packaging design: pistachio x beer



"packaging design: the perfect pair"
— printed material, 2023. 

Dubbed "The Perfect Pair", pistachios prove to be a delightful match for beer. The idea is to package pistachios in the shape of a beer cup/can.

Considering the social aspect of enjoying beer with pistachios, the envisioned packaging transforms into a bowl for convenient sharing during bonding sessions. To address environmental concerns, the design includes a cover that doubles as a holder, allowing users to discard pistachio shells without the need for an extra plastic bag.

— Ideation sketches.

The central theme aimed to evoke a ceremonial experience, envisioning the packaging as a ritual where one could open the beer and enjoy it alongside pistachios.

— Folding tests. 

The folding is designed so that the faceted sides around the cylindrical package (see fig. 3) achieve a look similar to the French Jelly Glass (see fig. 4), a type of beer glassware.

— Final dieline and graphic.

The text within the logo is manipulated into the form of a pistachio.
