The meat producer Pre® Brands has executed a comprehensive redesign of the packaging for its entire range of grass-fed beef products. This venture includes its steaks and ground beef.
Pre® Brands' "protein-forward packaging refresh" emphasizes a clean, minimalist aesthetic utilizing white chipboard and a fully transparent window, with visual prioritization given to the protein content per serving and imagery suggesting pastoral sourcing. The 360-degree transparent window mitigates a common point of friction in meat purchasing — the inability to inspect the product’s color, marbling, and leanness through opaque packaging — thereby building trust and reducing perceived risk when buying a premium product.
All in all, the redesign is presented as a strategic move to enhance shelf clarity for the grass-fed beef products, communicate nutritional value transparently, and physically embody the company’s 'Beef Done Differently' philosophy through improved recyclability and cohesive branding.
