The French egg producer Earl de la Belle Etoile has been producing eggs in the Brittany region of France since 2016. The dazzling name means nothing less than the Earl of the Beautiful Star.
When they approached us with an idea for a new organic egg brand, they wanted to incorporate a star in their label design. They showed us a coloured pencil sketch and we immediately got the picture! Then they opted for Hartmann’s imagic2® carton for 6 eggs and we got cracking.
The customer was very clear what he wanted. So our challenge was to create a clear connection between his new quality product, the brand name and the area in which it’s produced.
Keeping as close as possible to the original illustrative style, we produced an eye-catching pack design that incorporated all the elements that were important to the client:
“We wanted a distinctive egg box and label design to help us stand out on the shelves. Hartmann got it straightaway and communication with the team was simple, fast and efficient.”
