GM GENUINE PARTS & ACDELCO

A Packaging Redesign That Drove 22% More Conversions

THE CHALLENGE

After 34 years without a major packaging update, ACDelco and GM Genuine Parts were due for a transformation. The brand’s OEM credibility was rock solid, but its visual identity hadn’t kept pace with evolving buyer behavior. With over 6,000 SKUs across global markets, the goal wasn’t just modernization—it was relevance. The next generation of buyers—technicians, retail customers, and DIYers—were looking for different information, delivered in smarter, faster ways.

THE SOLUTION

 We led the first full-scale global packaging redesign in over three decades—reengineering everything from hierarchy to design language. This wasn’t a facelift. It was a strategic reboot. Labels were optimized for speed, clarity, and education. Visual cues were added to guide next-gen buyers while honoring brand loyalists. The system balanced global consistency with regional flexibility, setting a new standard for what OEM packaging should be.

POSITIONING

The trusted OEM choice for pros who need reliability without question.

IDENTITY

Built a brand grounded in clarity, confidence, and performance under pressure, and retail sensibility for a new generation of enthusiasts.

DESIGN

Reimagined packaging for speed and usability with intuitive hierarchy and real-world readability for the modern buyer

THE RESULTS

The new system helped ACDelco and GM Genuine Parts reconnect with today’s buyers—without losing the trust of yesterday’s. Packaging now works harder, faster, and smarter across global channels, empowering customers at every level of the parts-buying journey.

OUR PROCESS

We embedded with parts buyers, shop techs, and fleet managers to understand how decisions are made today. From there, we developed intuitive design frameworks, revised labeling systems, and launched a full suite of in-store, digital, and fleet-ready assets. All of it grounded in usability and performance.

THE COMMON-SENSE ADVANTAGE™

 Today’s customers don’t flip boxes—they scan, scroll, and decide fast. We built packaging that moves at the speed of the modern shop.
