This ice cream functions as "the freshest and richest ice cream" made out of Columbian and Brazilian coffee, caramel, and white leche cups (chocolate). This ice cream in particular is for those at any age, who likes the combination of coffee, caramel, and chocolate. Ice cream was created at first as a frozen treat eaten as a dessert or snack to be eaten in the warm weather to cool down the body, but now it is treated as a treat that can be eaten as a dessert after a meal or by itself as a treat. It is intended to be eaten where ever, but ice cream should be kept in the freezer because it will melt easily. The material chosen to hold the ice cream is heavy ice cream carton for durability because carton is does not easily break. The color of the carton is dark brown and black depicting the richness of the flavored ice cream picture and label. The font is elegant showing the brand of ice cream is of high quality. Since launch, Private Selection have added more gourmet flavors to their ice cream collection. 

The idea of this ice cream package is to let consumers acknowledge that their brand is of high quality compared to other brands, to attract consumers. Before ice cream brands only produce only one sized ice cream cartons, nowadays, ice cream brand produce a variety of sized ice cream cartons so consumers can choose what size of ice cream to eat and for which occasion. There is also to go sized carton that consumers can buy and bring along with them whenever they crave for ice cream.

Coconut oil was created in the first place as a enrichment to the flavoring of food, but nowadays coconut oil is used in many ways besides cooking, it is used for skin, weight loss, and overall for health boost. It is intended to be used indoors at home or restaurant, preferably in the kitchen because oil needs to be kept in a certain temperature and can easily turn bad when exposed to the sun. A plastic container was chosen to hold the product because a plastic container is lighter than a glass container. The color chosen to display the product is bright orange is to attract consumers to buy their product. The label with a background, organic font, and a picture of a split coconut laid on palm leaves depicts where the coconut oil is extracted from, is natural. Kirkland signature since launch has evolved by providing consumers with "perfect combination of quality of food and supplies and price". 

The idea of this coconut oil packaging design is to provide consumers with a good quality coconut oil made from nature. The design problem that prompted this solution is that Costco do not want to count on other brand's coconut oil to gain customers, they want to provide their customers with their own brand of goods therefore Costco came up with Kirkland Signature. This is a good idea because coconut oil can be expensive and by Costco producing their own coconut oil can help them gain more customers joining their Costco membership. Coconut oil is not only tasty, but healthy to one's skin and health.

Lindt is a popular brand famous for its delicious melting chocolate truffles. Rodolphe Lindt the creator of Lindt's chocolate was one of the most famous chocolate makers in the late 1800s-early 1900s. Back in the days chocolate was served as a drink, hot chocolate, flavored with a mix of peppers and spices, served to those of nobles. Then in 1845, Lindt decided to make chocolate into a solid form, into a candy bar that ordinary people can buy. In 1949, Lindt introduced people to Lindt Lindor, a chocolate ball filled with melting chocolate inside. The creation of Lindor was "inspired by a heritage of chocolate making, Lindt's Master Chocolatiers created a chocolate masterpiece, the iconic Lindor recipe. The delicious Lindt chocolate shell enrobes an ultimately smooth filling. Once the shell breaks, the irresistible and decadent filling starts to melt". The functionality of chocolate has changed. Nowadays, people indulge on chocolate especially dark chocolate for healthy reasons, because eating dark chocolate can improve one's brain functionality and can reduce the risk of one having a cardiovascular disease by lowering cholesterol.

Chocolate is intended for anybody who craves it. Unlike chocolate bars, the chocolate balls are wrapped separately from its package. The chocolate balls is wrapped in blue foil papers. The material of the package is of a blue poster paper textured bag with intricate white snowflakes and leaf vine. In the middle of the package is a cut out with clear heavy-duty plastic wrap, so consumers can see the nicely wrapped chocolate balls.

The idea of the design is to get consumers to indulge in their rich and smooth dark chocolate. In addition, the packaging idea is good because the bag is thick enough to keep the chocolate in form and not melt easily. Lindt's Lindor dark chocolate is delicious.

Napa Valley is one of the tourist attraction famously known for their many wineries, Robert Mondavi Winery being one. In the image above is a bottle of wine created by Robert Mondavi's winery named Merlot, 2011. It is a alcoholic beverage made out of ripe blackberry and plum.

While the fonts for the winery and wine name shows the luxuriousness of this beverage, as well as where it is from in a red cursive font, elevates the cost of the wine. The label also shows a picture, hinting how the winery looks like, allows consumers to vision what it will be like drinking at the winery. In the image below, Robert Mondavi Winery is engraved on the cap of the wine bottle with the color gold, reflects that his wine is a divine design. The idea of this wine bottle design is to present to people that this wine stands among the world's finest winery. The design idea is good, yet simplistic it shows the upscale of a alcohol beverage. However, because it is held in a glass bottle it can break easily. A protection sleeve incorporated into the design can be great and durable for consumers.
