BACKGROUND
With unique flavors and enhanced nutritional benefits, Cedaa Yogurt aims to cater to a discerning audience that values both taste and health. As the brand expands into the premium market, it requires a packaging and label design that reflects the high quality of its product, communicates its benefits, and sets it apart from competitors in a crowded marketplace.
The new line will include variants such as organic, probiotic-rich options, catering to both regular consumers and those with specific dietary preferences. Cedaa Yogurt recognizes the importance of packaging in influencing purchasing decisions, especially for premium food products, and seeks a design that not only catches the eye but also provides key product information in a clear and appealing manner.
THE BRIEF
The goal is to create a new packaging and label design that effectively communicates Cedaa Yogurt’s premium quality, the uniqueness of its flavors, and the health benefits it offers. The packaging must appeal to health-conscious consumers and stand out on store shelves, driving customer engagement and boosting sales.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Visual Appeal: The design must be visually striking and capable of drawing attention amidst competing products on store shelves.
- Informative: Essential product information such as flavor, ingredients, nutritional benefits, and certifications (e.g., organic, probiotic) must be clearly displayed. This ensures consumers understand the product’s value at a glance.
- Brand Consistency: The new design should align with Cedaa Yogurt’s existing brand identity, incorporating recognizable elements like logo and color palette, while introducing modern, fresh visuals that reflect the premium nature of the product.
OUR APPROACH
To develop the packaging design for Cedaa Yogurt, we adopted a systematic and thorough approach:
- Market Research and Audience Insight: We began by conducting extensive market research to gain a deep understanding of current trends in the yogurt market, particularly in the premium and health-conscious segments. Our team analyzed competing brands, identifying gaps and opportunities in the visual presentation of yogurt products. We also gathered consumer insights, studying their preferences in packaging design—what catches their eye, how they respond to health-related claims, and the importance of sustainability. This research provided the foundation for our creative direction, ensuring that the final design would resonate with Cedaa Yogurt’s target market.
- Brand Audit: Next, we performed a detailed audit of Cedaa Yogurt’s existing brand identity to ensure consistency across all touchpoints. This audit included evaluating the logo, color scheme, typography, and existing packaging elements to identify which components should be retained and which could be refined to fit the new premium line. Our goal was to maintain brand recognition while evolving the visual identity to reflect the upscale nature of the product.
- Design Concept Development: Based on the insights from our research and audit, we developed several design concepts that balanced brand consistency with innovation. Our concepts focused on:
-
- Minimalist Elegance: A clean, sleek design to reflect the premium quality of the product, incorporating contemporary typography and a modern color palette.
- Natural and Organic Elements: Visual cues like earthy tones and natural imagery to highlight the health benefits and organic ingredients.
- Flavor Differentiation: Color coding and unique iconography to distinguish between flavors (e.g., tropical fruits, probiotic-rich, or low-fat versions), allowing for easy identification on the shelf.
- Transparency and Health Information: Prominent placement of nutritional benefits and certifications to build trust with health-conscious consumers.
- Sustainability Focus: To appeal to eco-conscious consumers, we integrated sustainability into our design process. The packaging materials selected were eco-friendly, recyclable, and aligned with Cedaa Yogurt’s commitment to reducing environmental impact. We explored options such as biodegradable packaging and labels printed with plant-based inks, ensuring that the packaging is both visually appealing and environmentally responsible.
- Prototyping and Consumer Testing: Once the design concepts were finalized, we created prototypes and conducted consumer testing to gather feedback on the new labels. We tested for visual appeal, clarity of information, and usability. This phase allowed us to refine the design based on real-world consumer responses, ensuring that the final product would meet the needs and preferences of Cedaa Yogurt’s target audience.
- Implementation Plan: Following the testing phase, we developed a detailed implementation plan for Cedaa Yogurt’s packaging redesign. This included coordinating with suppliers, defining production timelines, and managing costs. We ensured that the transition from concept to physical product was seamless, with careful attention to quality control and on-time delivery.

The result was a modern, cohesive label design that not only enhances Cedaa Yogurt’s brand recognition but also effectively communicates its product benefits. The new design achieved:
