We were approaching our 15th year of trading and wanted to refresh our brand identity. This also coincided with a change in our board of directors and it was the perfect time to create a new identity to reflect a company building on its foundation and moving into the future.
Ben at Tappenden & Tappenden was the best designer we could have ever worked with. He was very patient with us builders and took us step by step through the process of understanding what we wanted our brand identity to reflect and how we wanted it used across our entire company.
Ben supported us through the design process and walking us through a gallery of ideas was a great physical way for us to see which brand image worked best for us. From company documents to company vehicles, pens to PPE, Ben showed how all our company resources could reflect our new brand.
We continue to be very proud of our new brand identity and are forever thankful to Ben for taking the pain out of the change and making it very enjoyable.
Ben was responsive and creative throughout, pushing us to make the most of our fairly new brand guidelines and I’d certainly engage him for similar projects in future.

We engaged with Ben at Tappenden & Tappenden for a graphic design and packaging design project.
We had a high-value project being shipped in a plain rectangular box with some plastic inserts and padding to prevent damage.
Our product was getting damaged and the design and materials certainly didn’t reflect the brand we wanted to be.
Ben was able to help us fix all of those problems. He worked to redesign the whole inner structure of the box so that the product could be held safely in place with fully recyclable cardboard inserts.
He also came to us with a wealth of eye-grabbing exterior designs for the packaging based on our brand guidelines. We refined the designs over a few months to make sure we had a design which stood out in a retail environment while providing shoppers with product information and clear instructions to unbox the product.
Ben was responsive and creative throughout, pushing us to make the most of our fairly new brand guidelines and I’d certainly engage him for similar projects in future.

The box graphics, out-of-box experience and structural packaging you designed make it is so easy to unbox then re-pack we have reused it several times and it is still working perfectly. Factory to Bristol to Paris to Bristol to who knows where next. Great design!

Nkuku
Tappenden & Tappenden were engaged to assist Nkuku move our packaging development to a more environmentally sustainable level.
Ben really understood our brief and the challenges associated with our fragile products and global supply chain.
A packaging guide and example packaging were developed to enable Nkuku to get buy in from internal stakeholders and then to explain the standards required to the external supply base.
The project was completed in a visually effective way allowing the project aims and goals to be effectively communicated across a multi national supply base.
The project has been a real success to allow Nkuku to move far quicker on our packaging project than we would have been able to do without the support of Tappenden & Tappenden.

Videoloft
Tappenden & Tappenden met the brief for Videoloft cloud adapter graphics and packaging redesign perfectly.
Our new packaging is fully recyclable, presents the product cleanly and is the right dimensions for easy shipping.
We didn’t have a large budget for the design and development process or the per unit cost of the packaging but Ben ensured we still achieved a great finish which we’re really happy with.

Elvie
We couldn’t be happier with the collaboration with Tappenden & Tappenden for our packaging graphic design at Elvie. After our rebrand, we needed a design system that could cater to our global markets and accommodate various box sizes across our breastfeeding and pelvic floor trainer categories. Ben took this challenge to heart and truly impressed us with his dedication and creativity.
The final designs were simply outstanding. The level of design rigour that Ben brought to the table was evident in every detail. The typographic hierarchy he implemented was instrumental in conveying our messaging effectively in multiple languages. The combination of product pack shots and model imagery is crucial in showing our customers not only the beautiful product design but crucially how they look in bra, helping to separate us from our competitors.
Working with Ben was a pleasure, and we’re thrilled with the results he delivered.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Tappenden & Tappenden. Ben was able to create something that was both unique and fit appropriately where it was being used.
Everything was presented in such a way that it was very straightforward being involved in the development process.
I am really pleased with the results, and hope we can work together again soon.
