Brand Positioning and Package Redesign

Bettering a Better-for-You Bread Package Design

By using a revolutionary plant-based ingredient, Costanzo’s Bakery developed a delicious dinner roll that won’t spike blood sugar levels, making it ideal for consumers seeking a better-for-you option. The problem? When it was initially launched, the packaging relied on “low glycemic” language that was confusing to customers.

Brand Positioning & Initial Concepts

We first established their brand persona and positioning to target consumers desiring tasty food options to help them maintain healthy blood sugar levels. They were the only fresh white rolls packed with wholesome, complex carbs so consumers can enjoy soft, delicious bread without the unhealthy spikes and crashes.

And Costanzo’s Chose…

The creative wordplay with need/knead speaks to the unique blend needed for a healthy lifestyle while the tagline statement incorporates the high taste appeal and immediately connects to the key benefit. Details of the design incorporate the credibility of Costanzo’s (since 1933) and retain the core Costanzo’s red as key brand connector. If you look closely and know your grains, you’ll notice fenugreek and other ingredient illustrations frame the corners to connect with the proprietary, plant-based blend.
