Melbourne branding consultancy Landor partnered with John West to design new packaging for its pre-packed chilled seafood.

“The more premium yet simple packaging heroes the superior ingredients, making the range more appealing,” Ellerton said.

Species in the range include Tasmanian Atlantic Salmon, Scottish Trout, and New Zealand Squid.

The new John West Chilled range is currently being trialed in Coles stores throughout Victoria and Tasmania, with a national launch planned for October this year.
