Playful packaging: Wakatoon's Edutainment offer

Our packaging solutions for kids can be used by food service industry brands exclusively for entertainment, educational purposes but also to raise children awareness to some topics like food waste. This is what we call Edutainment (education and entertainment).

As part of our children's packaging project with Danonino a Danone brand, educational elements related to the history of football were added to each of the 8 coloring stories that were printed on pack.

We design for you tailored-made coloring pages. They can be printed directly on the food packaging (on-pack) for your customers to see on shelf.
These coloring activities serve as cut-out, color, and transform into animated drawings on the Wakatoon app.
Wakatoon can also offer to print your personalized coloring activities in the form of collectible cards directly inserted inside the packaging (in-pack). If you decide to create several mini-coloring activities as children's premiums, families collecting these cards will repurchase your product multiple times.

The process for your packaging project

We transform your brand values into a custom coloring for your food packaging.

We will also adapt to your packaging specifications (environmental-friendly, types of materials used...).

Adapted for a wide range of food packagings

Wakatoon's magical colorings can be printed on-pack or inserted in-pack for a wide range of food packaging (trays, boxes, plastic containers, cases, gift boxes...).

We'll into account the packaging specs and the packaging material on which you want to print (cardboard packagings, recycled paper...).

A personalised container for each type of product

Depending on the type of product for which you want to implement this children's packaging project (snacks, dairy products, yogurts, chocolates, candies, baked goods...), we will advise on best options in relation with food packaging companies you are dealing with. Our expertise in the food industry will allow us to anticipate logistics, palletization, shelf placement, and any events that can be arranged for the product.

Working with your graphic design team or suppliers

Throughout the stages of creating your packaging to colour, we will work as a team with the agency or third-party responsible for your project or with your marketing/communications department and your graphic designers. We will reuse your visual identity to offer you a custom and personalized coloring packaging.

If you have a specific color palette or color codes, we’ll be happy to take them into account.

Printing mock-up and go ahead

Once the design and mock-ups of the packaging are validated, we will print mockups and validate together the prototypes of your kids packaging project.
