Little Duck Packaging Photos

Just got these photos back from our packaging manufacturer & thought I would share.  There are a couple issues that we need to have worked out, but overall everything looks good.  Keep in mind that the close up pictures are tear off’s.  The wrinkles that are shown on the surface of the packaging will not be there for the production packages.  Also, pictures were taken with a flash which makes the colors seem a little brighter (Especially the green).

Our goal was to create  all natural, organic snacks for infants and toddlers.  We knew that there was not much competition and the market is massive.  Organic food is currently the fastest growing segment of food sales in North America.  As an added benefit, infant and toddler niche is ripe with opportunity.
The last couple of months have been so busy.  We have created packaging, designed logos, sourced our product, and arranged for a vendor to package the product. We [...]
