Dorians is a Montreal-based brand of healthy baked snacks who recently teamed up with creative firm the Small Monsters to create a unique range of crackers packaging.

The Dorians packaging features a brown paper bag-like background that serves to communicate the brand's local, artisan routes and boast its small-batch production methods. Each flavor of Dorians all-natural baked crackers is outfitted with a particular cartoon figure that helps link both the brand's quirky personality and its unique flavors. Dorians crackers flavors include Cracking Sea Salt, Furious Barbecue and Intense Za'atar.

Dorians is a small Canadian brand founded by two brothers who sought to make available a healthy assortment of baked snacks inspired by their grandmother's recipes and infused with flavors discovered on their own travels.
