Primo Caffe Undergoes a Packaging Evolution

Primo Caffè is a Sydney-based coffee brand with a strong heritage in delivering authentic, Italian-inspired coffee experiences to Australian
consumers. Established on principles of quality, consistency, and craftsmanship, Primo Caffè has built solid brand equity through its distinctive coffee blends, trusted reputation, and loyal customer base.

Over time, as the brand has grown and diversified, its packaging has become visually inconsistent across product lines. This presented
an opportunity to refine and evolve Primo Caffè’s visual identity — strengthening brand cohesion, enhancing shelf presence, and ensuring
the packaging reflects the brand’s premium positioning and enduring commitment to coffee excellence.

Our Approach

The Primo Caffé refresh was approached as a careful brand evolution rather than a complete redesign, with the objective of modernising the range while retaining the strong brand recognition already established in market. The new identity system was strategically developed to unify more than 20 SKUs across multiple coffee categories, creating a consistent premium architecture that improved shelf presence, navigation and scalability across the wider portfolio. Key design considerations included simplifying the visual hierarchy, strengthening variant differentiation and elevating the overall perception of the brand through cleaner typography, refined colour systems and a more contemporary premium aesthetic. The result was a cohesive packaging system that respected the heritage of Primo Café while repositioning the range for stronger impact within an increasingly competitive coffee category.
