Baked with Kindness
Packaging
Fresh from the Hill Country
At Giant Punch, we had the delicious opportunity to build the Frank and Earl brand from the mark up — a small-batch Hill Country bakery where everything is baked with kindness. It starts with a logo, and it ends with packaging that looks as good as what's inside it. You can almost smell the sourdough just looking at it.
Join the Coop
Every great bakery needs a great mark, and Frank and Earl's is a charmer: the F&E monogram under a proud little chicken, "Hill Country Small Batch Sourdough" underneath, and one irresistible invitation — join the coop. The identity sets the tone for everything that follows: warm, a little cheeky, and completely serious about good bread. From there, the mark had to work hard on the shelf — and that's where the packaging system comes in.
Labels That Tell the Story
Our mission was to build a label system that works as hard as the bakers do. The roll labels carry the brand, the bakery, and the website, while flavor stickers do the talking on the shelf: No Nuts Nana Bread, Sour Doh! Bread, Chocolate Chippy Cookies. Each one is a tiny billboard — clear, cheerful, and unmistakably Frank and Earl.
Bags with Personality
One of the highlights of the system is how the bags carry the jokes. "Sour Doh!" for the sourdough. "Life is Hard. Cookies shouldn't be!" for the Chocolate Chippy Cookies — made, fun fact, with quail eggs instead of chicken eggs. The No Nuts Nana Bread bag tells you exactly what you're getting: soft, golden sourdough banana bread, no nuts, no shortcuts. It's not just packaging; it's the bakery's voice, printed right on the bag.
Small Batch, Down to the Number
Small batch isn't a slogan here — it's a system. Every loaf is numbered by batch, so Batch No. N0001.25 means something: a particular bake, a particular day, a particular standard. Limited quantities, baked from scratch, gone too fast. The packaging honors that honesty instead of hiding it.
Deep Dive
When collaborating with a new client, our journey begins with a deep dive. We believe in understanding every facet of your business, products, and objectives. This knowledge forms the bedrock of our creative process, ensuring your story is told brilliantly. With Frank and Earl, that meant tasting the difference between a good loaf and a great one — and designing an identity and packaging worthy of the great one.
