Independent brand and design agency Hulsbosch has unveiled a refreshed packaging design for Kleenex’s range of toilet tissue products.
Kimberly-Clark, the parent company of Kleenex, engaged Hulsbosch to evolve the brand’s packaging by leveraging its existing assets, including the iconic puppy, to strengthen Kleenex’s product proposition, modernise its visual identity and improve shelf presence.
The refreshed design architecture introduces a clearer hierarchy, simplifying on-pack information to make navigation easier for consumers.
The Kleenex redesign is a continuation of the long-standing strategic partnership between Hulsbosch and Kimberly-Clark, with the Sydney-based agency previously delivering international award winning work for brands such as U by Kotex, as well as Huggies and Depend.
Hulsbosch creative director Mikey Hart said the approach focused on elevating Kleenex’s distinctive assets while improving shelf navigation and product differentiation.
"The packaging balances modern design principles with the strong emotional connection consumers have with the puppy, which remains central to the brand’s identity," said Hart.
"By creating a clear and cohesive design architecture, we’ve helped ensure Kleenex continues to have a strong presence in the category.”
Kleenex’s brand manager at Kimberly-Clark, Leah King, said the refreshed packaging for Kleenex toilet tissue products reflects the commitment to keeping the brand relevant and consumer-focused.
"Hulsbosch has delivered a design that strengthens our proposition, enhances brand recall, and supports our ongoing efforts to drive premiumisation in the category," she said.
Kleenex toilet tissues are made in Australia since 1966 and the refreshed Hulsbosch packaging designs will roll out across the Complete Clean and Luxury Quilts ranges.
