Back in spring, Streng Growers asked us to develop the perfect pot cover for their stunning allium plants. Our brief was to create a design that works as more than just packaging: The new pot covers needed to immediately grab the customer’s attention, highlight the unique qualities of the plant and fulfil a functional role in the sales process, too.

A creative and considered design process

Full of enthusiasm for this exciting task, we started the design process with a clear vision in mind: We wanted to create a unique and colourful product that would present the allium in the very best light. The design process was creative and considered, with a focus on the following aspects:

· The plant central: The allium needed to feature prominently, with natural imagery of the plant on the pot cover.

· Informative icons: We used easy-to-understand, modern icons as a visual representation of the specific features of the plant.

· Functional design: The tall rear wall of the pot cover grabs the customer’s attention, which makes it stand out on the shelves.

Conclusion

The result of this process was a full line of pot covers that combines a modern aesthetic with added sales value. The colourful, playful design of the pot cover adds appeal when the plant isn’t flowering, striking the perfect balance between creativity and functionality!
