Competition

Epigamia, Danone and Chobani were chosen as references. It was observed while Danone had over-all used the colour blue in its packaging, Epigamia and Chobani kept it white and only the lid along with the flavour was highlighted using similar colour palettes. The stark white colour stood out at the same time giving a premium look on shelves.
Cross competition study was also done to acknowledge how to make a product stand out on a shelf.  Key visuals, typography, predominant brand colours all of which was taken into deliberation in order to design packaging solutions for Grekyo.
