Travel Light Series

Packaging design for a soft product series

About This Project

The Travel Light Series from MEC is a best selling collection from the Canadian brand. In the 2018 update, the series eliminated most of the packaging by allowing the product to fold into its own internal pocket. The challenge for the packaging was to ensure that customers can differentiate the products even when the products are in the packed form.

Challenge

Product differentiation.

Solution

Distinctive illustration to differentiate products. Product specific display tags to assist in easy shopping experience.
