Summary
While working on packaging for Confectum soft candy, we created a whole marshmallow world. Now the brand is launching a second product line and asked us to help with the packaging design again.
Problem
The new Confectum marshmallow has a special feature - it has a fruit filling now. The product line is more expensive than the previous one, so our goal was to make the packaging more premium, while maintaining the consistency of the marshmallow world.
Analysis
We analyzed packaging in Western markets and identified the trends: minimalism, custom illustrations, bold colors and patterns.
Search for a solution
The story of the marshmallow world could go on in different ways. We thought about a new dimension of taste, about the integrity of shape and content, we even compared the novelty of the new line with art. But the winner was the liveliest concept in all senses.
Idea
It’s easier to love a living thing than artificial or abstract one. That’s why, the residents of the Marshmallow planet on the first packaging became popular.
In the second packaging, we decided to show how the animal world looks on our planet. In order to highlight a unique feature of the product - marshmallow and filling - we drew animals made of different bright fruit patterns. So we ended up with banana lions, peach penguins, vanilla lemurs and lime llamas.

Summary
Therefore, the second story of the marshmallow world solved two problems. The first is the packaging design of the new product line. The second is the creation of a visual design tool that can be scaled to add new flavors to the line.
