About

A series of packaging concepts, designed for Nestle's Polo brand, "The Mint with the Hole". Nestle was planning on introducing a newer, more premium pack, and approached FITCH to help with the design.

The designs played around with the existing brand language, including the iconic shape, the existing packaging and the fun, quirky tone of voice. The designs were modeled in Rhino and then rendered in Keyshot.
