The Coke Zero Zero packaging redesign has launched in Iceland, where Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) introduced new black packaging for the caffeine-free, sugar-free Coca-Cola variant.

The updated design aligns the product with the wider Coca-Cola Zero product family, using a black packaging format to improve recognition and shelf consistency across the Zero range.

Coca-Cola Europacific Partners said the caffeine-free variant is aimed at consumption occasions later in the day, such as evening meals, when consumers may want the Coca-Cola taste without caffeine.

The product remains part of the broader Coca-Cola Zero portfolio, which includes sugar-free and caffeine-free options positioned as alternatives to standard Coca-Cola products. The redesign focuses on clearer differentiation within the Zero range at retail level.

Changing beverage consumption patterns, particularly increased demand for sugar-free and caffeine-free drinks, have led beverage companies to expand low- and no-sugar portfolios and adjust packaging to make product variants easier to identify on shelves.

The new packaging is being introduced in the Iceland market, with the product continuing to be positioned within the Zero segment of the carbonated soft drinks category.

Why it matters

The Coke Zero Zero packaging redesign reflects how beverage companies are segmenting the soft drinks category more clearly, particularly across sugar-free and caffeine-free variants, which are a growing part of the FMCG beverage market.

For retailers, clearer packaging differentiation helps shoppers identify product variants more quickly on shelves, which can support category navigation and product positioning within the soft drinks aisle.

Editor’s Note: Coke Zero Zero is a sugar-free and caffeine-free Coca-Cola variant. The packaging redesign has been introduced in Iceland by Coca-Cola Europacific Partners as part of the Coca-Cola Zero product range positioning.
