Helium packaging "what's next?"

Context & Objectives

The company wanted to modernize its image, differentiate from competitors and embrace a more dynamic, fun and contemporary communication approach.


The old white-dominated designs lacked impact and shelf visibility.


CHALLENGE: Create a bold, colorful and distinctive design.

Helium packaging competitors "all same white color scheme"

Problem Analysis

• Lack of visual impact

• Too similar to competitors

• Struggled to grab buyers' attention

Helium Inspiration #1: woman with bubbles
Helium Inspiration #2: Gradient colored balloons
Helium Inspiration #3: Colorful box packaging
Helium Inspiration #4: Flashy box packaging

visual strategy

I explored trends beyond the party sector and noticed the rise of ultra-colorful gradients. I chose vibrant tones and modern image treatments to send a strong message: "Look at us !"

Technical constraints

  • All legal disclaimers and product texts had to meet official regulatory standards before going to market

  • Gradient adaptation to one-color steel printing (Pantone conversion)

  • Color level adjustments for cardboard packaging based on feedback from Asian suppliers

Impact & Results

"A design that catches the eye, truly stands out and modernizes the product’s image."

The team was blown away by the results and buyers praised the creativity and how fast I was able to deliver those 3 complete packaging visuals.


Measuring the commercial outcome was challenging, as purchasing decisions in this market are largely influenced by pricing rather than design.


But this art direction sparked a wider evolution of the company’s identity, influencing everything from the website design to email & document's header designs, even business cards.
