A Lisbon-based burger delivery restaurant called 'A-100' recently teamed up with the design agency Savvy Pirate Communication to create new packaging for its burgers and other menu items. However, unlike other food delivery companies, A-100 opted for an understated design that more closely resembles industrial shipments.
Since delivery is a central part of A-100's business model, the company opted for packaging that resembles the kind of shipments commonly sourced from industrial places such as factories. As a result, the design agency used traditional packaging materials, stamps and stickers to convey the postal theme. As Savvy Pirate Communication explains, "All this project is aimed to enable the consumer to experience the service of receiving a burger at home as if it was an order from the factory."
