More About Honey Crystal Packaging Labels

Honey Crystal is a set of packaging labels created for the honey products of a family bee farm founded in 1957. The labels avoid the common use of bee and hive images and instead highlight the crystal structure of honey, along with local landscapes, plants and flowers. Three separate labels mark raw honey collected in spring, summer and autumn. The labels are self-adhesive and glossy, printed in CMYK and Pantone colors, in sizes suited to jars of 720, 410 and 250 milliliters. Transparent labels are used for pollen pouches.

About Kristina Pacesaite

Each one of us in unique. I find the magic happens in the process of work itself. I enjoy the transition between the ideas from “ideal world” into material matter. The most important think is that I've found my purpose in my work and I can grow professionally with each project. Being specialized in one area ( gastronomy) helps me to stay in focus an monitor the industry news, which will help me in the designing process afterwards. I feel happy when I stumble upon some fresh ideas and solutions for my clients. I also enjoy to make my own in house projects in my spare time.

Research revealed that the consumers want to support local producers while whishing to see tradicional products along with new tastes.
