Black River Meats’ two flagship products, the locally smoked bacon and uncured hot dogs have a more traditional color palette, making them versatile in the retail landscape. Their other products such as the kielbasa and sausages are differentiated with a pastel color palette, unique to Black River Meats. After a competitive audit, comparing similar products, we felt these colors really jump off the shelf when viewed next to the more muted colors of conventional meat brands.
