Production Technology
The packaging is crafted using eco-friendly, recyclable materials, ensuring minimal environmental impact. The peel-off measuring system was developed after extensive prototyping, collaborating with multiple manufacturers to perfect its seamless usability. The structure is designed for efficiency in production while maintaining durability, ensuring that the innovative measuring feature remains functional throughout the product's lifespan.
Design Challenge
The challenge was shifting consumer habits from traditional pasta to nutrient-rich legume pasta while encouraging sustainable practices. The design not only emphasizes the health benefits of legume-based alternatives but also incorporates a built-in portion control system for effortless, precise serving. By seamlessly integrating this feature into the packaging, the project promotes sustainability and enhances convenience in everyday cooking. Overcoming manufacturing limitations and aligning sustainability with innovation pushed the boundaries of conventional packaging design.
Project Duration
The creation of the brand identity, including the logo, typography, color palette, graphic style, and illustrations, and their integration into the packaging design, took 1.5 months. An additional 1.5 months was dedicated to preparing the packaging for printing and producing samples, bringing the total project timeline to 3 months.
Operation Flow
We designed the packaging to challenge traditional pasta-buying habits by making the benefits of legume pasta instantly clear. A transparent window showcases the organic pasta, while bold labeling highlights its rich nutrition, building awareness and trust. The back of the box features a warm illustration of the cooking process and key product details, reinforcing its uniqueness. As an emerging category, legume pasta needed an equally innovative approach, leading to a sustainable, thoughtfully designed package aligned with the brand’s philosophy. To change the perception that legume pasta may lack flavor, we included a collection of delicious, inspiring recipes. Potamya quickly gained attention, appealing to health-conscious and eco-friendly consumers.
Research
To restore the disrupted natural balance, one of the most critical factors in ensuring sustainability is clean farming—yet it is practiced on only 1% of the world's agricultural lands. Organic farming leads to an increase in both the quantity and quality of produce. Globally, one out of every three plates of food goes to waste, three children die of hunger every minute, and 60% of food waste could be recovered. To consume nature’s gifts without waste, we have developed a portioned cap system. Contribute to sustainable living by consuming responsibly.
Inspiration
Potamya’s design is deeply rooted in ancient Mesopotamian culture, the birthplace of agriculture. The visual language reflects the artifacts, tools, and symbols from this era, reimagined through a modern, minimalistic approach. The logo, set in a deep navy, draws inspiration from geometric forms found in ancient Mesopotamian tools and inscriptions, creating a timeless yet contemporary feel. The illustration concept is a direct nod to the origins of agriculture, featuring stylized representation.
