Zespri aimed to strengthen its brand presence and connect with health-conscious consumers and families across diverse regions. The challenge was to deliver creative and emotionally engaging promotional merchandise that could scale across multiple countries while ensuring brand consistency and efficient fulfilment.
Colgate partnered with DTC World to tap into our expertise in IP licensing, design, and end-to-end production.
Zespri partnered with DTC World to produce and deliver custom promotional merchandise items—Zespri plush toys and eco-friendly reusable foldable bags—across several international markets.
Featuring Zespri’s iconic mascot, the plush toys were cute, collectible, and ideal for retail and roadshows; boosting engagement and social sharing.
Practical, reusable shopping bags with bold branding, aligning with Zespri’s values and delivering everyday utility.
The goal was to create merchandise that was not only visually aligned with Zespri’s identity, but also:
Appealing to both children and adults
Collectible and functional for everyday use
Capable of scaling across multiple countries
Both items were crafted with care to reflect Zespri’s fun, health-forward positioning, while offering practical value and emotional resonance—key factors in driving consumer uptake and brand recall.
