REDESIGNING KLINT, THE SWEDISH QUALITY NICOTINE POUCHES

Designed to break away

Klint isn’t your average nicotine pouch. It's white, tobacco-free, and made to fit a modern lifestyle – clean, active, on the move. But as competition grew louder and global ambitions bolder, it was time for a redesign that could keep up. Neumeister was brought in to sharpen the identity, refine the packaging, and give the brand the visual impact it needed – not just on shelf, but on the racing circuit too.

A new generation of nicotine

Born in Sweden and developed by Habit Factory, Klint is shaped by a mindset of precision, passion and the will to challenge convention. The goal from the outset was clear: to create a premium, tobacco-free pouch that delivers a clean nicotine experience with style. Available in slim or mini portions, Klint comes in a wide range of strengths and flavours – from icy mint to tropical blends – made to suit a global, health-conscious audience on the move.

Tested at full speed

The turning point came on the racetrack. As the main sponsor of the Klint Forward Factory Moto2 team, Klint needed a visual identity that could hold its own at 300 km/h. The original wordmark was too light, too discreet – disappearing in the high-speed world of racing. Moto2 turned out to be a live test lab for bolder branding, and confirmed what was already clear: Klint needed to make a stronger impact, both on the track and on the shelf.

Motion in every letter

The wordmark was completely reimagined to convey motion, strength and precision. Built on a custom typeface with cut angles, directional shapes and a subtle forward tilt, it captures the speed and confidence at the core of the brand. It’s instantly recognisable, works across formats and surfaces – bold, clear, and unmistakably Klint.

Leading the way in WorldWCR

As part of Klint’s commitment to racing inclusivity, the Klint Forward Factory Team proudly features María Herrera and Roberta Ponziani, two of the leading riders in the inaugural FIM Women's Circuit Racing World Championship. Herrera, a MotoE standout since 2019, joined Klint in WorldWCR’s first season and immediately made her mark by topping testing sessions and consistently scoring podiums. Ponziani followed suit with her breakthrough win at Cremona – another podium for the team.

In position for Moto2

To ensure maximum visibility, Klint’s identity was carefully applied across every surface – from bikes to leathers and racing gear. Every placement was considered, every angle accounted for. A bold, unified presence developed by Neumeister.

Order in the mint chaos

Polar Mint. Freeze Mint. Breeze Mint. The flavour range may be dominated by mint, but each variant needed its own space – and its own shade. We developed a colour system that signals mint across the board, while giving each can a clear, distinctive character. To bring clarity to an extensive portfolio, we also introduced a sharper hierarchy: brand first, flavour second, strength third.

From Scandinavia to the world

Outside of Scandinavia, the palette expands further – from Bali Tropica in Asia to Cinnamon in the US – each one matched with a colour made to stand out, wherever the brand goes. For racing events, we created a dedicated Racing Edition: a bold, mint-green and black can with zero nicotine, designed for visibility, impact, and free distribution on the track.
