ELEVEN Australia

Deep blue open jar with emphatic hold-first typography

Strong Hold Styling Paste puts the performance name ahead of the maker on a low deep-blue jar. Large cream STRONG HOLD capitals run across the front wall, with a thinner STYLING PASTE line beneath and a small ELEVEN Australia signature toward the right. The selected image shows the jar open on its detached matching lid, exposing a pale paste swirl and the threaded neck. Bright direct light reveals the smooth container while a yellow-orange towel supplies an external contrast color. The pack itself stays largely blue and cream.

Color Palette

Approximate colours interpreted from photography. These are screen references, not official brand colours or print specifications.

Pack body

Deep teal blue
#075D78
Approximate jar and lid color, ranging from bright teal edges to dark blue shadows under the strong directional light.

Ink

Pale cream lettering
#DCDCC9
Shared title, descriptor, maker and supporting copy tone. The visible paste is also pale, but is contents rather than a second printed graphic layer.

Typography

Suggested visual alternatives, not confirmed brand typefaces. Any scale below is an illustrative estimate.

STRONG HOLD is the largest and heaviest reading line, followed immediately by STYLING PASTE in a lighter uppercase sans. The title spans the jar's curved wall, so letters at the edges recede in perspective. A tiny bilingual explanation occupies the lower left, while the small maker mark and quantity sit toward the lower right. The emphasis is practical: hold level and product form lead; maker identification signs the system. This is not a title-case display or a decorative script treatment.

Structure & Proportions

Visual proportions and finish previews are illustrative. Confirmed construction details and uncertainties are distinguished in the study notes.

Proportions

Purpose	Value	Preview
Broad short reading surface	The jar provides width for a long horizontal title but little vertical depth, favoring tightly organized successive text rows.	—
Wide access opening	The open mouth occupies most of the vessel's width, with the blue threaded rim forming a narrow border around the pale contents.	—
Lid relationship	The detached lid is broad and shallow, repeating the body's circular footprint. Its apparent size is affected by placement closer to the camera.	—
Type-weight division	The hold line is visually dense, while the category line below is thinner and more open; this contrast matters as much as nominal size.	—

Shapes

Element	Value	Preview
Jar body	Low cylindrical body with rounded shoulder transition into a threaded neck.
Open mouth	Broad circular opening seen as an ellipse in the angled photograph.
Detached lid	Shallow round cover with a concentric inset/ridge and faint central maker detail.
Text system	Horizontal rows following the curved jar wall with separate small lower-left and lower-right groups.

Finishes

Formats and materials


Formats	Low wide styling-paste jar; official US product page identifies the product as 3 oz
Materials	Jar and matching lid appear as smooth opaque blue components. Exact resin, recycled content and barrier construction are not specified in the accessed product details., The pale paste is visible through the open mouth, but neither its photographed scoop nor the apparent fill line establishes net weight or a physical consistency measurement.
Closures	The lid is detached and lies beneath the jar. Threads are clearly visible around the open neck, supporting a screw-closure reading rather than merely guessing from a closed silhouette. The lid's top has a circular inset or ridge and subtle same-color maker relief. Its underside, liner and seal are not visible, so leak resistance and internal construction remain unknown.
Decoration	Large uppercase hold descriptor, Lighter uppercase product-form line, Small bilingual explanation on lower left, Compact maker and net-weight information toward lower right, Subtle same-color maker mark on detached lid

Front Panel

Schematic reading order. The diagram’s zone heights do not represent measured artwork proportions.

The front uses the jar's width for a large practical message, then organizes smaller information beneath it. Hold and product form sit together on the left-to-middle reading area, while the maker occupies the lower-right region rather than replacing the main title. There is no separate contrasting paper-colored label panel visible. Whether the cream copy is directly printed or carried on a matching transparent/colored label is not established. Curvature limits the amount readable from any one angle, so the photograph should not be treated as a full wrap map.

