Abby Brewster is a recent design graduate from Atlanta. She’s put together this great solution to packaging Cheese stylishly and informatively.

Bridge Street Fromagerie is a family-owned cheese shop located in historic Lambertville, NJ. A series of dual-purpose adhesive labels were designed to secure the cheese’s paper wrapping and to act as informational guides for the customers. Identifying individual characteristics of the cheese as well as suggested alcohol pairings, the labels provide Bridge Street’s cheesemongers with an additional means to share their knowledge with the shop’s customers.
