Packaging Design
We partnered with Wise Snacks to redesign the packaging for their Golden Potato line, incorporating the evolved version of their historical brand mascot Peppy. The challenge was to integrate this refreshed character into the packaging design in a way that felt purposeful and seamless—not simply added as an afterthought. Our goal was to maintain the brand’s existing visual DNA—particularly its iconic color system and flavor distinctions—while giving Peppy a more active, visible role.

Rather than placing Peppy arbitrarily, we positioned him holding a bowl of potatoes, reinforcing both the product and the mascot as central elements of the design. This placement allowed Peppy to play an active role in the story told by the pack, rather than functioning as a decorative addition.
We also took this opportunity to revisit the brand architecture. We clarified the segmentation between the Golden Potato flavor range and the Original line, which includes regular, slightly salted, and unsalted versions. For the Original line, we developed a unifying color strategy based on light blue tones—using darker shades for higher salt content and lighter tones for unsalted—to enhance navigation and shelf clarity.
At Imaginity, we've perfected a workflow, based on our extensive experience as a design agency, to deliver the most innovative and effective design solutions. The invaluable hand-sketching stage is fundamental to this process.
Brand architecture: A before and after that organizes, hierarchizes and boosts the brand architecture we organized the brand architecture by differentiating the flavor line and the original line (with its unsalted and non-salted versions).
We worked on the original line, which includes the regular version, the slightly salted one and the unsalted one. In this one we revised the architecture to unify the versions with the lowest sodium content. We chose the light blue color as the color that crosses this line, in different shades, the darkest one being with more salt and the lightest one being unsalted.
