We’re really excited to share that Module (@module.roast ) has won first place at the 2026 Dieline Awards for Best Tea & Coffee Packaging. It’s been great to see the boxes on show in New York alongside so many other strong projects.
Thanks to Dieline (@thedieline ) for hosting, and a special thank you to all of our partners who helped make the project possible (listed below).
Across the system, the packaging is grounded in utility and material honesty, designed to be continuously repeated while remaining open to change. Consistency comes from structure and process, while evolution is introduced through detail, allowing each release to feel both familiar and unique.
You can find out more through our case study or via the Dieline article, links in bio.

We’ve been a little quieter here over the past few months while working on a number of new projects that we can't wait to share.
In the meantime, here’s a closer look at the identity and packaging system we developed for jewellery designer Heather Woof (@heatherwoofjewellery ).

Guided by precision and the exploration of flavour, Module is a deliberately small team of experts pushing boundaries in the coffee industry. Each coffee is released in limited quantities and never repeated.
We developed a flexible visual identity and packaging system that shaped the brand’s wider presence, from tone of voice to the website which will be launching soon.
For the packaging, we collaborated with Consult and worked closely with G.F Smith to source archived papers from their collection. The result is an eclectic colour palette that reflects the exclusive nature of each release while making use of materials that might otherwise have gone unused.
Full case study coming soon.

Heather Woof is an Edinburgh-based jewellery designer. As part of a wider identity and packaging project, we created printed collection guides using Offenbach Bible 80gsm. To protect these, each is housed in a paper folder, creating a numbered archive of past collections. Full project case study coming soon.
