Early packaging

WhenKikkerlandstartedtoproduceitsownproducts,italsoneededitsown

packaging.MuchofthiscreativepackagingdesignwasdonebyPieterWoudt.

Earlyon,therewasmoreofanindividuallooktopackaging.Forinstance,each

memberoftheCritterfamilyhaditsownlogoreflectingspeciallooksand

abilities.Butwhentheamountofpackagingmushroomed,itsoonbecameclear

thatitwasnolongerpossibletoalwayscreateindividuallooksandlogos.Still,

packagingisanimportantpartofeveryproduct.BecauseKikkerlanddoesnot
