Top Job for Yarbal: Bolas Agro's Kaju Katli 500-gm aesthetic pack
In India, sweets are an essential component, integral to the completion of any festival, ceremony, or occasion. And, Kaju Katli is a popular Indian dessert usually topped with vark(a fine silver leaf that grandifies the look plus has anti-microbial properties).
What makes the Indian dessert more popular? The box packaging showcases crushed aluminium foil as the central graphic element to improve the visual appeal similar to providing a 3D effect of Kaju Katli.
The pre-press, including special photography of the product and crushed aluminium foil, is the USP.
