What's in Store

Big redesigns can come in all sizes. Who would've thought that something as simple as chewing gum could benefit from an updated look? Gone are the days where we can just pick up a simple 10 or 25 pack, grab the "tear here" tab, and rip our way to foil wrapped gum.  Now you'll find an array of packaging styles, varying gum sizes/flavors, and even different ways that these packages work and fold.  Before, gum used to be fully exposed once opened and prone to falling out of the packages once you're at that last handful of pieces, but gum packages nowadays close and even lock shut to conceal the gum and work as a handier carrying case than in the past.

The lama was displayed in-store at a size of 11” x 30”, and was easily placed on a counter top where consumers could clearly see the visuals and interact with the lama. The lama was printed on both sides; therefore, it could be flipped to reveal new graphics with a different messaging.
