Design for Melton Mowbray businesses
Melton Mowbray calls itself the Rural Capital of Food, and food is where most of its design work comes from. The town is home of the Melton Mowbray pork pie, which has Protected Geographical Indication status, and it lies within the area where Stilton cheese is made, with dairies such as Long Clawson nearby. Artisan bakers, butchers, delis, cheesemakers and larger manufacturers all need packaging, labels, shop signage and food photography.
Protected food names come with rules about how a product is named and described, so pack wording should be confirmed with your certification body before artwork is finalised; we then lay it out cleanly with ingredients, allergens, weights and storage text where buyers expect to find them. Gift hampers, Christmas boxes and food festival stands are seasonal peaks that need planning weeks ahead of the print deadline.
Pet food is a major industry too. Mars Petcare has a large factory in the town, with the Waltham Petcare Science Institute at nearby Waltham on the Wolds, and suppliers around them need brochures, technical documents and product photography. The Defence Animal Centre, which trains military dogs and horses, is also based in Melton.