Zone	Content
Hold descriptor	STRONG HOLD is the dominant cream line and the first product differentiation cue.
Product form	STYLING PASTE follows in thin uppercase lettering, explaining the physical styling format without another graphic device.
Small explanation	Short English and French lines sit low on the left. The mentioned matte result concerns the styling product's intended finish, not the jar's surface.
Maker signature	Compact ELEVEN Australia lettering sits toward the right under the title area, with smaller quantity information below.
Lid identity	A subtle same-blue maker detail appears on the lid top, adding a secondary identity surface when the sidewall is not facing the viewer.

Range System

The official page confirms Strong Hold Styling Paste, but only this blue open jar is visually examined. No complete hold-level color code or universal jar construction is established. An original styling family could use a stable maker position and clear performance-led naming, provided each product remains identifiable in words rather than through color alone.

Keep hold level and product form distinct so a shopper can distinguish a strong paste from another format with the same hold.
Retain a small maker signature in a predictable place when performance naming leads.
For additional jar sizes, adjust the typography to the available circumference instead of forcing a long title into a narrow front view.

Back of Pack & Shelf

The photograph reveals the lid top and threaded neck, but not the reverse wrap, lid underside or jar base. The visible front is not enough to locate complete directions, ingredients or batch information.

Inspect the reverse and underside before mapping the entire information system.
Keep net weight separate from volume terminology when transcribing the official 3 oz size.
Verify the liner and tamper-evident arrangement through an appropriate opened reference rather than the lid's outer appearance.

On shelf

Interpretively, the broad blue-and-cream name can give a low jar useful visibility among taller hair products. The large hold term may be read before the maker, which suits performance-based selection. On a shelf viewed from above, however, the subdued same-color lid identity may be less legible than the front. An independent design should therefore consider both top and side views, and test whether the lighter category line survives smaller display sizes and curved-wall reflections.

Imagery

The open jar is propped above its detached lid against a pale wall and surface. A yellow-orange terry towel enters at right, adding a warm complementary accent and a bathroom context. Hard directional light produces crisp shadows and small bright reflections on the blue container. The pale paste swirl supplies a tactile product cue, but the image does not establish an exact scoop amount or dispensing ritual. The towel's orange is deliberately excluded from the on-pack palette.

Guidelines

Editorial principles for an original design brief, not official brand guidelines.

Do

Distinguish hold level from product form.
Use type weight as a hierarchy tool on a shallow jar.
Study top and side visibility together.
Describe visible screw threads as evidence while qualifying hidden seals.
Separate product finish wording from container finish.

Don't

Do not add the towel's orange to the printed palette.
Do not describe net-weight ounces as fluid volume.
Do not claim a specific resin from opaque blue appearance.
Do not assume text is readable around the entire jar from one angle.
Do not copy the source maker signature and exact type arrangement.

The visible paste is also pale, but is contents rather than a second printed graphic layer. Invent a different hold/form combination and maker. Choose a new dominant vessel color. Keep the functional reading order clear. Include a legible independent lid identity. Image prompt: Create an original fictional styling cream called FLEXIBLE SHAPE for maker FORM ROOM. Use a low wide plum-colored jar with pale cream type, a strong uppercase performance line and a lighter Styling Cream descriptor. Place an original small maker signature on a separate lower strip and a clearly readable lid-top name. Show the jar closed beside a small neutral cream swatch on a plain grey surface, avoiding the source blue jar, orange towel and exact ELEVEN lettering. Use an independent design and do not reproduce existing logos, unsupported performance claims or invented recycled-material badges. ## Study sources & limitations - [ELEVEN Australia — Strong Hold Styling Paste 3 oz](https://elevenaustralia.com/products/strong-hold-styling-paste-3-oz) - Exact resin, recycled content and decoration process unknown. - Lid relief process, liner and seal not established. - Original typefaces and dimensions unverified. - Reverse and underside unseen; scoop amount and performance not assessed. ### Evidence notes - **edition (source):** Official listing identifies Strong Hold Styling Paste in 3 oz format.
