Brand Spawday, a Swedish pet-care brand
The brief

Spawday needed a packaging line that felt premium yet playful, and would stand out in the pet shop shelves.

The intention with the packaging was to give Spawday a clean, premium feel without losing the personality the brand is built on. It's my brother's brand, so I came in once the identity was set: the name, the color palette, and the Elvis illustration. My job was to turn that into labels for the whole range.

The approach

Clean labels, a soft palette, and a clear order to read them in.

Each label leads with the product name, keeps the details in a calm block underneath, and gives Elvis a fixed spot at the bottom. The colour does the sorting: one tone per product, except the two purples that was branded by their ingredient - lavender. The range reads as a family and you can still tell them apart at a glance.

The full Spawday line: the shampoo, paw foam, relax oil, protect balm and jade-roller kit box, each label built on the same layout
Paw Protect Balm: an olive jar with a cream label, the line-drawn dog face moved onto the lid instead of the front
Pawdicure and Manicure: a tall white foam pump with a soft-blue label, built on the same layout as the rest of the range
The Spawday range laid out on green marble with a string of pearls, a jade roller and a dog's paw resting in frame
In the bathroom

The line was shot by Jonathan Perlmann in a green-marble hotel bathroom, with Elvis modelling. The creator and his products.

For the feed

Templates so the brand could keep posting on its own.

The social templates use the same building blocks as the packaging: the palette, the face, the type. A few set layouts for product posts, testimonials and text posts, so Spawday can fill a feed without rebuilding a design from scratch each time.
