Nestlé UK Revives Retro Packaging for Alzheimer’s Society Project

Nestle Retro Packaging

Last month, a very interesting (and in my opinion, inspiring) project was announced by Nestle UK & Ireland. The company announced they were working with the UK-based Alzheimer’s Society to help people with memory disorders connect with happy memories of their past.

Alison Cook, of Alzheimer’s Society explained, “Even something as simple as an old sweet wrapper can bring back vivid memories from a happy time”.

The ‘reminiscence pack’ contains items collected from the Nestlé UK & Ireland Archive, and includes wrappers, tin labels, posters, and a board game from such historic brands such as Rowntree, Carnation, Nescafe and Nesquik.

The project is now being tested by the Alzheimer’s Society in two support groups. You can download PDFs of the retro-packaging at Nestle.
