We're proud of a varied portfolio in which Cardone handles not just the design, but the full rollout and prepress as well. As brand guardian, we watch over colour, print technique and layout down to the smallest detail — a specialism rooted in years of experience at Esko, the Belgian prepress software company.
Not every project becomes a long-running case — sometimes it's one strong pitch, or a brand-new line just seeing the light of day. A selection of the most recent work.
This work is done for the agency Fotokoncept, where Cardone works as part of a team on the design. For DRiV, we redesigned the packaging and handled prepress for brands including Monroe, Walker and Champion, among others.
OTL, through their brand Opresso, a Chinese coffee manufacturer, teamed up with Belmoca. Cardone designed the artwork and handled prepress for Belmoca.
For WCUP, a sports nutrition brand, Cardone created new packaging proposals in two versions: a standard and a luxury edition.
Compostable coffee pods for Keurig machines, developed for the US market. Five flavours, in the signature Belmio style.
Belmio is the flavoured coffee brand of Belmoca, a coffee roaster producing private-label coffee worldwide. In 2019, the brand underwent a full relaunch: a new positioning, a new packaging system and a fresher, more striking world — developed by Dragon Rouge (London), with Cardone as graphic designer and brand specialist for the rollout.
Where Dragon Rouge laid down the story and the strategic framework, Cardone has since built the entire visual world around it through packaging design and branding: from the first swirl packaging to what Belmio is today, eight years and countless product launches later.
"A brand that doesn't just sell quality coffee, but surprises markets with an explosion of flavour."
What eight years of dedication to a brand gets you: a mature brand identity, and a complete rollout down to the smallest detail.
AluSense makes the capsules at the heart of the Nespresso-compatible segment — a technical precision company with the ambition and means to look the part. Cardone handles the packaging design and visual language that gives that precision a premium, almost untouchable edge: from website to trade fair stand, from social media to the capsules themselves.
Monroe, MOOG, Ferodo, Champion, Walker and Jurid are all brands of Driv, one of the world's largest players in auto parts. Cardone produces branding, adverts, leaflets, trade fair material and rebrands for them, via Fotokoncept.
