Burgeoning Plant Food Branding

Root Fertilizer Packaging is Naturally Endearing

— August 13, 2011 — Eco
Given the organic intentions of top dressing products, one would expect to see more marketing themselves as Root Fertilizer packaging does. The overloaded, over-inked and exceedingly synthetic labeling of mainstream gardening blends leaves items like this one looking increasingly genuine.

What this S and Team seems to say is that this one is a compost concoction derived from sustainable sources into a simple and successful mixture. It's the modest yet engaging graphic treatment that enhances the authentic image of Root.

The white paper bag suggests eco-friendly wrapping and with most of the surface left unprinted, one might feel better about recycling or even composting Root Fertilizer packaging. The entire bundle is finally branded with a cute earthy logo of colorful abstract seedlings.
Trend Themes
1. Sustainable Packaging Design - There is an opportunity for companies to adopt modest yet engaging graphic treatments and eco-friendly packaging materials to enhance the authenticity of their organic product offerings.
2. Natural and Organic Gardening Products - The market for natural and organic gardening products is growing, presenting opportunities for companies to develop products that align with consumers' desire for sustainable, earth-friendly options.
3. Authentic Branding - The trend towards brands embracing authenticity presents a chance for gardening companies to differentiate themselves by highlighting their sustainability and organic sourcing practices through their branding.
Industry Implications
1. Gardening and Landscaping - Companies in the gardening and landscaping industry can capitalize on consumers' growing interest in natural and organic products by offering sustainable options and highlighting their authentic branding.
2. Packaging Design - In the packaging industry, there is an opportunity to provide eco-friendly materials and design solutions that align with the trend towards sustainable, natural products.
3. Sustainability Consulting - The growing demand for sustainable products presents an opportunity for sustainability consulting firms to work with gardening and landscaping companies to develop sustainable sourcing and branding strategies.
