Seed Packaging Design

In my quest to apply my branding to different areas of design in order to appease the unit specifications, I have looked at making my own packaging for giving away vegetable seeds at events.  This would be in aid of people growing their own food and living a more healthy lifestyle.

Here is the gallery of my working on the seed packaging:

With the first, I was just seeing how I could apply the colours and branding of the website to different printed materials.  The idea of giving out seeds to guests of gigs and other events has always been one which I’ve thought about a lot.  I thought, though, that we couldn’t just give out any seeds.   If we could get in contact with suppliers, we could apply our own branding to the seeds.  There’d be no need to have a bar code or anything like that on the packaging, as it won’t be getting sold, it would be getting given away.

Here is a standard seed packaging so you can compare:

Generally, seed packaging is pretty boring.  I have tried to modernise it with my own branding and visual identity for Greener Bournemouth.  The packaging I have designed is easily legible, has illustrations rather than photos because illustrations are much easier to position text around wtihout a massive amount of editing.  I can position them wherever I like.    I am not sure where I can get these printed, but it’s something I will look into when I have an event to give them out at.  Also, even though I have only designed the packaging for tomatoes and carrots, it’s incredibly easy to design it for any other fruit or vegetable.

The main concern, which I have been getting with most of the branding material, is that it’s very dark when printed.  I don’t know if that’s just my printer or the colours I have chosen for the identity.  I might have to consider a re-brand at some point.
