Everyday convenience.
Ingredient-led character.
The Urban Sprouts brand connects traditional grains and ingredient-led food choices with the convenience of instant noodles. Big Box Studio’s packaging design approach was to make that proposition easy to understand at a glance: a prominent product name, a familiar prepared-noodle visual, clear variant cues and a consistent carton structure across eight packs.
