The design inspiration for these cans is all about bringing festive feels wherever they go. The Design Team created a series of six limited edition cans for the New Year 2022, available for purchase in Russia. This initiative is a part of Pepsi’s ‘Light up the Winter Holidays’ campaign, which aims to spread joy and cheer during the festive season.
What sets these cans apart from others is their unique properties and interactive functional features. Designed with consumer engagement in mind, the cans aim to activate the brand beyond packaging. Consumers are encouraged to use their smartphones to scan QR codes on the cans, leading them to promotions, including a chance to win limited edition hoodies and t-shirts that glow.
The design notes from PepsiCo Design and Innovation highlight the intention behind the creation of these cans. The aim was to engage consumers, activate the brand beyond packaging, and offer interactive features. The QR codes on the cans serve as a gateway to promotions, adding an element of surprise and excitement for consumers.
