Village2Urban — label design and printing for a 12-SKU FMCG range

Cold-pressed oils, honeys, jaggery and teas — twelve very different products that had to look like one honest, farm-sourced brand.

The challenge

The range spans bottles, jars and tubs of different diameters, and each carries mandatory FSSAI, nutrition, batch and weight information. Designing each label separately would have produced twelve unrelated products on the same shelf. The client also needed the labels printed and delivered, not just designed.

Our approach

We fixed one label architecture — brand block, product name, sourcing line, then the compliance panel in a consistent position — and let only the product illustration and accent colour change between SKUs. Every label was drawn to the actual container dieline, with wrap allowance and curvature checked on a physical proof before the run. We handled the printing ourselves, so the artwork and the finished sticker never drifted apart.

The design decisions

System

One architecture across bottles, jars and tubs; only illustration and accent colour vary.

Colour

Warm earth palette with per-product accents that stay within the family.

Compliance

FSSAI, nutrition, batch, MRP and weight panels designed in, not bolted on.

Production

Die-cut labels printed in-house with proof approval before the full run.

Delivered

What went out the door

  • Cold-pressed oil bottle labels (mustard, peanut, sesame)
  • Honey and murabba jar labels
  • Jaggery, desi khand and powder tub labels
  • Kahwa and green tea jar labels
  • Print-ready dielines and production runs

Outcome

Twelve SKUs shipped as one recognisable range, and adding a new product is now a half-day artwork job rather than a fresh design project.
