The Challenge

Searching for a packaging designer, Mayo Hardware came across packaging design agency in Sydney, Percept.

Mayo is an Australian owned company distributing a range of outdoor lifestyle, safety and security products through the retail channel and commercial and industrial channel. BBQ Buddy is an exclusive brand for Bunnings Australia and Bunnings New Zealand.

Packaging design agency, Percept, were engaged as the packaging designer in Sydney to redesign the brand’s product range with the objective of differentiating it from its competitors in a market oversaturated with reds and oranges. The packaging designer, Percept, was to communicate the function of the product and reflect the ‘good-mid price level’ target market.

The Solution

As a professional packaging design agency, Percept, approached this brand refresh brief for the packaging designer with a modern take on the brand’s existing flames. The abstract flame is bold and bursting with energy, and can be immediately tied to the function of the products in a barbecue setting. The strong, masculine typeface selected, helps ground the bold new packaging design, and steers it towards the likes of the primarily male target market.

Packaging designer, Percept, developed a solution that has a strong presence on shelf because of its predominantly yellow colour-way and clearly stands out from the competitor landscape which is inundated with heavy designs that are mostly red and orange with black.

A suite of roundels were also created by the packaging designer, Percept, utilising a new icon style that pairs harmoniously with the flame graphic and typography. These feature on the front-of-pack and provide consumers with the key benefits of each product that can be seen and digested at a glance in a busy retail environment in an effort to aid the purchase decision-making process.
