creators came up with active and mischievous characters for each of the 5 representatives of the line (3 of them in the photo).

Both brands successfully completed the task. One glance at the packages is enough to recharge with the cheerfulness and playfulness with which they are impregnated. So, thanks to the competent design, healthy cookies wrapped in trendy packaging, becomes attractive to children.

Cookie Design: Communicate and Conquer

Another trick that is widely used in food branding is calls to action as an element packaging or even brand names. One of such cases is the Russian biscuits "I Recommend". The positive characterization of the cookie and the motivational appeal are included in the title. There are also positive characteristics on the packaging (“what you need for tea,” for example). For 3 lines, 3 ambassadors were invented-senters: Ilya Petrovich, Iraida Robertovna and Petya Verevkin. All of them, each in their own way, praise cookies, enlivening the brand image in the eyes of consumers.

Jammie Dodgers are biscuits marketed as a quick bite option. That is, all kinds of chocolate and energy bars compete with it. Typically, such products are promoted based on energy recharging to reach new heights. The Jammie Dodgers took a different, less popular approach. The brand idea is based on the unique taste of the products. And the slogan was the phrase "Love from the first bite" (from the first piece). To concentrate on this thought were chosen bright colours and the shape of the hole in the cookie. Instead of the standard circular notch at the center of the Jammie Dodgers is a little heart. The flavor information is confirmed by the "Best Ever Recipe" label (the best recipe ever invented). Well, to satisfy the curiosity of people who take care of their bodies, an infographic about the amount of calories, proteins, fats and carbohydrates was brought to the front side. This customer care is always good for the brand.

Humor in cookie packaging design

Buying confectionery is always associated with inner struggle and self-digging. Usually manufacturers do not focus on this, but try to build the brand image on cozy evenings, a festive atmosphere, romantic themes, etc. Bloomsberry & Co has taken a bold step. They put on the package all those thoughts which each of us calms itself buying junk but tasty food:

  • One more can’t hurt (one more won't hurt);
  • It’ll make me happy (it will make me happy);
  • Tomorrow I'll go to the gym (tomorrow I'll go to the gym).

There is no photo of the product on the package, or comments about its taste. The company logo is placed at the bottom, it is much smaller than the phrase in the center of the package. Sami the boxes are decorated with stylish designs of catchy colors that catch the eye of everyone who sees them. This is how the company emphasizes the status of a high-end biscuit that needs no introduction.

Another option for using irony in design was proposed by the founders of the family-owned confectionery Früute. Witty phrases about cookies and life take center stage in their cookie packaging. For example, “Cookies are proof that life is good”, “Doesn't it work? Eat a cookie "or" A cookie a day, and you don't need a doctor. "

Früute Cookie Packaging Design

Luxury cookie packaging design: create a successful look

Products of the premium and luxury segments dropped very slightly in sales during the 2014 crisis. By 2017, this segment had already recovered from the shock, and the level of sales is almost back to the original mark. This behavior makes this category the most promising for new brands. Premium product design always is different from the low and mid-price segment. First of all - materials and construction... For cookies in this category, the most popular is the use of tin boxes, packages made of thick cardboard, intricate packages of fancy shape.

Honolulu Cookie Company packaging design

Honolulu Cookie Company presented a packaging for its cookies that mimics its shape (pineapple). She is presentable and bright at the same time. It is usually difficult to achieve a combination of these two characteristics. Therefore, the packaging of the Honolulu Cookie Company is doubly remarkable.

Queen City Cookies are gourmet cookies that cannot be overlooked on store shelves. It will strike the eye, even if there are hundreds of other options nearby. The packaging of the series with elephants is incredibly bright. There is both a strong individual story of each member of the line (name, color scheme, content illustration), as well as a common theme. I want to note call at the top of the package. It reads: "Don't leave my friends behind." Usually, motivational phrases about collecting a collection can be found on a series of children's toys. Incorporating such a call into a cookie package is a great idea. Queen City Cookies implemented it perfectly. Below the caption there are illustrations with other elephants and names and rulers. Besides, the company focuses on the naturalness of products... There are notes about this on the packaging.

Another example is the Taiwan Duckie Cookie design. The creators decided use packaging design to educate... In the center - the idea to show in the illustration how rice is grown and how ducks are related to this process. The inside of the box contains a detailed illustration map that tells the story. Well, the cookies themselves are packed in individual packs, which together form one pattern. This is an example of the merger of marketing and science lessons.

Cookie Packaging Design: Watercolor Dreams

Watercolor is a trend in design which has been popular for several years now. Jovial cookie packaging is an illustration of its appropriate use. The basis is white, in the center there are mouth-watering photos of the products. The image is completed by a watercolor insert at the top of the package, which tells about the shape of the cookie. All three elements are simple and well-known to everyone, but the designers managed to combine them into a perfectly sounding trio. There is nothing superfluous in this package, it is - example of good design.
