For a more circular economy. Helping brands and retailers achieve their sustainability objectives and offering consumers clarity and confidence in an eco-friendly packaging choice.
The packaging that’s a collector’s item
Watch and lifestyle brand Fossil has been synonymous with a distinct, modern yet vintage aesthetic since the 1980s, and it has taken full advantage of the branding opportunities offered by steel.

An innovative alternative to bagged coffee beans reports @thedieline
"The design is clever, making me feel like I now have an aversion to bagged beans, mostly because I`m fully aware that a working alternative exists."

Cofounder Matt Cruz of @singleandfat told @thedieline
"I`ve always been attracted to the friction from opposing forces. So when I was thinking about the look for Single & Fat, I started with, `what`s the least predictable way to take this brand?` I ended up with the idea that it should be aesthetically treated as if it`s some high-performance/country club brand."

The `little piece of heaven` cans are a product of Zeus Brigadeira. He first had the idea to celebrate the birthday of São Luís – Maranhão. The prints represent what is most representative on the island of love, the immense diversity of Portuguese tiles, which were brought by Portugal at the time of the colonization of São Luís.
The tiles can be found on Rua da Savera, a street next to Rua do Ribeiro, know as the source of Ribeiro. Rua da savera brings a story because Many of the older residents of Rua da Savera have been there since childhood, carrying stories of how they would play in the street and leave early for school. It is a street where there were no architectural changes of modernity.
Lisbon in Maranhão is recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

“Van Heertum Design has created the brand identity for Joseph&Sons, a herbal company focused on CBD flower.
The discrete packaging doesn`t scream CBD, a presumably intentional decision, as the brand boasts CBD flower one can use for a range of purposes, like using it to make tea. Indeed the visual elements like stamps and torn paper resemble a can of dried tea instead of the canned greens they really are.” via thedieline.com
