Brand Identity and Packaging Design for Wrapt
Brand identity design and packaging design for a UK ecommerce gifting startup
Wrapt is a UK gift box startup created to offer curated gifting experiences through bold, design-led packaging and a memorable direct-to-consumer brand.
The goal was to create a brand identity and packaging design system that felt bold, giftable and commercially strong for ecommerce launch.
The founders needed a distinctive brand identity and packaging design system that felt playful, modern and visually ownable — helping the business stand out in a crowded ecommerce gifting market.
I developed the brand identity, visual language and packaging design to create a bold, flexible system that felt simple, colourful and instantly recognisable across packaging, digital and launch touchpoints.
This design project sits within my wider work on food and drink packaging design for startups in the UK, helping new brands launch with strong brand identity and packaging design systems.
The Challenge
Wrapt needed a bold and memorable identity that could help a new gifting brand stand out in a crowded direct-to-consumer market.
As a startup, the brand had no existing recognition, which meant the identity and packaging needed to create immediate impact, build trust and feel commercially credible from launch.
The challenge was to create a visual identity that felt playful and giftable, while still feeling polished enough to support ecommerce sales, social content and future product expansion.
The Solution
I created a bold visual identity system built around simplicity, colour and strong recognisability.
The identity was designed to feel modern, flexible and highly adaptable across packaging, digital and customer touchpoints — helping Wrapt create a stronger first impression and a more memorable brand experience.
The packaging design was developed to feel vibrant and distinctive, reinforcing the gifting experience while helping the brand stand out visually online and on delivery.
This included:
colour palette
typography system
ecommerce-ready brand assets
As part of the wider brand system, the packaging was designed to feel playful, giftable and visually ownable — helping strengthen both the unboxing experience and overall brand recall.

The Outcome
The final result was a bold and distinctive startup brand identity and packaging design built to help Wrapt launch with more confidence and clarity.
The new identity gave the business a stronger visual presence across packaging, digital and ecommerce, helping create a more memorable and commercially effective gifting brand from day one.
By combining brand identity and packaging design into one joined-up system, the final result felt more consistent, scalable and recognisable across every customer touchpoint.
For startups building consumer-facing brands, this kind of joined-up thinking is often what makes packaging feel more cohesive, credible and commercially effective from launch.
