Kellogg's Australia has announced a new packaging design for its cereal brands that includes an expanded nutrition information label. The brand has adopted a new design strategy in an effort to make the health information and other critical information on its food items more accessible. While many CPGs simply place a rectangular white label with a minuscule list of ingredients on the back of the box, Kellogg's Australia has elected to integrate its nutrition information into the box's front graphic.
The nutrition label was designed to be easy to read as it has a uniform background color regardless of the box's style. In addition to this label, Kellogg's Australia also careful selects its images and icons to reflect the nutritional information of each product.
This large, clear emphasis on ingredients and health benefits results in Kellogg's Australia's boxes being incredibly accessible. Many consumers can immediately determine what is inside the cereal box as the new nutrition information section takes up roughly one-third of the front of the box.
