"Shelf Appeal - 1935 / 36" - UK packaging designs as chosen for Penrose Annual 1937
What a marvellous selection of packaging - and to be honest, many of these designs would look good on shelves today. A few of the names survive - Brown & Polson (just, and a 'name' rather than company) and Aero, although sadly Rowntrees has vanished. Monk & Glass was a brand custard and jelly powders, manufactured by Monkhouse and Glasscock - the Monkhouse family giving us the comedian Bob Monkhouse.
Sadly no designers are noted, and I only know one for certain - the Kardomah 'Kee-mun' china tea box and label was by Bernard Griffin. Well, I did only know one - I'm now a bit more certain that the Pulvex packets may well be by Milner Gray RDI and Joseph Revill of the Industrial Design Partnership.
