We recently teamed up with ArborGen Holdings again for their 2025 Annual Report – working alongside Ellis and Co to give it a bold new look, a landscape layout, and a smart mix of storytelling, infographics and strong visual rhythm. From refined financials to custom icons and engaging photography, this one’s all about clarity and confidence.

It’s all in the details 🕺🪩

From show-stopping décor and custom backdrops to curated entertainment, social media, name badges, certificates and bespoke gifts – every element was designed to bring the Bakels New Zealand Supreme Pie Awards theme to life in true 70s style.

We’re all about crafting experiences that feel considered, cohesive and full of flavour – just like a good pie should be. 🥧

🐝 Design That Supports the Hive
When bees thrive, so does everything around them.
To help protect our pollinators, we worked with Elanco NZ to design a resource that makes complex science clear and actionable for beekeepers on the ground.
From hive-inspired visuals to easy-to-scan layouts, every design choice was made with one goal: to help the people who help the bees.

When it comes to packaging design, one size definitely doesn’t fit all.
Any size, any style – from boxes to bottles, bags to beyond – we’ll make sure your product is perfectly packaged, every time.

Let’s create something that looks just as good as what’s inside.

It’s a Goldie but a Goodie! Our refresh of the Bakels Gold Label Baking Mix range brings a playful yet premium feel to the baking aisle, making them as irresistible as the treats inside. With scrumptious imagery, fun typography, and pops of colour, the range was crafted to be instantly recognisable – helping home bakers easily find their perfect mix.

Designed for flexibility, the packaging allows new products to be added effortlessly, while the gluten-free mixes stand together as a set. A playful yet professional look that captures the joy of baking.

And yes, we’ve had to test out a couple for ourselves (for research, of course 😉) – and we can confirm, ‘Real Baking Made Easy’ is exactly as it says on the pack! 🍰

Step right up! 🎪🌭🍦 For this year’s Foodstuffs Expo, we brought a bold and nostalgic food stall experience to life for Delmaine Fine Foods, showcasing their mouth-watering range of sauces and dessert toppings, along with The Longest Drink in Town milkshake syrups.

With vibrant visuals, an immersive design, and a 7½-foot-tall Toby the Giraffe, the stand captured attention – and even took home the award for Best Small/Medium Stand! It’s always rewarding to see our designs not only come to life but also be enjoyed by so many.

Here’s to creativity that stands out!

This week, we've been hard at work bringing the NZ Bakels stand to life at the Foodstuffs Expo in Hamilton! Seeing the vision come together filled with an incredible display of their delicious donuts was a highlight.

For NZ Bakels’ range of donut fillings, we designed a one-of-a-kind Donut Cocktail Bar, where visitors could mix and match their favourite flavours, expertly squeezed into a fresh donut and finished with a smorgasbord of toppings. The stand featured a sleek faux-marble backlit bar, pressed copper-effect walls, and all the elegance of a high-end cocktail lounge - complete with a full-width mirror, glassware, and shakers for that premium touch.

A seamless blend of creativity and craftsmanship, this project was a treat in more ways than one.
