I'm A Label!


The vibrant colors of the labels for Zing! kitchen essentials are enough to grab the attention of passing customers. The high contrast of the white, sans-serif, uppercase font is also a factor that demands attention. Every aspect of the packaging/label is simple, straightforward, and effective. The colors and theme of the labels are fun and playful as well. The colors of the labels perfectly match the details of color to each corresponding product. The labels are also shaped to mimic dialogue bubbles, similar to those in comics, which makes it seem like the product is talking to viewers. The products simply state what they are with a small description of how they function. The playful characteristics of the product and labels represent the brand name- Zing!- which is a term individuals often use to describe a joke or pun. The minimalist aspects of the label is quite refreshing as well; from the choice of bright colors, to the simplicity of the typeface, and even the amount of materials used reveals that the company is sustainable and utilizes their resources only as needed.

Although pleasant to some individuals, the vibrant colors may also turn away other consumers. The bright colors may give off a childish nature and cause some consumers to not take the brand seriously and question the quality of the product. Even the straightforward statement of what the product is, there may be few individuals (like those learning to cook for the first time, etc) may not know what a trivet or a colander is even just by looking at it. Additional information or a small linear diagram of how the product is supposed to be used would perhaps solve such confusions.
