Pack design vital to food label successstevenkiernan, 1 February 2007Be the first to comment on this article Packaging design could be the crucial factor in the success of new food labelling schemes, according to designers.

You might have to drop design colours to make the printing cost effective.” He also said the traffic lights scheme was “too simplistic”. But Tamara Williams, creative director at Parker Williams Design, praised the traffic light scheme for its simplicity, and said it was “more colourful and more noticeable”. Speak Your Mind |
