Coles Custom Candy Packaging: A New Sweet Packaging Design Series for Australian Supermarket Coles
Private label businesses—such as the “own brand” of Australian supermarket chain Coles—are thriving, currently accounting for approximately one-fifth of all packaged products in Australian supermarkets, according to Nielsen data from 2016. A crucial initiative for Coles’ operations was a comprehensive review of its entire “own brand” confectionery range, including packaging redesign and market positioning. This work aimed to increase consumer awareness of the “own brand” and actively attract consumers who choose Coles’ “own brand” products for their higher quality and better value.
This comprehensive overhaul of the candy and licorice range aimed to elevate the private label’s presence on the shelves. The redesign incorporated a new product grouping system, showcasing clearer information hierarchy and more appealing visual design. The creative solution infused a playful “dare to be different” spirit, imbuing classic charm that transcends age and trends, making it a timeless classic in the category.
Through extensive category research, we found that in addition to competitive pricing and nostalgia, consumers are also making healthier choices, preferring confectionery products with lower sugar and artificial additive content. “Fun expressions” are incorporated throughout the product range to evoke emotional resonance with consumers, and the striking colors make product identification easy. The health-conscious consumer’s desire for sweets prompted a change in the brand messaging hierarchy, with “no artificial colors or flavors” becoming a core brand identifier in this upgrade.
To create a distinctive confectionery series—from assorted licorice, gummy snakes, and jelly beans to various other candies—strategic and design techniques were employed to achieve significant private label sales performance in both physical stores and online channels. The minimalist design gives each candy product a unique personality, with the core element being a simple and lively smiley face motif.
In today’s competitive market, packaging plays a crucial role in attracting customers and enhancing the perceived value of a product. The use of custom lollipop packaging is essential in establishing an emotional connection between the product and the consumer. These designs must not only be visually appealing but also highlight the unique qualities of the product they contain. The success of Coles’ private label is a prime example of effectively utilizing packaging to convey value and quality, aiming to attract health-conscious consumers.
The array of luxurious licorice candy gift boxes displayed on store shelves showcases the product’s uniqueness and the brand’s premium quality. As consumers increasingly seek high-quality products, the visual impact of luxurious packaging elevates the brand’s standing in the minds of potential customers. The impact of a well-designed luxury gift box extends beyond aesthetics; it often prompts emotional purchasing decisions driven by a desire for a premium experience.
Furthermore, attention to detail in exquisite gift packaging design significantly enhances its appeal. Gifts are meaningful, and the packaging should reflect this sentiment. Incorporating personalization and craftsmanship transforms ordinary packaging into cherished keepsakes, allowing consumers to associate positive memories with their shopping experience and thus reinforcing brand loyalty.
With the growing demand for quality, the need for high-end gummy candy packaging continues to rise. This type of packaging assures consumers of the product’s superior quality—from taste to freshness. Well-designed packaging stands out on crowded shelves, helping brands showcase quality and reinforce their premium taste brand image.
Finally, candy packaging design is not only about aesthetics but also practicality. The design must be user-friendly while ensuring the product inside remains intact. Focusing on the user experience in packaging design enhances customer satisfaction and encourages repeat purchases.
In conclusion, as demonstrated by Coles’ recent brand refresh and packaging upgrade, successfully integrating custom lollipop packaging, premium licorice boxes, exquisite gift packaging, high-quality gummy candy packaging, and efficient packaging box design is crucial for businesses striving to thrive in the ever-changing retail landscape. By meticulously designing packaging that resonates with consumers—especially regarding health and quality—brands can cultivate customer loyalty, increase market share, and set new benchmarks in the packaging industry.
The evolution of the confectionery industry demonstrates how packaging strategies can align with broader business objectives, proving that a comprehensive design approach can yield significant advantages for brands like Coles.
