When ABWF came to us to say that Tesco were celebrating 30 years of ClubCard, we jumped at the opportunity to create some retro packs inspired from the 90s (was it really 30 years ago?!). We delved into the archives, travelling back in time through design trends, marvelling & reminiscing at branding, advertising and products gone by.

When we landed back in 2025, it was time to get to work. We needed to create that quintessential classic Pataks look, which would invoke everyone’s nostalgia & years of love for the brand, but brought up to date so it didn’t just look like something which had been at the back of the cabinet since 1995. Retro modern designs are all the rage now, so we took inspiration from ‘looking back to look forward’ style rebrands as well as beyond packaging in fashion, technology and music. We used the more ornate Indian-inspired details of the old packs, combined with fresh poppy colours and a clean modern holding device to balance the new and old.
The final result is totally old-school cool - clearly harkening back to the 90s while still reflecting the modern brand it is today. Tesco and ABWF couldn’t have been more happy with the results, saying the packs were some of the best examples for the campaign.
