Problem

Wellingtons needed its recognizable W and flavor colors to work across online discovery, shipping, gifting, and unboxing.

Approach

Use the W as a seal, color to distinguish flavors, and tactile paper and food illustrations to express handmade quality.

Concept outcome

Created a concept spanning five pouch colorways, shipping cartons, sleeves, menus, seals, and reheating cards. The work remains exploratory.

Key decisions

Turn the W into an e-commerce mark

The oversized W becomes a seal, liner pattern, and shipping cue, connecting the pouch to delivery.

Use color to separate product families

Oxblood, bone, mustard, celery, and peach distinguish flavors within one recognizable family.

Make handmade feel systematised

Uncoated paper, drawn food sections, and print texture express craft across packaging formats.

Design the handoff after purchase

Cartons, sleeves, and reheating cards carry the identity through the practical details of delivery.
