or as grandmother puts it: "value is being surprised and delighted when you least expect it . Why should packaging be static? Why can ' t it be a story in itself? Can it make someone read before grabbing a bite?
Indigo
With its cretive packaging, grandmother and jetkonnect have taken a page from the playbook of india's largest LCC , indigo. When it launched its first flights in 2006, indigo worked with ad agency wieden+ kennedy delhi to develop the airlines' inflight menus, safety cards, sickness bags, and other in-flight packaging designed to entertain passerger with a mix of functionality and fun. W+K delhi spokesperson bhavana lal told airlinetrends.com that "indigo" belives that flying should be an experience which is fun , hassle free and cool. A verybbig part of the inflight experience being food, which we feel gets neglected by most airlines-especially in the low-cost category,as they treat passengers as if they are not special-with food mostly presented in less than appetising tin foil. Through our food packaging , we talk about local insights and pop culture references, which people are relevant , to create something special that people will love to read,keep and carry. " every food item served on board comes in an eye-catching packaging and has a short description which tells the buyer what it is . For example, a sandwich that contains a lot of chailly is served in the style of a matchbox and the samosa packaging it comes inits own newspaper packet, "like any self-respecting indian street food. And indigo 's triangular paid - for 'airwish' boxes, in the airline 's worlds, "double as a sandwich box and a new medium to feature interesting and cool illustrations that make meals enjoyable beyond a few bites. "Indigo has also been the first indian airline to introduce tin packaging which can be re-used, and which also acts as a collectible for die - hard brand loyalists. Says w+k 's bhavana lal, "the reusable cookie tins which have since become an iconic part of indigo . People love to collect and take these colourful tins.
