trends in baby food packaging

Baby food belongs to the essentials - it is supplied in special packaging that meets many requirements: the safety of the product and its taste, detailed information about the composition and possible allergic reactions. When developing the design and functionality of packaging, it is important to take into account the interests of the target audience - these are parents and children from the age of one who can already express their reactions and attitudes towards the product. Nikolay Artamonov, founder and creative director of Otlichnosti, considered several approaches to category design.

Snacks

Minimalist bright and light packages with salivary design can be considered a classic approach. Communication is aimed at basic instincts - "Your child will be very tasty." Unusual flavor combinations also stimulate the desire to try the product.

Suitable for consumers of all ages, Applesauce Adventures Organic Applesauce comes in three flavors: Spicy Apple, Straight from the Tree, and Sweet as Apple Pie. Applesauce is packaged in a squeezable bag, which allows you to eat it right away or squeeze it into a separate container.

Healthy products for an anxious audience

Parents are the most anxious target audience. The most important indicator for them is the usefulness of the products that they give to their babies.

Windows and fully transparent packaging detailing the ingredients and how they are processed are used by baby food designers to convey core brand values.

UK startup Keep It Real Baby makes nutritious, clean, organic baby food that is as close to homemade as possible. The Love Mondays packaging design is inspired by the core values of the brand: be honest, stay playful, stay inclusive, and keep inspiring.

Inspired by children's books, the designers hand-created textures and paper-cut illustrations that perfectly fit the idea of fair and fun food.

Horizon is a tribute to farm to fork with the highest quality ingredients. All this is balanced with a very clean and modern branding and color coding to make it stand out on the shelf as much as possible.

Functional bonuses

When the product itself is already useful and tasty, the functional advantages of packaging of a particular brand come into play. Convenient doypacks for feeding outside the home, mini-spoons, tight lids in case the child has not finished eating, as well as kitchen “gadgets” for making mashed potatoes on your own.

Little Spoon first introduced itself to parents as a healthy baby food brand that produces baby food formulas for different ages that prioritize freshness. With subscription and delivery options, parents choose the meal plan that best suits their schedule and their child's needs, as well as fresh, organic baby food once every two weeks.

Little Spoon

The brand has also taken care to include a small ergonomic spoon in each package, as the company believes it is important for children to learn to eat on their own and develop healthy eating habits from an early age.

Baby Garden Glaciers freezer trays from Cardboard Helicopter Product Design allow parents to save time and waste when preparing food.

Baby Garden Glaciers, Cardboard Helicopter Product Design

Each tray comes with six separate baby food containers that parents can store their baby food in advance. On the lids of these capsules, you can make inscriptions with markers - to comply with the shelf life.

Baby food manufacturer Plum Organics solved the problem of feeding children on the road - for this, the company turned to the IDEO agency.

Plum Organics, IDEO

The designers have developed transparent containers - a resealable lid makes it easy for parents to store food between feedings, and the container has a feature that allows them to keep track of the day they opened the package to make sure they don't throw away the unspoiled food food.

The new pack is easy and safe to stack and has a recess in the lid for parents to place a spoon, making feeding neat and hygienic.

Plum Organics, IDEO

Creative for kids and their moms

Today's parents are yesterday's millennials. In addition to the benefits, taste, environmental friendliness and functionality of the packaging, they appreciate the creative approach in design, which is unusual for the category.

The Latin Baby is a Florida-based brand that caters to the needs and preferences of millennial parents. Unlike classic brands that have been on the market for more than a year, the company uses superfood ingredients and decorative packaging.

The Latin Baby

The Latin Baby is designed with young Hispanic customers in mind. The brand can reach out to consumers using ingredients such as calabash, which are traditionally used in Latin American cuisine. The brand also eschews sugar and sweet fruits and opts for zesty spices instead.

Constructors

Startup Raised Real offers a subscription to baby food and a machine for making it. All food is organic and the menu is curated by one of the co-founders, who holds a PhD in nutrition and is a Registered Dietitian.

Raised Real / Behance

This is a pre-portioned meal that does not come pre-mixed. Instead, the company offers a machine that first steams food and then mixes it.

