Re-branding project
Creating a proud expression of what makes Bonson unique
Client: Bonson
Bonson is a packaging manufacturer and supplier that has been operating in New Zealand for over 35 years and has been very successful in the Food Services sector. The business has clients across Australasia with offices in two Australian States.
Along their journey, Bonson added to their manufacturing capability by offering clients a great range of packaging options using materials considered to be better for the environment such as sugarcane, paper etc. This division was branded Savpac. The dual named operation (Bonson and Savpac) resulted in the typical challenges of businesses without a cohesive branding structure.
Bonson was keen to ensure that the way they were 'packaging' their own branding was consistent with their strengths and relationships as perceived by their clients. The resulting branding project was an overhaul of their brand architecture, messaging and all visual aspects that communicate what Bonson is admired for...including the solid values that form the foundation of this New Zealand owned family business.
