The Lab maintained a simple and approachable approach to the packaging of everyday baked goods, employing kraft material with a touch of personality introduced through vibrant colours, illustrations, and copy to keep things exciting, prioritising personality and context over rigid uniformity. Additionally, The Lab implemented a customisable stamping system for product cards, ensuring adaptability as Bakes continues to test and develop new products. Taking inspiration from Bakes' diverse range of products and ingredients, The Lab crafted a novel illustration system for packaging used for special occasions, with each bag and box designed to be gift-worthy.
