Supreme Winner 2026 bēgood. Nutrition
A Winning Combination for bēgood. Nutrition
A
huge congratulations to bēgood. Nutrition, our 2026 Inspire+ NZ Artisan Awards Supreme Winner! This product really caught the judges' attention. From the flavour and that wonderful chewy-crisp texture through to the clever branding and packaging, bēgood. has brought together so many of the things we look for in an award-winning product. Protein continues to influence food and beverage innovation, moving well beyond sports nutrition into everyday snacks and other food categories. It was also one of the clearest trends among this year's entries. But just because something has added protein doesn't mean people will necessarily enjoy it. Taste still matters, as do texture, mouthfeel, convenience, and value. With so many products competing for attention, what consumers see on the shelf matters too. The bēgood. bars impressed both our judges and consumer tasting panel. Hand-crafted with premium ingredients and balanced plant protein, they delivered on flavour and texture, while the distinctive packaging and strong branding gave the product real shelf presence. For us, bēgood. showed what can happen when

a producer understands a consumer trend but also puts real thought into creating a product people will enjoy and want to buy again. That's a winning combination, and we are delighted to recognise bēgood. Nutrition as our Supreme Winner. Congratulations also to all our Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal winners. An enormous amount of work goes into every product, from the first idea and recipe development through to packaging, production, and getting it to market. Each medal recognises that effort, and I hope all our winners take time to celebrate their achievements. And if you entered but didn't receive an award this year, please don't be disheartened. We've seen producers return after refining a recipe, changing their packaging, or rethinking their product positioning, and go on to win awards. A special shout-out to our judging panel, who all give their time, knowledge, and expertise so generously. We couldn't run these awards without you! And a particular shout-out to chef and judge Simon Gault for his continued support of Inspire+ and the culinary experience he brings to judging flavour, balance, texture,

and the overall eating experience. Simon, we really appreciate having you on board. And of course, a big thank you to our consumer tasting panel, who also volunteer their time. We love hearing your honest opinions and reactions to the products, particularly when it comes to that all-important question, "Would you buy it?" You bring the everyday shopper's perspective to the judging, and that's something we really value. Thank you to everyone who entered, judged, tasted, and supported this year's awards. It's been wonderful to see the thought, creativity, and determination that New Zealand food and beverage producers continue to bring to the both the grocery shelf and foodservice sector.

Take a coffee break with Matt GLOBALLY AWARDED PACKAGING DESIGN SPECIALIST AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR AT ONFIRE.
The Last Thing They See Before They Don't Buy You There's a particular kind of brand anxiety that sets in when sales start softening. The instinct is to look everywhere except the obvious place: the shelf. The media budget gets reviewed. The promotional calendar gets loaded. The conversation with the buyer gets difficult. And the packaging, the last thing a shopper sees before they either pick it up or don't, stays exactly as it is. Quietly losing ground.
Standing Out When Everything Looks the Same Walk down the paper towel aisle in any New Zealand supermarket and you'll find a category that has operated as a visual dead zone. Generic, functional, forgettable. Tuffy was no different. An established brand with real market presence, but packaging so commoditised it was nearly indistinguishable from private label. The brief wasn't just a visual refresh; it required a fundamental repositioning of what a paper towel brand means for a modern consumer. The idea was simple: mess happens. Life is chaotic. Kiwi families aren't embarrassed by that — they just need someone on their side. The positioning, Mess Happens, Get Tuff!, reframed the product entirely. Rather than a utilitarian solution to a boring problem, Tuffy became an ally; energetic, direct, a little bit cheeky. Strong saturated colours, full-colour mess scenarios, and a dimensionality previously unseen in the category creating an arresting shelf presence. This is what disrupting category norms actually means, not for novelty's sake, but because standing out is, itself, a commercial
strategy. When competitors have collectively trained shoppers to see the category through a dated, generic lens, the first brand brave enough to arrive with a modern perspective owns the aisle. Owning attention on shelf is a direct path to owning growth.
Colour as a Brand Language, Not a Decoration Colour psychology is often reduced to a chart: red means urgency, blue means trust, green means health. Not entirely wrong, but it misses the more commercially potent point, which is that colour works best when it either owns a category convention or deliberately subverts one. Farmland Foods presented a different challenge. A family-owned New Zealand smallgoods producer dating back to 1964, Farmland had genuine provenance, quality product, and loyal retail relationships. What it lacked was coherence. Years of range extensions and NPD had spawned a fragmented family of sub-brands, each quietly developing its own visual language. In pre-packed meats, where shoppers buy by visual shortcut, that fragmentation is commercially fatal. The new strategy abandoned the sub-brand architecture entirely, consolidating everything under a single confident Masterbrand. Farmland Foods, the family name, the founding story, the 1964 provenance, became the sole identifier across the full range. What unified it visually was a rich monochromatic navy blue, drawn from the traditional butcher's apron and applied consistently across every SKU. In a category dominated by full-colour print, the monochrome approach created an immediate, proprietary shelf block. The Masterbrand wasn't just a structural decision; the colour made it visible and proud.
The results were dramatic, in the first quarter of launch, Farmland captured 71.9% of total smallgoods category growth. With continued growth year-on year.
From Category Filler to Category Leader Rolling Meadow held real volume in the Foodstuffs NZ cheese category, but brand recall was low. Shoppers were buying on variant, size, and price. The brand was, in practice, invisible. When retail begins questioning your market position beyond price, the clock is ticking. The work began with an honest audit of what Rolling Meadow could own. Not premium, nor artisan. The answer was a brand for busy families who need cheese to work hard in daily life; reliable, flavourful, easy. The positioning, We Keep You Rolling, gave it a personality it had never had: big-hearted, direct, relentlessly positive. Category colour conventions were respected, but the execution was anything but conventional. Oversized food illustrations act as shelf beacons. A sticker-style logo, bold rounded typography and punchy descriptors completed a brand that finally understood its voice and its place in a modern Kiwi kitchen. Within six months of launch, brand awareness increased and thousands of new Kiwi households are choosing the brand as their cheese of choice. Three brands, three very different categories, and one consistent truth. Losing ground on the shelf rarely comes down to the product. It comes down to whether the packaging is working hard enough to earn the sale. The question worth asking isn't whether your brand can afford to invest in design. It's whether it can afford not to. The shelf doesn't wait.
