Global Packaging Architecture
Herbalife
About
Herbalife’s global product portfolio spans hundreds of SKUs across more than 90 markets. As the brand evolved, packaging needed to reflect a more modern, premium identity while remaining scalable for global manufacturing and regional adaptation.
I led the development of a global packaging architecture designed to unify the brand visually while supporting future product expansion.
Operational inefficiencies when launching new products
Complex SKU expansion without a scalable design system
Legacy design elements that no longer reflected the modern brand direction
Visual inconsistency across markets
The Challenge
Brand Consistency
A unified system that ensures products remain clearly identifiable as Herbalife across all markets.
Product Clarity
Simplified hierarchy to help customers quickly understand product benefits and usage.
Scalable Design
A flexible structure that allows the portfolio to grow without redesigning each product individually.
Approach
The packaging architecture was designed around three core principles:
Collaborated with product, regulatory, and supply chain teams
Aligned packaging with updated brand guidelines
Defined hierarchy, typography, and visual system
Led creative direction for global packaging architecture
