2. Design and Branding Trends
Minimalist Designs
Simple, clean designs with eco-friendly messaging are gaining traction. This trend aligns with waste reduction while reinforcing a brand’s commitment to sustainability. Expect to see packaging that emphasises the food itself rather than excessive branding.
