The core packaging design embodies Equator’s key elements, featuring the iconic bold red, stark black, and sharp lines that have become synonymous with the brand. Central to the new design is the addition of sun rays emanating from the center, symbolizing Equator’s sense of optimism and forward momentum. Just like the tiger marching left, Equator Coffees is forging ahead, open to new possibilities and inviting customers to join the journey.
“We wanted our new packaging to not only reflect our brand’s heritage but also convey our vision for the future,” said Shelby Colley, Head of Marketing at Equator Coffees. “The introduction of sun rays signifies our commitment to growth, innovation, and embracing what lies ahead as we enter our third decade and beyond.”
In addition to the visual updates, Equator Coffees has introduced a new color system and label structure to provide customers with more information about each coffee variety. Inspired by the structure of a ledger, the redesigned labels utilize color to differentiate between blends, single origins, espressos, decafs, and selections from the Chef’s Collection. Roast profiles and detailed variety and processing method information have also been added, catering to both seasoned coffee enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
The redesign was done in partnership with designer Swasti Mittal, whose respect for Equator Coffees’ legacy and keen eye for detail helped shape the new packaging to align with the brand’s future direction.
“We are thrilled to have partnered with Swasti on this journey,” added Colley. “Her creativity and attention to detail were instrumental in bringing our vision to life, and we couldn’t be happier with the result.”
Equator Coffees’ new packaging design is now available across its product range, inviting customers to explore the world of exceptional coffees while embracing the brand’s legacy of quality and innovation.
