Filed under: Good packaging design
A visit at the Anuga food fair in Cologne did not show much new packaging design this year. Some new trends could be reported in terms of food habits, but when it comes to the packaging you had to pay extreme attention to locate the news!
As a matter of fact I only spotted one truly new packaging design in all of the halls. One
Never the less it is a great story so here it comes
The company Kozanis Krocus Products introduced a new range of products based on saffron from the beautiful crocus flower. Unfortunately I only have this rather poor shot from their website, should someone out there get a better picture please let me know.
The saffron only flowers for about 3 weeks during autumn and in that period the hillsides around Kozanis coloured in purple during daytime are very crowded. About 150.000 crocus flowers are required for 500gr. of the final product. So harvesting is very labour intensive.
Only the flower’s dried stigmas are used and taken through a cautious handling during the following months. To really emphasize the delicacy of the product the company has taken the story all the way to the packaging design. Here you are offered a true feeling of luxury. The product is embraced in high gloss transparency and yet protected in its original colours. The packaging is easy to understand and use and offers great attention to the product.
The company even showed a very delicate stand and their products were very nicely presented. Just by reading the impressive story of harvesting you would want to spend these 3 weeks at the Kozani hill-sides. They also offer a herbal tea selection with saffron.

Comment by Dr Naz March 29, 2010 @ 18:05Intesting . Unfortuantely the link to the Greek company is broken. I am serioursly considering importing saffron in bulk from Iran to distrbute in Kuwait and later in the Gulf. I intend to import in bulk and do packing in Kuwait since Iranian packing is not appeling and often old fashioned. How can we coopreate?

looking forward to hearing from you.
thanks and regards
Thank you for getting in touch!
Comment by noer123 January 4, 2011 @ 22:09Well, I think this is too big a question for me to answer!
In general there is no doubt in my mind that everybody is affected by the way we package products. Even my mother in law once reveiled to me that she had bought a pack of coffee merely because of the nice packaging!
A packaging may signal good or poor quality, and if you are conscious about the right choice for the right market you may be able to do a very good business.
Kind regards
Torben
