Packaging Story of Kani Tribal People

Stories from the Shelf

Storytelling isn’t just for novels or movies—it’s the heart of impactful packaging design.

Stories have a way of pulling us in, helping us feel, connect, and remember.

We hope you agree.

Good packaging can turn a product into something special. It gives it meaning, a personality, and a way to stand out.

Simple design choices like colors, pictures, and patterns can make someone stop and take notice.

One of my favourite examples is a project inspired by the Kani Tribal people.

The honey packaging we designed shows their life and culture—how they carefully collect honey from the tall trees in the mountains.

The earthy colors and drawings reflect their connection to nature and their unique traditions.

Hold the jar, and you’re not just buying honey. You’re holding a piece of their world, heritage, and story.

If you notice the packaging design, you can see it clearly,

☑️ Honey comes in packaging that shows how they climb tall mountain trees to collect it, connecting us to their careful, age-old traditions.
☑️ Black pepper is packed in rustic jute bags, with illustrations showing the handpicking process deep in the forests.
☑️ Tapioca chips feature illustrations of every step—from farming the roots to cooking the chips—capturing the heart and hard work behind each bite.

And here’s the best part: these stories aren’t just on shelves—they’re on the streets.
We designed a truck for them to sell their products in the city.

The truck itself tells their story, with vibrant artwork showing their connection to the mountains, forests, and their way of life. It’s not just a vehicle; it’s a moving piece of art and culture, taking the Western Ghats to the heart of the city.

When you buy these products, you’re not just buying honey, pepper, or chips. You’re supporting a community, celebrating their traditions, and carrying their story with you.

That’s the power of storytelling in design. It creates connections that make brands unforgettable. 💯
