Love of detail

Melitta Manufaktur Bremen, founded in 2020, roasts green coffees from small plantations and cooperatives. Traditional craftsmanship, high quality and a passion for select coffee varieties characterise the new Melitta brand. HAJOK Design developed a packaging design that communicates the origin and individuality of each individual product by applying a premium look with great attention to detail. A strong, unifying design element guarantees a high level of recognition across the whole range.

“The highly aesthetic touch of neon colour creates a real wow effect in contrast to the otherwise rather reserved-looking world of high-quality coffees. In addition, the colour creates a very effective visual element that unifies the different product lines.”

Storytelling

Each regional variety tells its own unique story with animal illustrations and geographical coordinates of the countries of origin. The intense, deep colours and the breaks in the font used in the variants' names are unusual and very self-confident. The 500g packs feature soft colour hues and a minimalist rendition of a coffee plant.

Head of Product Management Melitta coffee division

“It was important for us that the packaging reflects the quality of our specialty coffees. At the same time, the product concept with its various facets had to be conveyed in the best possible way. Each of our coffees has its own character and is made by hand in our roasting house with a great deal of love and dedication. This passion and the uniqueness of each product had to be visible on-pack. Clearly and comprehensibly integrating information relevant to the target group was also essential. The result is a fun design that succeeds in every respect – we are really looking forward to seeing it on the supermarket shelf very soon.”
