Home > Winners > #35761

DESIGN DETAILS

DESIGN NAME:
Insal'Arte

PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Food packaging (Fresh Salad)

INSPIRATION:
The idea was to create a new graphic language for fresh cut salads, an elegant and polished one that could show a playful side by re-creating the alphabet letters giving the opportunity to play with words.

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The real strenght of this packaging is that it is not only just a decoration but it has twofold functions, first of all it shows the product that you are going to buy, then makes its name and its typology easily recognizable (every package shows the initial letter of the product which is inside of it, as for example C for Carote, V for Valerianella etc.) but also it gives the opportunity to the sellers and to the consumer to create phrases and to play with the letters.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
This packaging creates an actual language by associating products, creating words in stores and at home as well. At the same time it is possible for the consumer to associate every letter to a name or an action, for example there is a Cuori line, and it refers to Cuore di Lattuga, Cuore di Riccia (Cuore in italian means heart and it refers to the heart of the product), which can be easily used in adv campaigns, events or social networks as well.

PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:
The project started in Maggio 2014, and was exhibited in Milano Food Week in 16 - 19 Maggio 2014.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
The aim of OrtoRomi with InsalArte is to give the company an identity of excellence, gathering the best of its production in terms of control, selection and warranty. We decided to pursue this aim by simply showing the product, removing all of the usual phrases that are used to describe the product inside of it but by foregrounding the product itself. The consumer’s reaction was positive, as this packaging was perceived refined, fun and friendly thanks to the letter.

CHALLENGE:
Difficulties. On the first place the creation of the letter sculpture with salads due to the physiological deterioration of fresh vegetables during staging and due to the difficulties of finding the ideal structure to support itself keeping at the same time the lightness perception and to enlight the freshness and the genuine quality of the product. Other difficulties at the printing phase, in order to get the desired soft effect of the white fading we turned to rotogravure printing machines.
