The Refill Market, NJ branding

With a focus on natural ingredients, minimal packaging and small suppliers, The Refill Market brings refill and low waste shopping to New Jersey. We created their branding, look-and-feel, and labeling based on their eco directive. Reduce single use plastics!!!!

The labelling system for all sizes of refillable containers was designed to allow customers and store employees to hand write contents & weight, and still maintain branding.

The business cards, using two custom rubber stamps to stamp both sides of cut-out recycled shipping box cardboard, was a perfect concept and look for the business.
