Brand relaunch & brand management Wicklein

Celebrate
every moment.

How Wicklein turned a range that had grown over decades into a brand with one single idea strong enough to carry it. A promise that holds across every line, every format and every month of the year.

The range grows. The brand no longer carries it.
Now what?

Every new line, every new format, every new occasion promises growth — and costs clarity. At some point the shelf is full and nobody can say in one sentence what the brand stands for. Then it is no longer the brand carrying the range, it is the price. Wicklein shows how one single brand idea holds variety together instead of merely administering it.

Is your range growing faster than your brand?

One idea.
Holding it all together.

We did not reinvent Wicklein. We took it back to the one core it had always been selling: the moment you take for yourself. Every design element follows from that core — the mark, the bow, the ribbon. A range became an offer.

  • Celebrating as the core of the brand

    Celebrating Moments: a montage of everyday moments with gingerbread and coffee on Wicklein red
    • “Celebrate every moment” as the central brand idea
    • Holds for every line, every format, every price tier
    • The range grows, the contour stays
  • A careful evolution of the logo

    Logo evolution: the previous Wicklein mark next to the sharpened version, joined by an arrow
    • Logo evolved self-similarly
    • Quicker to read on the shelf
    • 1615 as substance, not as decor
  • The bow as the celebrating core element

    The Wicklein bow as a flowing ribbon in gold and red
    • The act of celebrating as a visual mark
    • The colour changes per product line
    • A celebrating code, visible belonging
  • The moment ribbon tells the stories of celebrating together

    Moment ribbon: scenes of celebrating as silhouettes — coffee table, birthday, Christmas tree, bow and market stall
    • Runs along the bottom edge of every pack
    • Small scenes celebrate the moment
    • A product becomes an occasion
We’ve always had a good story. Now we finally have a brand that tells it.

On the shelf, the brand has to make an immediate impact. Even without knowing its history, I need to be able to sense everything that defines the brand just from the packaging.

A system
you can see.

From packaging through the range to the display in-store: every line has its own presence and stays a recognisable part of the same brand.

One brand, many packs.

Offset, flexo, gravure and other processes come into play depending on the pack. Each process behaves differently with colour, contrast and detail. Our expertise and tight control along the whole production path give Wicklein the certainty that the brand looks the same on every pack and in every printing process.

Let’s talk about your packaging line.

Let us make your brand
strong enough to carry it.

  • A core that carries variety

    Wicklein shows it: a precise brand idea makes range extension possible instead of punishing it.

  • A system that grows with you

    Bow, colour coding and moment ribbon form a set of rules. New lines fit in instead of being reinvented.

  • Visible success in the market

    Relaunched for ISM 2026, awarded in the New Product Showcase, confirmed by retail and the fair.
