Depot WPF created this [private label packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blanco-1) based off of the idea of how integral a simple shopping list can be to a grocery store visit.

This design imagines that everything from milk bottles to [fresh herbs and olive oil](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/north-coast-organic) would be labeled with [simple handwritten ingredient lists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flour-water) where common items have been stroked out.

An egg carton is labeled with other fridge items like milk and cottage cheese, while a bottle of white wine is paired with a shopping list of tomatoes and thyme. As well as providing a reminder for some of the most necessary kitchen staples, these distraction-free packages are meant to do away with colors, logos and images and help consumers stick to what's on their shopping lists.
