Cider and juice producer Orchard Pig is unveiling a new look designed by brand design specialist Blue Marlin. The brand’s identity was redesigned to help the artisan brand move into the mainstream and make it easier for consumers to find the product on the shelf. The new dynamic and charming look, which has been adopted by 16 products of the brand, is rolling out this week.

Aesop, the brand storytelling agency, has created packaging for GSK’s biggest drinks launch for 20 years, Ribena Plus, which goes on sale this week. Its launch signals a new era for the market leading juice drink, with the addition of vitamins and minerals designed to slake consumers’ thirst for added value, functional and healthy products. Ribena Plus Apple & Peach and Blackcurrant Immunity Support contain added vitamins A, C and E, while Apple & Raspberry and Mixed Berries contain added calcium for healthy bones.

In 2007, the then newly launched Bounce Balls were criticized in The Grocer, with the Expert Verdict (Category Controller, Nisa-Today) concluding: “The packaging is nondescript and doesn’t shout out to the consumer… the products will only appeal to the health-conscious. They are also too expensive… this is a niche product… the company will find it difficult to market this outside of health stores.”
