Some of Waterpik’s packaging had become copy-heavy and hard to navigate, with major messages being lost. The packaging needed to be updated to make key information quickly accessible to the viewer, while retaining the existing packages’ overall look and feel.
By simplifying graphic treatments, integrating friendlier, content-driven visuals and more illustrative callouts, we were able to reduce the amount of copy and showcase key information. We also developed a graphic standards system for package violators, which gave the packaging greater impact on the shelf, while keeping violators on-brand and on-point.
Many of the design recommendations have been adopted into Waterpik packaging, and have been important factors in Waterpik getting their products on the shelves of several national retailers, including Target, Home Depot, Lowe’s and Bed Bath & Beyond.
