Heinz, the iconic global food brand, is celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2019. As part of the year long celebrations, Jones Knowles Ritchie, the design-led creative company, were asked to mark the occasion with a series of designs to commemorate this momentous occasion.Despite its place in kitchens far and wide, few know the unique and rich heritage of Heinz. As one of the first innovative food manufacturers in the world, the brand has an extensive history that has stretched across significant moments in time. JKR saw this anniversary as an opportunity to tell these stories, using inspiration from the brandâs archives to create three special celebratory editions of Heinz Beanz, Spaghetti and Cream of Tomato Soup.
Be it an accompaniment to mash and sausage, or the main event on a slice of toast, Heinz Beanz are a much-loved staple of many a kitchen cupboard. First launched in the UK in 1901, this firm favourite wasnât produced within the British Isles until 1928. JKRâs team recognised this as a significant moment in the UKâs culinary history and designed a label that celebrates this poignant time.
