Commercial commodity packaging has developed a distinctly boring appearance, so it's lovely to see something resembling the MLK Dairy Products' branding sitting on the shelf at the supermarket.
Designed by the Depot WPF branding agency, these sketched cartons and containers have been inspired by the compelling textures and patterns found at the farm where these milk products came to be. The MLK Dairy Products branding won the 2010 Epica Awards for its appealing aesthetic.
