1h 10m · Print Design Podcast · 08 Nov 11:00

This week's guests are Ron and Mackenzie from Macaroni Creative. This is their second time on the show chatting about awesome packaging they had created and put out in the world.

During this interview, we talk about Hot Dogs and Sausages. But also Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) packaging.

Our deep dive is all about the Millers Craft Meats rebrand. This covers logos, collateral, packaging, and more. But we are here to chat about the packaging and how they made it all work on different substrates and different products.

This was a great conversation from some absolute pros in the CPG and beyond design space. @macaroni_creative
