Cuétara, a timeless classic reimagined for a new generation.

A new packaging design project for “Surtido Cuétara”, one of Spain’s most iconic biscuit brands. Founded in 1935, it has built a strong connection with generations of consumers, becoming part of the country’s collective memory and everyday family traditions.

The challenge was to bring this historic brand into the present, creating a more contemporary and distinctive identity without losing the essence, personality, and emotional value that have defined it for decades.

The redesign also aimed to position Surtido Cuétara within the accessible premium segment, elevating its perceived value and creating a clear point of difference from supermarket private-label brands.

The strategy was to place the Cuétara brand at the heart of the design, making it the central element of the packaging and the main driver of recognition and trust. With over 90 years of experience in biscuit-making, Cuétara represents a guarantee of quality, expertise, and tradition. By bringing the brand to the forefront, the new design reinforces these attributes, communicating a more premium proposition while remaining approachable and accessible to a broad audience.

The result is a stronger, more distinctive shelf presence that highlights the value of choosing an established brand with a long-standing heritage of craftsmanship and quality.

  1. Your description mentions keeping the brand recognizable from the side of a stacked box. Was the tonal side-panel wordmark assessed on printed board under store lighting, or mainly through digital proofs? That seems an important check when the side panel may be the only face a shopper sees.
