VELO Snus in a new package design - rebranding 2024!

British American Tobacco has recently announced a rebranding initiative for its well-known line of VELO nicotine pouches, Weirdly Original. The modifications aim to enhance consumer clarity, with existing VELO pouches receiving new names and branding to refresh the line's appearance. Rest assured, while the branding evolves, the ingredients and quality will remain consistent, ensuring familiarity for users. Additionally, BAT is introducing fresh flavors and experiences to this popular nicotine pouch brand, enhancing the product range.

Vibrant Colors and Enhanced Brand Identity

The Weirdly Original range of VELO pouches will now feature distinctive colors instead of the conventional white hue. The inclusion of the 'V' in the 'VELO' logo aims to boost brand recognition, with designs emphasizing the varying strengths and flavors within each can. Stronger colors will signify heightened nicotine content or flavor intensity, simplifying the understanding of VELO pouches at a glance.

Addressing concerns regarding potential authenticity issues arising from diverse packaging, the uniform appearance across regions like the USA, UK, Sweden, Denmark, and Germany alleviates any doubts.
