01 — The Challenge

One brand, five products, two languages

DAP has made professional-grade caulks, sealants, adhesives and repair products since 1865. Its Canadian team needed packaging labels for five products: Alex Plus, Kwik Seal, 100% Silicone, Dynaflex 230 and Ultra Clear.

Each product needed two labels, a backer card and a squeeze tube, adapted from DAP’s existing label system for Canadian packaging, with every line in both English and French.

02 — The Approach

Adapting a proven system

Reach worked with DAP’s Canadian team to adapt DAP’s existing label system for Canadian packaging, keeping every product recognisably DAP.

01

True to the brand

DAP’s existing layout, logo and product colours carried across every label.

02

Two formats

Backer cards and squeeze tube labels for every product.

03

Fully bilingual

English and French side by side, from product names and claims to uses and cautions.

04

Print-ready

Final files set up with bleed and trim for production.
