THE RETRO RENAISSANCE

Legacy brands are reviving their original logos, typography, and design cues to reconnect with consumers emotionally.
Nouveau art deco
The 1920s are back, and they’re bringing opulence, symmetry, and geometric elegance to premium packaging.
Pschychedlic pop
A blast of 60s and Pop Art energy, with bold colors, trippy patterns, and Andy Warhol-esque graphics. Expect to see high-voltage, eye-catching designs in sectors like beverages and cosmetics.
THE BOLD & THE PLAYFUL
Wes Anderson-like
Perfectly curated color palettes, nostalgic symmetry, and whimsical storytelling. Packaging now feels like a scene from a cinematic masterpiece, making it ultra-memorable.
Simple shapes & shades
Primary colors, geometric minimalism, and stripped-back typography create unmissable shelf presence. Brands are embracing punchy, high-contrast packaging that demands attention
THE SHAPE OF INNOVATION
Cubic pack
Square, compact packaging isn’t just aesthetic—it’s practical. It stacks better, ships more efficiently, and reduces waste.
Solo but not alone
Brands are going all in on one ultra-memorable brand element—a single logo, shape, or symbol that does all the talking. The result? Instant recognition and visual impact.
THE CULTURAL CODES
Cultural bridges
Local artistry and traditions are shaping premium packaging, helping brands connect with global audiences in a meaningful way.
