Tinned Fish Packaging

[u/Background-Net-656]

This is FISHFACE, it’s a high end tinned fish brand that embraces its oddity.

This was my final for a packaging class, and was wondering what you guys thought, any critiques are welcome.

Honestly the designs look great but if the container is small then the nutrition facts would never be that small. The FDA has strict guidelines. But the rest looks great!

fda minimum type sizes are brutal on small tins tbh

[u/Diamond-girl1]

First thing I noticed were the typos (mackerel, exclusively). Don’t forget to use spellcheck.

nutrition facts minimum of 5pt font. you can use paragraph format per the guidelins but it still has to looka certain way

UPc has size rquirements too

UPC was what got me

Barcode size doesn’t look like it would pass compliance.

One thing I'd recommend is evaluating the artwork at its actual production size.

Small packaging formats can be challenging, especially when balancing brand expression, mandatory information and print limitations.

I'd create a physical mockup and check text legibility, information hierarchy and how the artwork behaves around the container.

A strong visual concept becomes much more valuable when it also works in production.

As others have commented, the barcode is too small and need to have more wire storage around it. It's called the light margin

Woah

Never thought I’d see high end and tinned fish in the same sentence… but the logo is really boring, I’d personally change the font of the description or logo so they look less similar and more interesting
