Purity’s Rebranding

In 2001, Purity Bakeries took the decision to reorient the branding of its products into two main brands: Purity and Wonder. Each brand to have its own individual characteristics and personality. A decision was also taken to rebuild its image and while the Company was in the process of rebranding, it was decided that the image building and rebranding would take place simultaneously. As a result, each brand has its own logo and package design which is different and unique. The corporate logo representing the Company was retained unchanged.

Purity brand represents mainly white breads for regular consumption targeting the entire family as the wholesome family brand. Purity’s brand personality represents a mother figure, someone who is dependable and always there for the family. Purity products should be seen as being versatile and affordable, modern and hip. Purity brand encompasses products such as: Ol’ time special bajan salt breads, Regular white sandwiches, Machine loaf, Large choice, Dinner rolls, Vienna loaf, Hot dog rolls, Hamburger buns and the Purity Pleasures range of different breads bimonthly.
