Lucozade is introducing a fresh packaging design for its Orange and Original drink varieties. The new packaging features increased transparency in the sleeve, providing consumers with a sneak peek of the product and helping them identify its flavor, taste, and refreshing qualities. This update comes as a result of feedback from 6,500 consumers and a comprehensive eighteen-month period of research and development. Alongside the packaging change, both drinks now come with updated recipes. The Original flavor boasts a “bolder” taste, while the Orange flavor offers a delightful “more citrusy, orange note.”
As per consumer feedback, the new transparent sleeves are expected to enhance product visibility on store shelves and act as a driving force for potential customers to make a purchase. These improved sleeves will be incorporated across all Lucozade Energy Orange and Lucozade Energy Original bottles in 380ml, 500ml, and 900ml sizes, both for individual sales and multipacks. Furthermore, the other Lucozade Energy flavors are also slated to adopt the new packaging design in the coming time.
New marketing plans will also be unveiled in the coming weeks, says Lucozade, which is expected to attract new consumers and help drive retailer sales.
