The Flower & The Bee
If you know us at Studio Unbound then you know that we love to create a buzz. That’s exactly what we did with this wine label. We believe that at the root of each brand there is a story to be told, and for this project we used the whole bottle to tell a rather important one - the story of “The Flower & The Bee”
The subtlety of the brand mark ensures the impactful labels take centre stage, but on closer inspection you can see how the ampersand has been beautifully transformed into a minimalist representation of a bee. Clever right?!

The Long Dog Co.
The Long Dog Co. is a family-owned business that produces traditionally made jams and chutneys. The brand name is inspired by a few key members of that family - their dachshunds. Cute right?! We wanted to echo these little guys in the packaging so we opted for squat-like jars to make the contents more accessible, but also to hero the silhouette of a dachshund that wraps all the way around the outside. When two jars are placed together you even get a complete illustration of the dog. You may also have noticed that the ‘o’ in ‘Co’ looks like a dog collar.
We took time to think of how we could optimise this brand and make sure that every aspect of its packaging told a story. Detail oriented approaches like ours help your brand become unforgettable.

Mini Pop!
MINIPOP is the latest addition to Popcorn Shed’s growing portfolio. We love working with these guys because they embrace the unconventional, something we feel strongly about at Studio Unbound.
This popcorn is popped from an ancient grain, and if you haven’t guessed by the name, it’s super small. That’s why we decided to give the product an unapologetic voice and make sure the packaging was loud and proud. This packaging proves that the petit can still pack a punch, and we think it looks pretty cool too.

Avora
We all deserve a bit of a pamper every now and then don’t you think? The problem is, people with sensitive skin usually have to put up with medicinal smelling clinical looking soap which just doesn’t do the job for an evening pamper sesh. We worked with Avora to sort that right out.
We created a natural minimalist look. Check out the elegant little ‘o’ which looks like luxurious bath bubbles. This aloe vera soap smells amazing and contains natural ingredients so you can suds it up in style without worrying about skin irritation. This packaging brings luxurious self-care even to the most sensitive of souls.

A Revolutionary Irish Cream Liqueur, MU
Yes you ‘herd’ it here first. We are bringing Irish Cream Liqueur back and boy has it had a makeover.
We worked with MU to redefine what it means to drink dairy. This new unparalleled design is minimal yet intentional, mirroring the silhouette of a milk churn. The neck features an Irish knot, a toast to the product’s rich heritage. The logo itself is embossed in the centre and the negative space in between the lettering takes the shape of a cow’s head. Didn’t see it? Look again!
With this product our design team made cream liqueur contemporary, tackling the challenges that the dairy industry is currently facing. We created a design that is unlike any other product on the market. It is unignorable.

Popcorn Shed
Popcorn Shed is one of Britain’s fastest growing gourmet popcorn companies. We have the privilege to be their brand partners helping spot opportunities for their brand and launching new products.
Their signature shed packaging is a great example of how unexpected branding can have a big impact on a young business’s growth. What could have been a simple box has proven to work well getting buyers to list them before even trying the product. A simple, but effective solution.