As we have seen from the selection of cases, baby food may be preferred by the target audience not only because of the price category and the compliance of the basic ingredients. Functionality and playfulness, demonstration of product freshness, the need for aesthetics - these tasks are successfully implemented with the help of packaging design.

Before and after: a bright three-room apartment in a typical panel house for a family

Customers and tasks

The owners of this apartment in the P-111M series panel are a family with two daughters aged 16 and 4. The spouses work in the field of finance and media communications, the hostess is fond of photography. It was important for them to allocate separate rooms for each, provide a common area for family recreation and at the same time not resort to global redevelopment. The tasks were to be solved by designers Nadezhda Rakova and Alena Guslits.

Redevelopment

As mentioned above, the owners did not want to do a global redevelopment. Initially, it was a three-room apartment with a separate kitchen, storage room, separate bathroom and bathroom, loggia and mini-balcony.

The number of rooms made it possible to arrange a separate bedroom for each, but there was no longer enough space for a common area. Therefore, the designers decided to visually attach a loggia to the kitchen - for this, the window block was removed and the room was insulated. The battery was not taken out to its area. On the loggia they organized a recreation area, a mini-living room.

Also in the process of redevelopment, they changed the location of the partition between the corridor and the large room, which was taken under the parents' bedroom. This was done so that from the side of the corridor there was an opportunity to enter a built-in wardrobe. In addition, they decided to allocate a separate dressing room in the bedroom, which also required the construction of new partitions.

From the storage room at the entrance, a guest bathroom was made, and the bathroom was combined with a toilet to create a comfortable area for the whole family with a bath, shower, toilet and washing machine.

Finishing

To finish the walls, paintable wallpaper was used: smooth (in the kitchen and children's rooms) and embossed (in the hallway, parents' bedroom). Also wallpaper-panels were pasted in the nurseries: with a fairy tale plot for the youngest daughter and with a picture of a lake in the eldest daughter's room. The color scheme varies depending on the zones, but echoes one way or another among themselves.

In the hallway, a blue coating with a metallic sheen was used along one wall. Royal blue is used as an accent in the master bedroom - this is the cover on the wallpaper at the head of the bed. The moldings on the sides of the headboard are painted in a deeper shade of blue.

The color also appears in the decoration of the small bathroom - painted walls and a plum-colored cabinet behind the toilet are combined with white tiles on the wall and patchwork floor tiles.

The kitchen is made in mint shades with an emphasis on the window opening to the loggia - it was highlighted with mango color. The room of the eldest daughter is also decorated in mint color. It faces the sunny side, so it was a good idea to "cool" the room a little.

The children's room for the youngest daughter is decorated in yellow sandy tones, with a "fabulous" panel adding an accent. According to the authors of the project, this room is not made for growth, as is often the case with children's rooms. Here is the interior that is just relevant for a little girl of preschool age. And if necessary, the later accent panel can be replaced with something more neutral.

The bathroom was decorated with three types of white tiles — smooth background tiles, embossed in the bath area and with gold inserts above the sink, while the shower room and the floor were decorated with wood-like tiles.

On the floor in the living rooms - parquet board. There are tiles in the corridor, in the kitchen and in the bathroom.

Storage systems

Storage thought out in every room. In children's rooms, these are cabinets for things and additional systems - cabinets for books and papers, a toy rack; in the parents' bedroom there is a dressing room and bedside tables for small things. In the hallway there is a wardrobe for outerwear.

The kitchen was made into a corner. The upper cabinets are with mezzanines, which increases the amount of storage. In addition, there is a locker in the dining area - it also hides the communications of the heating system.

In the bathroom, a closet was made above the installation, and in the small bathroom they also managed to plan spacious storage - a pull-out cabinet under the bathtub, a cabinet under the sink, a cabinet above the toilet bowl and niche shelves in the bath and shower areas.

Lighting

The project considered both general, technical lighting scenarios and decorative ones. The general ones are solved with spotlights in different areas and are complemented by ceiling chandeliers of various shapes, depending on the room. Decorative ones are divided into zones - wall sconces in the hallway, nurseries, lounge area, hangings by the beds in the bedroom and the eldest daughter's room, as well as in the bathroom, lighting - the floor in the corridor, the ceiling in the bathroom, etc.
