Humboldt Homegrown is a Northern California cannabis brand rooted in the region’s legacy of craft cultivation. The project required translating this heritage into a retail-ready identity, packaging, POP displays, and digital experiences that resonate with consumers while meeting strict regulatory requirements.

* Navigating strict California cannabis regulations for packaging, labeling, and child-resistant formats.
* Designing scalable systems to manage multiple SKUs, flavors, and product formats without losing cohesion.
* Ensuring production efficiency through automated print and labeling workflows.
* Designing POP display boxes and in-store collateral that maintain consistency with packaging identity.
* Incorporating sustainability-focused materials without compromising premium shelf presence.
* Coordinating retail assets (menu boards, flavor displays, POS graphics) to match packaging and display design.
* Establish a cohesive design system capable of scaling across new markets and product categories.
* Create packaging architecture aligned with compliance, production constraints, and automated labeling technologies.
* Develop a consistent visual identity that could flex across strains, SKUs, and retail environments.
* Design POP display boxes that reinforce brand identity, attract attention on shelves, and improve product visibility.
* Ensure materials, formats, and workflows supported sustainability and cost-efficient growth.
* Build a foundation that positioned the brand for future multi-state expansion and national retail presence.
