Trade Supply Co.
apothecary
packaging
Trade Supply Co asked nvsble to redesign the labels for all its handmade apothecary products. The previous labels were all the same color and were difficult to identify in reference to fragrances. So, nvsble color-coded the labels in an effort to make finding the desired fragrance easier for the customer.
Trade's tagline is "Rugged Sophistication" and the labels needed to embody this, visually. The intention was to design a visual language that felt both bold and masculine, yet refined.
All of Trade's apothecary products are handmade in-house from locally-sourced repurposed beer hops.

the
cutlass
The first project nvsble did for Trade Supply Co. was inspired by a pen. But, not just any pen. Trade asked for an alternative option for packaging than what was being used, so nvsble accepted the challenge and then wrote a description worthy of this incredible instrument.
The Cutlass.
Made from raw U.S. Navy-tested brass, The Cutlass is naturally anti-microbial and will work anywhere on this earth and beyond. It is ergonomically machined with a bolt-action mechanism while housing a Fisher Space Pen ink cartridge to ensure a flawless performance even under the most extreme conditions. This tool will not fail.
The Cutlass was designed to save lives — equipped with an interchangeable glass-breaker that could provide an escape from a submerged vehicle or other compromised structure. More importantly, a portion of all sales supports suicide prevention and substance abuse recovery efforts for U.S. Veterans.
It's been said the pen is mightier than the sword. We say The Cutlass is both.
