The Challenge

Meridian roasted better coffee than half the names crowding the aisle — and still looked like every other kraft pouch with a mountain logo. Specialty buyers never found them. Retail buyers never remembered them. The product deserved a face.

The Solution

The brand was rebuilt around craft without costume. A restrained wordmark, a tactile paper system, and packaging that shows the origin — not a stock photo. Each roast got its own color cue, so the shelf reads as a set, not a scramble.

Built to scale across SKUs.

A complete packaging system covered bags, cups, shipping sleeves, and retail displays — so every new roast lands looking like Meridian without a redesign.

Identity

02

Wordmark, type, and a color language rooted in roast profiles — light, medium, dark — not gradients for their own sake.
