Ganesh Vilas – Peanut Chikki

Ganesh Vilas – Peanut Chikki Packaging Design

Ganesh Vilas, a 71-year-old Madurai brand known for peanut chikki, has built strong regional trust with distribution across a 150 km radius.

Category Shift: Chikki has evolved from traditional bars to bite-sized pieces in jars—driven by premium positioning trends like Kovilpatti kadalai mittai. Ganesh Vilas aimed to adapt while staying rooted in tradition.

Design Approach: A deep maroon palette ensures shelf visibility and a premium feel. A classic bowl visual reinforces familiarity and authenticity.

Branding & Visuals: The elephant mask illustration adds a playful, memorable identity. Clear hierarchy highlights “Peanut Chikki Crunch,” supported by appetizing visuals and engaging elements for families.

Balance: Traditional cues are paired with subtle modern patterns and short captions to stay relevant.

Outcome: A refreshed identity that blends heritage with modern retail appeal—making chikki feel both nostalgic and premium.
