Sydney-based design agency Tweak was asked to think up a fresh packaging look for a new brand of snack food in Australia.

Hooplas are small, crunchy potato-based rings that come in three flavours: original salted, sour cream and chives, and hot 'n' spicy.

The distinctive brand mark adds personality to the unique square-bottomed pack, boosts shelf impact, and reflects the brand essence at first glance.

There are currently similar products in overseas markets, but the potato rings concept is new to Australia.
