TRIOS turning on the taste!
For the past year and a half TRIOS WRAPS has been mapping the consumer journey and have examined every customer touch point (from interiors to packaging). After a little nip and tuck, they have unwrapped their new brand direction. This includes a deeper, earthier colour palette and an array of finishes that can be aptly described as 'grunge' chic'. Appealing to Gen X and Gen Y, TRIOS WRAPS have also 'turned on the taste'. The company has re-examined every recipe and taste profile - and promised to be true to each - whether it's heat, punch or flavour! The menu offering has also been slightly altered subject to location, but has been created to service the breakfast, lunch, snacking and dinner trade.
