2019 SUMMER FANCY FOODS COVERAGE IS SPONSORED BY:

Gallery: Brands Explore New Looks at Summer Fancy Food Show

As a relatively calmer CPG trade show, the Summer Fancy Food Show can prove to be an excellent launchpad for rolling out new or limited-edition branding that might get lost amidst the hustle and bustle of bigger events such as Expo West. And for those brands showing mockups or renderings, the ability to have longer, more in-depth conversations with buyers provides an opportunity to make subtle design tweaks before production ramps up.

Here are a few of the brands that used The Summer Fancy Food Show to launch their new looks.

 

Render Foods

Render’s Quinoa Bites no longer are called “State Bird Seed” in honor of chefs Stuart Brioza and Nicole Krasinski, owners of the restaurant State Bird Provisions, who helped create the line. Instead the brand now emphasizes the value proposition of “snack like a chef” and a clearer description of the product within.
