Calligraphic Candy Branding

Waitrose Christmas Packaging Prepares Delicious Graphic Design

These delectable boxed treats from the British supermarket make me want to eat the Waitrose Christmas packaging before getting to the sweets. The delightful illustrated lettering is by Kate Forrester and the wrapping was conceived with the help of the shop's in-house team.

Winter wonderland and Christmas chronicling designs occupy the charming custom-drawn typography of the Waitrose Christmas packaging. I'm sure the chocolates and candies are delicious too, but whoever said branding can't succeed to entice is wrong on all counts in this case.
