Judges were captivated by Andrew Jordan and CMI PACK’s collaborative efforts with client PDQ having made these remarks: “PDQ has a comprehensive suite of packaging materials, including a bag, wrap, sandwich bag, chicken tender box, chicken nugget box, and more. The brand resisted the ‘logo slap’ mentality, and instead, each piece of the packaging uses a different configuration of PDQ’s color palette, messaging, and graphics. Even though each piece is different, each plays within the brand guidelines to create a cohesive packaging message.
The packaging also uses every available print surface, including inside flaps, to convey the brand message. The witty messaging used on the packaging also promotes engagement on social media.”
