The Farris bottle's new profile
The Farris bottle's new profile represent a quantum leap for a traditional brand. The designers have succeeded in giving the bottle a uniqueness that strengthens the brand and has rapidly increased sales in the Norwegian market.
The bottle expresses key values, such as purity, freshness and quality. The label emphasises the same values and leaves no doubt in the consumers mind that this is a product from Farris. This is an effective design that both communicates the company's core values and strengthens a well-known brand.
