Alf Turner Sausages: Redefining classic themes for inspirational packaging

Alf Turner is a brand with deep roots in British butchery, celebrating generations of craftsmanship in producing quality sausages. Known for their bold flavors and commitment to the “Best of British” quality, Alf Turner’s sausage range reflects a proud heritage and passion for excellence. Among their standout products, the Best of British Sausages and the collaboration with Iron Maiden’s Trooper Beer for Headbanger Sausages hold a unique place, offering distinct taste profiles that resonate with sausage enthusiasts across the UK.

The Project: Crafting a Standout Look for Alf Turner’s Sausages

Our work with Alf Turner was to design packaging that would capture the attention of shoppers and communicate the heritage and quality behind each product. We wanted the sausage packaging design to stand out on the already busy meat product shelves, especially in large retailers like Morrisons, where Alf Turner’s sausages are showcased to a wide audience. After several brainstorming sessions, we introduced a curved die-cut front sleeve that frames the brand name with the “Award Winning” title—a detail that has since become a hallmark of Alf Turner’s range of packaging. 

Our goal was to create custom luxury packaging for sausages that not only look premium but also highlighted the product’s high-quality ingredients, and become an exciting extension of the existing brand theme. Each packaging element, from the bold fonts to the inspirational illustration, was chosen to communicate Alf Turner’s dedication to tradition and flavour. The result is sausage packaging that oozes British pride and adds a modern touch to a classic favourite.

Bold Design for Bold Products: Overcoming Challenges and Celebrating Success

One of the key challenges was creating a design that would be eye-catching yet versatile across different retail environments. Our team had to consider various sausage packaging ideas to ensure Alf Turner’s products would stand out on both traditional and specialty shelves. With the Headbanger Sausages, which feature a collaboration with Iron Maiden’s Trooper Beer, we faced the additional challenge of merging the two brands seamlessly. By incorporating elements that appeal to both rock enthusiasts, ale and food lovers, we achieved a packaging design that amplifies the product’s boldness and draws in fans of both Alf Turner and Iron Maiden.

The success of Alf Turner’s packaging is a testament to the power of thoughtful design in elevating a product’s market presence.
