Refreshed Healtea Sparkling Herbal Tea cans in four flavors

Case study

Healtea was a product people liked, but one they couldn't quite understand.

A clean-label sparkling herbal tea sold in Walmart Canada. We made the wordmark the hero, put “Sparkling Herbal Tea” up front, and built a four-flavor system that still feels like Healtea.

“When I came to Justin and Cool Kids, my biggest concern was that shoppers didn't immediately understand what Healtea was. He took that challenge head-on and delivered a packaging system that not only looks bold and beautiful on shelf, but communicates our product clearly and confidently.”

Francesco Mancuso, CEO, Healtea

Who we help

Different stages. Same problem: packaging that hasn't caught up to retail.

Already in stores

Your packaging looks great, but shoppers aren't getting it fast enough. We find what's getting lost and fix it, without starting over.

The Shelf Refresh

Getting ready for retail

What works online can disappear on a busy shelf. We build your identity and packaging together, so you show up ready.

It's not a decoration problem. It's a shelf problem.

We design for the moment that matters: three feet away, next to ten competitors, in front of someone who wasn't looking for you.
