Brannigans’ iconic brown paper bag returns

United Biscuits

July 7 2009

To tap into the growing consumer trend for nostalgic brands, United Biscuits UK , a leading UK manufacturer of snacks, biscuits and cakes, has redesigned its Brannigans range to generate extra sales. Available now, the new design draws inspiration from the brand’s fondly remembered brown paper packaging.

Brown paper look

Returning to the look of the brown paper packaging, the redesign will continue to feature Mr Brannigan, but also emphasises Brannigans’ heritage, quality ingredients and nutritional upgrades. The range has had a 65% reduction in saturated fat.

18% growth

The range is available at an MRRP of 53p in 40g handy packs in the intense-flavoured Roast Beef and Mustard and Smoked Ham and Pickle flavours. Worth £2m RSV, Brannigans is growing by 18%, proving consumers are demanding proper thick cut crisps.

Helen Warren-Piper, Director of Bagged Snacks UBUK, commented: “Brannigans has always had a very loyal consumer base due to its strong British flavours and quality ingredients. There is a growing consumer demand for nostalgia brands and we feel that the new packaging will strike a chord with those who remember the old brown paper bag. Sales have grown strongly in the last year, so retailers should stock the brand for extra sales and profit.”
