a 100% recyclable meal packaging system designed for long rail travel in the UK

What it’s Called: FaireFood

What it Is: Train-Based Meal Packaging System

What it Does: Provides a stable system of packaging designed for the English overground train environment. Packaging has been created with considerations for portability, accessibility, and sustainability.

What I Did: Packaging Design, Branding

Designing for the General Public

Since the audience for this project was all railway passengers on the UK train system, I wanted to make sure the design addressed such a diverse and expansive group with clarity and accessibility. This included:

  • Having clear and legible type that can be seen on a food trolley from a seated position

  • Having ingredients both pictured and listed

  • Providing visual instructions on how to use the packaging

  • Displaying nutritional labels clearly

Considerations

  • In order to minimize plastic waste, both packaging styles show a picture of the food instead of having a die-cut window

  • The aluminum tin is not only recyclable, but can also be reheated, allowing for the storage of hot meals.

  • Both packages can serve as a plate/bowl
