Wilsons Dog Food Packaging

Wilsons Dog Food Packaging is an innovative and aesthetically distinctive packaging design solution that exemplifies contemporary approaches to pet food presentation through its striking visual narrative of British landscapes. The design, created by Gary Lawson, employs a sophisticated illustration style that captures the diverse topography of the British Isles, from Scottish highlands to Welsh mountains, rendered in vibrant color palettes and executed with sweeping brush strokes and organic textures. The packaging system, available in 2.5kg and 10kg sizes (192 x 100 x 400mm and 365 x 115 x 710mm respectively), utilizes environmentally responsible water-based inks and flexography printing technology, enhanced by a flood coating of white ink to maximize color vibrancy. The design's technical excellence is evident in its high-definition printing and tactile matt varnish finish, while practical considerations are addressed through the integration of resealable zips for product freshness. The packaging represents a significant departure from traditional pet food presentation, replacing conventional multi-layered paper sacks with lightweight foil-fresh bags, thereby extending product lifespan and reducing waste. This innovative approach to pet food packaging, which earned a Bronze A' Design Award in the Packaging Design category, demonstrates a harmonious balance between functional efficiency and aesthetic appeal, while effectively communicating brand values of quality, modernity, and environmental consciousness through its distinctive visual language and material choices.
