The customer requested several shape studies for a new cashew package. I did several artboards within the design constraints for this being a club store package. This project was done completely in Photoshop.
A 40oz Net Wt. package is fairly bulky, so some sort of grip or handling feature was explored. Convention had the package in a round, which is not optimal for case pack-out, so iterations were done in 4, 6, and 8 sided packages. The corner chamfers in the 8, or the angled shoulder in the 6 were ways to bring some geometry and interest to what previously looked like a stock round container.
The most difficult part of this project was being able to get any work done with the constant flow of people into and out of my office to grab handfuls of the sample product.
