CPG Olive Natural Skincare Unveils New “Garden Dreamscape” Package Design

The left panel “is about telling the shopper why this product is great,” Green says. “We restate the product name, link key functionality to each hero ingredient, and make our marketing statement about the product.”

On the right, the cartons lay out the products’ main certifications and sustainability statements, including Natrue natural skincare certification, Zero Carbon certification, and the brand’s GMP/ISO manufacturing standard. Flipping to the back of the carton, the consumer finds functional information including ingredients and directions.

Olive made no changes to its primary or secondary packaging materials or printing. The cartons are paperboard with snap-lock bottoms and foldover lids, supplied by a handful of box suppliers in Asia. All of the brand’s retail cartons, including ink, are fully recyclable, with plans to swap to recycled paperboard and PCR plastics on all products in the future.

The packages are CMYK printed in eight colors, prioritizing “maximum flexibility in our design,” over the “clarity or consistency that comes with PMS,” Green says. “Our design guidelines tell our designers to be bold and imaginative with color, to not just stick to the ‘what the marketing department said.’”

Olive primary packagingOlive Natural SkincareOlive has not yet revealed redesigns for its primary packaging bottles, tubes, and jars, but they are in the works. Green expects the new primary package designs to be ready within about nine months as the brand solves challenges applying the design to new package shapes.

Printing new designs on the curved surfaces of the brand’s primary packaging “can be extremely difficult and requires a designer to effectively work in three dimensions,” Green says. “And, of course, the retail box will always have more space than the bottle, tube, or jar within it. So the design needs to be compacted down. But we love the design, so we look forward to creating some really beautiful new primary packaging.”

Olive Natural Skincare’s products can currently be found in 2,000 Rite Aid Pharmacy stores, 1,000 CVS Pharmacy stores, and online at olivenaturalskincare.com.
