BrandOpus have created a new brand identity and packaging design for Pipers Crisps Co. The Lincolnshire based company approached BrandOpus looking to reinforce the perception of Pipers as the tastiest crisp brand in Britain by discovering what makes the brand unique, allowing Pipers to own the ‘out of home’ crisp market. Pipers pride themselves on the artisan, handmade crisps that they have been supplying the most discerning outlets with for the past eight years. Pipers wanted to underline their passion for making crisps, and tasked BrandOpus to develop a bold and assertive identity and pack design which reflects the honest, straightforward ideals of the company.
