Studies show that 30% of businesses experience increased revenue after improving their packaging design.

Packaging design companies like Moxie Sozo help you stand out on store shelves, where consumers are actively making choices. While a small percentage of people may visit your website or engage with you on social media, 100% of potential customers will see your beverage packaging in-store—even if just for a fleeting moment. Smartly designed packaging leverages this critical opportunity to differentiate your product from the Red Bulls and Pepsis of the world.

The Moxie Sozo Approach

 

  • CO-CONSPIRATORS, NOT JUST COLLABORATORS
  • MORE THAN DELIVERABLES
  • CAPABILITIES

Moxie Sozo throws out the conventional packaging design playbook and embraces a bold, innovative approach. Our unique process disrupts the traditional methods employed by other packaging design companies, empowering brands to challenge and displace established competitors. Our track record speaks for itself.

Here's how we achieve packaging design success:

  • Co-Conspirators, Not Just Collaborators: We believe in creating packaging that captures consumers' attention with provocative, disruptive designs. We go beyond colors, fonts, and logos to create a complete brand experience.
  • More Than Deliverables: While other packaging design companies focus on deliverables, we focus on long-term brand success. We ask the crucial question: How can packaging design solve your business problems?
  • Capabilities: We offer research, strategy, and design, but our true strength lies in novel solutions. We combine data-driven insights with human creativity to design packaging that challenges traditional norms and disrupts the status quo.

 

Fortune favors the bold. If you're ready to venture into uncharted territory, contact our creative team to discuss your packaging design needs.

Shelf Life or Shelf Death?

001-Moxie Q1 Campaign Topic 04

Securing a trial for your new beverage in a major supermarket is a significant first step toward brand success—but it's also the easiest.

Supermarkets typically give new products a limited window, from a few weeks to a few months, to prove their worth. If your product doesn't meet their sales expectations, it's game over.

Partner with Moxie Sozo to ensure your beverage not only makes it onto the shelves but also stays there. Our package design expertise goes beyond aesthetics. We translate your brand values into designs that resonate with consumers on both rational and emotional levels. We're your co-conspirators in uncovering what makes your brand truly unique and transforming it into packaging that compels shoppers to choose your beverage.

Green River Distilling Co.

Green River Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey was once one of the most renowned brands of its time, boasting a rich legacy. Tasked with breathing new life into this storied brand, we wanted to honor its heritage while introducing a bold, contemporary identity. Our team created a design that artfully blends the past with the present, delivering a brand identity that is both current and timeless. By leveraging the brand’s historical elements, we crafted a visually striking and evocative design that resonates with whiskey enthusiasts everywhere.

The impact of our work is evident: Green River Distilling Co. received Double Platinum for Bottle Design at the Ascot Awards in 2022 and Double Gold at the John Barleycorn Awards in 2022. Additionally, the brand’s success and revitalized image led to its acquisition by Bardstown Bourbon Co. in 2022.
