Ollie's Honey Company
The designer Ollie Langridge, after having spent years helping companies in the creation of brands and packaging, decided to become the customer himself by creating a new honey brand and dedicating himself to the design of the creative packaging for honey of his company " Ollie's Honey Company". Having fed up with the traditional choices, Ollie decided to forgo the classic honey label with drawn bees or hives. From this intent comes a line of unconventional and very creative honey labels. In fact, he decided to be inspired by the experience that all new beekeepers have, that is, being surrounded by a swarm of bees and the usual buzz that distinguishes it (here is the explanation of the B on the label).
This was joined by his great passion for typography. In fact, the designer chose to select a series of wooden typefaces in collaboration with a local printer and he used them to print some beautiful fonts that were scanned and reproduced on the label itself. His goal was to give a rustic, handmade and unique look to the product. For this reason, the designer has chosen to create a different label every year.

Foodscross Honey
For this Greek honey with a high concentration of thyme pollen granules, the Foodcross company has chosen a very interesting creative packaging. An ecological and at the same time limited edition package was designed for this very rare and natural product. Each package is in fact numbered and signed. The elongated jar covered is covered on the top with brand identity elements and relevant information, in a way that allows the customer to clearly see the specifications and package number even when the top is removed. The chromatic choice falls on colors such as black, white and red that recall a pharmaceutical / cosmetic language and give the packaging an elegant and unique appearance.

The Botanic
The Botanic is a natural raw honey that has been packaged in a very special jar. The hexagonal shape is surmounted by a handmade cap made entirely of lime wood, a plant from which part of the honey is collected. To further embellish this creative packaging for honey is undoubtedly the label that sees a multi-level debossing, copper foil details that stand out against the dark green background and a die-cut in a customized shape. The label and the seal are in fact united in a single solution.
Creative Trade Mark's ambition was to create The Botanic raw honey product labels and packaging that reflected the purity and natural integrity of the product.

HoneyGreen+
Innovation by nature is an undoubtedly futuristic project that saw the HoneyGreen + company and the Valencian design studio CuldeSac Custom as protagonists.
The creative team of CuldeSac Custom has based its work on the design of the product packaging, born from the analysis of the relationship between the customer and honey and the way they interact. From this comes a real capsule that highlights the different shades of the various types of honey. It consists of two methacrylate blocks, internally sealed and closed with a visible screw that highlights the concept of hermetic closure. Each package is filled to 90% of its capacity, thus allowing the creation of an air bubble which, through the manipulation of the customer, allows to enhance the properties of honey such as density, color and transparency.
