West + Wilder is a brand sold exclusively in cans. The product is available in boxes of three. The design of the cans is simple and elegant featuring detailed plant illustrations on the face. The artwork wraps completely around the can allowing lots of space to detail the brand inspiration—West coast states including California, Oregon, and Washington—and to highlight their contribution in support of preserving wild public spaces.
