Tetra Pak Brand Extension

We joined Tetra Pak as an extended creative team, helping client brands build and evolve their own identities around Tetra Pak packaging.

The work spanned brand discovery, packaging design for new and transitioning products, and supporting campaigns for social media and out-of-home. We operated across Latin America in Spanish and Portuguese, serving brands that integrated Tetra Pak packaging into their product lines. Several of the products we designed are on shelves today.

Overview

We joined Tetra Pak as an extended creative team, helping client brands build and evolve their own identities around Tetra Pak packaging.

The work spanned brand discovery, packaging design for new and transitioning products, and supporting campaigns for social media and out-of-home. We operated across Latin America in Spanish and Portuguese, serving brands that integrated Tetra Pak packaging into their product lines. Several of the products we designed are on shelves today.

The challenge

Tetra Pak set out to find a creative partner that could work as an extension of its team. We earned that role through a creative pitch that brought fresh thinking to how client brands could show up on packaging.

The demand came from Tetra Pak's own clients. Brands across the region wanted packaging to launch new products or to move existing ones into Tetra Pak formats, and they looked to Tetra Pak for the design craft to make it happen.

Every project ended at the printing press, which put print production at the center of the work: CMYK color, ink behavior, and press-ready files built to exact specification. Precision carried real weight here, since an error in type or color translated directly into scrapped packaging and lost budget.

The work also ran wide: multiple brands across Latin America, delivered in Spanish and Portuguese, each with its own market and competitive set.

The challenge was to act as a fully embedded creative team for multiple brands across LATAM, taking each from brand discovery to press-ready packaging with the technical precision that print production demands.

Our solution

Brand Discovery That Started With the Business

We opened every engagement with a discovery session to understand each brand at its core: what mattered to the client, what they wanted to show, and how they aimed to sit in the market. That grounding came from thorough competitive analysis, color studies, and moodboards, worked through in joint brainstorming sessions. It gave every packaging proposal a strategic reason to exist.

Packaging Design and Development

We designed and developed packaging for brand-new products and refreshed the packaging of products moving into Tetra Pak formats. Each proposal was built to reflect the brand and to give it a competitive place on the shelf. The result was packaging that worked as both identity and sales tool.

Press-Ready Production

Our design team carried each project from freehand exploration through to print. That meant handling CMYK color, ink behavior, and press-ready files with the precision the printing process demands. This closed the gap between a strong design and a flawless physical product.

Launch Campaigns Across Channels

We complemented product launches with advertising for social media and out-of-home. Keeping the visual language consistent across packaging and campaign gave each launch a unified presence. Brands went to market with a complete story.

An Extended Creative Team

Our accounts team held the relationship with Tetra Pak's stakeholders, while a group of designers and a creative director ran the creative pipeline. This structure let Tetra Pak take on a high volume of creative requests through a single, reliable partner. We operated as a true extension of their team, in Spanish and Portuguese, across Latin America.
