Mr Trotter's Packaging and Brand Collaboration

Mr Trotter’s Gets a Bold New Look

What happens when a much-loved British character meets bold new flavour? A pack that punches above its weight — and a design that leads with pride.

We were thrilled to partner with Made for Drink on the launch of their latest innovation: Mr Trotter’s Pork Scratching Flavoured Potato Crisps, created in collaboration with English Heritage. 

 

The Challenge:

Create standout packaging that:

• Brings Mr Trotter to life with charm and cheek

• Celebrates the English Heritage partnership

• Cuts through in premium snack aisles

• Sets the tone for future product extensions

 

Our Creative Approach:

We leaned into nostalgic pub culture, British pride and Mr Trotter’s unmistakable charm — refining illustration, layout and pack architecture to deliver a bold, flavour-first design.

From the Union Jack waistcoat to the confident character-led branding, everything was crafted to grab attention and tell a story, both on shelf and online.

The Result:

Launched in April 2025, the new-look pack is already making waves — proudly stocked in stores and pubs.

A classic snack. A bold new format. And packaging that’s as punchy as the flavour inside.

From concept to cart, we design packaging that sells.
