Bocco d’Oro – Hungarian Pastry Ice Cream Collection

ABOUT

Bocco d’Oro Pastry Ice Cream is a category-defining innovation: iconic Hungarian desserts reimagined as indulgent ice creams. Creamy, scoopable, yet layered with real pastry chunks, the product delivers a unique “half-pastry, half-ice cream” experience. The challenge was to translate this duality into a packaging system that is both visually engaging and commercially effective in a national retail environment.

SOLUTION

Our approach was grounded in usage & attitude research and refined through focus group validation. The key visual element is a stylized yet realistic wrap-around pastry illustration, designed to ensure 360° shelf visibility and instant recognition – even in disorganized freezer placements. Flavor differentiation is achieved through bold top-cap accents and color coding inspired by the desserts’ signature layers. Classic typography reinforces a timeless, premium yet approachable character, creating a design language that resonates across audiences.

RESULT

The final packaging system balances tradition and innovation, indulgent creaminess and biteable texture. Beyond aesthetics, it functions as a business tool: driving impulse purchases, guaranteeing strong shelf presence, and building long-term brand equity. Achieved within the framework of a classic SME project, the design demonstrates how research-driven creativity can deliver both emotional connection and measurable commercial results.
