Salt from the Reef – Salt from the Reef – Salt from the Reef –
Salt from the Reef was inspired by the beauty of the Great Barrier Reef; as well as the fact that it is known as one of the most magical places on earth. The concept behind the product is that its salt is a preserved piece of magic from the waters surrounding the Barrier Reef.
The product slogan and overall concept "A Little Piece of Magic" is translated graphically with a modern interpretation of a treasure chest/magic box. The box features a double layered format with a cut out window on the front of the packaging. The goal was to have the consumer experience this contradicting shift between the average black and white exterior and the complex illustration which surrounds the second layer. Sort of like mimicking the experience of opening a treasure chest.
A label is integrated on the side of the box with details about the salts origin and type. Inspiration was taken from specialty coffee packaging and applied to a product which rarely uses this format. The label displays information in a way where it’s easy to read, compared to having to read through a long paragraph in small print at the back of the box. Every box is dated and signed to create a sense of quality and illustrate the amount of care the brand puts into each product.
