Transcript

Is it a condom brand or a protein bar? This is what the best packaging of 2025 looks like. Canada number one, the dated protein bar. They will be referencing the old power bad, plus they have this elevated Roman Empire aesthetic. Slather SPF, a little bit of Australian energy inside the sunscreen category, and this homepage is unhinged. Packaging is alright. The whole experience, excellent. Then we have these Dior cosmetic charms, a little bit of hint of luxury that was being hunted down and ripped off shelves. It's just a little bit of extra for twenty twenty five. And last, Sauce. Playing into the tomato sauce category with a new really refined look tier really pops on an end cap compared to anything else that's in pasta. The winner of the best packaging this year goes to Sauce for taking a new take on a boring and stale category. Their flavor innovation, packaging innovation has been great, and they look fantastic in aisles.
