Endangered Species Chocolate Introduces New Packaging to Increase Brand Awareness

This new design will also help the company compete with an increasingly competitive natural and organic food industry.

Mar 7 2012 --- To continue to expand its brand awareness Endangered Species Chocolate (ESC) is updating its packaging to portray a more premium product.

Along with the new look the packaging will also feature updated animal plight facts, enhanced animal images and graphic elements along with information about the company's on the ground work in Ecuador with the Endangered Species Chocolate Foundation. At the same time the company is also expanding its product line by introducing its 1.4 oz organic bars to Canadian consumers.

"Packaging is one way we can explain our story quickly and effectively. Simply put you can have your premium chocolate and feel good about it too!"
