Honey on the Money

I consistently come across great packaging solutions for the simplest of products. Honey in particular is something that has caught my eye many a time. Maybe it's the wonderful hues of the product itself that lends itself to strong graphic treatment, but I find myself spoiled for choice when browsing the shelves for honey.

The Sheffield Honey Company “is an artisan producer of premium quality local English honey and beeswax products”. Design and illustration company, DED Associates have created an unusual brandmark for the Sheffield Honey Company using abstracted forms of a drip of honey and a hexagonal honeycomb shape. The result is a utilitarian boutique style which certainly works for me.




“Nude Bee Honey Co.® was launched in 2010 by entrepreneurs Edward Okun and Jared Cantor with the aim of delivering the most delicious raw honeys produced by independent beekeepers.

Working with independent beekeepers to deliver varietal honeys means a constantly evolving product line. Different types of honey come in and out of stock based on their limited supply, which means all of the honeys we carry at any given time are limited edition.

Produced throughout Ontario Canada, packaged in Guelph and distributed from our small but efficient warehouse in Kensington Market – Toronto, Nude Bee Honey Co.® is changing the way people love honey.”



This honeycomb inspired packaging by Australian based agency, Pidgeon is simplistic and lovely. “Heide Museum of Modern Art produces and sells its own honey. The packaging and point-of-sale poster are both based on the Hex typeface developed by David Pidgeon.”
