Simplicity Meets Sustainability: Designing for Chef's Choice Across Europe
Chef's Choice, a prominent e-commerce and wholesale provider of daily essentials and groceries, operates throughout Denmark and the EU. As a brand dedicated to delivering quality products, they turned to Maditbox to ensure their packaging reflected their commitment to simplicity and sustainability.
The Design Challenge
Maditbox was tasked with designing the packaging for a range of Chef's Choice products, including rice, lentils, beans cans, and olive tin cans. The challenge was to create designs that were not only consistent across multiple products but also aligned with the brand's core values of simplicity and sustainability.
Research and Strategy
To kick off the project, we conducted extensive research to understand the competitive landscape and identify trends in the market. This research, combined with direct inputs from Chef's Choice, allowed us to develop a design strategy that emphasized simplicity, clarity, and brand alignment. We also collaborated closely with the printing team and stakeholders to select materials and colors that reinforced the brand’s commitment to sustainability.
“Green: The Color of Sustainability and Simplicity.”
A key decision in the design process was the adoption of green as the central color theme. This choice was deliberate, as green symbolizes sustainability, freshness, and a connection to nature—values that resonate deeply with Chef's Choice and its customers.

Execution Across Multiple Products
Maditbox successfully designed packaging for over 15 different products under the Chef's Choice brand. Each design was carefully crafted to maintain consistency while also catering to the unique attributes of each product. From rice to olive cans, every package carries the distinct mark of Chef's Choice’s brand identity.
A Partnership Rooted in Design Excellence.
The success of this project is reflected in the long-term partnership between Chef's Choice and Maditbox. The client expressed great satisfaction with the designs, which not only met their expectations but also solidified Maditbox's role as a key packaging design agency for their expansive range of products.
