We particularly love the brand packaging design, it is designed in a way where both the product and gift stands out. Where one isn’t overpowered by the other. It’s larger packaging size also allows for Colgate to advertise the benefits that their product is able to give you a 360 full mouth clean. The custom cut out of the packaging showcasing the gift with purchase also allows for the customer to see what they are purchasing.
