5Man Rebrand Packaging by Snask
Visual Identity And Can Packaging For A Swedish Microbrewery
Snask created a new identity and packaging system for 5MAN, a microbrewery from Borlänge founded by five friends. The concept centers on a logo designed as a flexible placeholder that can be filled with content to reveal and celebrate the beer inside the can. This modular approach turns the mark into a window, allowing each release to showcase its unique character while maintaining strong brand cohesion. The scalable system supports small-batch variety without compromising recognizability, aligning with 5MAN’s focus on quality and uniqueness. Deliverables included the core identity and can packaging, with design by Jens Nilsson and photography by Golden Retriever.
