Create a new memorable brand for Penny market in the canned fruits and vegetables category.

Gustopan

Client: Penny Romania

Brand: Gustopan

Project: Retailer’s private label packaging & brand design

The Brief:

Penny market is the leading discounter retailer in Europe.

As a part of their private label strategy, Penny hired Ampro to develop Gustopan, their bread category brand.

The Solution:

The category audit revealed the fact that consumers are buying bread on a “auto-pilot” mode and there are two crucial elements that influence the acquisition: the assortment color coding and the pack transparency.

Having this in mind, we developed an assortment color-oriented pack, combined with a generous transparency area to show the product inside. For a trustful and yet modern look & feel, the visual territory is based on reinterpreted bread-related elements: the mill and the oven.

After identifying the strong brand cues on the pack, the strategic approach was to improve their size and positioning. To make the packaging more children friendly, we used images with playful sandwiches.

Danone – Pofta de gustare

Client: Danone Romania

Brand: Danone Pofta de gustare

Project: Packaging design

The Brief:

Danone is one of the leaders in dairy products on the Romanian market.

Ampro’s mission was to create a new range of yogurt based snacks, under the Danone master brand.

The Solution:

Yogurt and cereals are considered perfect for breakfast, but in fact this is a snack that can be enjoyed at any time. We wanted to highlight the fact that is a healthy snack, but also  the convenience to have it at any time of the day. Following the strategy, we had the benefits clearly stated on the front of pack. We cleverly integrated the product shot in the structural design, thus presenting the product in a truthful, yet tasty way.

Danone Smantana

Client: Danone Romania

Brand: Danone

Project: Packaging design

The Brief:

Danone, one of the world’s leaders in dairy products, commissioned Ampro to redesign the Romanian sour cream packaging with the main objective to reposition the product as “the help in the kitchen”.

The Solution:

The visual audit revealed more than 8 perceived elements on the front of the pack. So, the design objective was to significantly lower the number of perceived elements by smartly combining them: central product shot, with the product name and descriptor written on it and the Danone logo on top.

By reducing the number of perceived elements on the front of the pack, the shelf impact increased dramatically and the pack sent its message to the consumer in a more efficient way.

The Solution:

The ice cream mountains! This was the creative idea that was extracted right from  main message of Prodlacta: “Milk from the mountains”.

So, based on the fact that the ice cream is made with “milk from the mountains”, the visual interpretation of the ice cream mountains ensured taste appeal and trial, and the dark blue color ensured shelf impact.

 

Win Win bottle

Client: Ampro

Brand: Ampro

Project: Self-promo packaging design

The Brief:

Let’s make a self promo gift that says exactly who Ampro is: The outside the box branding agency focused on uplifting results!

The Creative Idea:

When everybody designs one-neck bottles, we created a two-neck one!

The big idea came from the very essence of Ampro: Our business is your business. And this is how we designed a bottle with two necks: one for us, and one for our client to symbolize the win-win partnership.

The win-win bottle has two necks covered by two glasses: on the first one it is written “OUR BUSINESS” and on the other one: “YOUR BUSINESS”, because, as a client, you put a little bit of your business into our business, and in the end you will enjoy the great wine inside.
