Packaging design

SOFT BAKED DAILY

A daily-bakery packaging concept shaped through paper structure, soft materials, and restrained space.

Studio concept, not client work

Case narrative

Background

SOFT BAKED DAILY is a self-initiated packaging concept for a daily bake. It expands one carton into boxes, bags, liners, labels, and counter display so a small changing range can remain coherent and easy to hand off.

Case narrative

Challenge

Soft whitespace can set a mood but cannot solve size changes, grease protection, flavour recognition, or peak-time handoff. The system must explain what fits, how it closes, and how staff identify it without multiplying carton formats.

Case narrative

Insight

Daily variation lives mostly in contents and quantity, not in a need for new packaging every morning. Stable structures with changeable liners, seals, and SKU labels translate production changes into a readable front-of-house rule.

Case narrative

Strategy

A single-item bag, small carton, and sharing box create the structural backbone. Warm-white stock, mist-grey type, and bake-tone labels stay consistent while item, flavour, size, and bake window follow one hierarchy; the seal doubles as a handoff check.

Case narrative

Design

The result covers folding cartons and greaseproof liners, a box-bag-label family, flavour and size SKU logic, material and closure rules, and counter display for single purchases, bundles, and gifting. It is design evidence, not a claim about real recipes or manufacturing specifications.

Strategy translated into delivery

The systems below connect each strategic decision to an inspectable specification, touchpoint, or operable result.

Packaging structure

Three formats for daily variation

The single bag, small carton, and sharing box share fold, closure, and liner logic, protecting different quantities with fewer structures.

  • Bag and box closure logic

SKU system

SKU labels that preserve the whitespace

Item, flavour, size, and bake window keep one reading order across carton face, bag seal, and shelf edge.

  • Flavour, size, and bake-window labels
  • Front, seal, and shelf reading order

Material system

Materials assigned by contact and protection

Outer carton, food-contact liner, carry bag, and seal use distinct paper roles, with separable parts and low ink coverage keeping disposal legible.
