A Packaging Trend Strong as Steel

Written By Melanie Chrisman

Steel yourself for this first packaging trend. PURE STEEL. Personally, we feel that metallic finishes aren’t just a flash in the stainless steel pan. (OK, OK! I’m done with the puns of steel! I promise!)

This trend is EVERYWHERE! Shiny chrome finishes, brushed metallic foil and paper wraps, modern sans-serif fonts, and even veering into the Y2K Aesthetic are all great ways to embrace this packaging trend. Here at Prestar, you could say we’ve been ahead of the curve since we have a few examples from past years that I’m really excited to share.

62nd Primetime Emmy Awards Box

This was a REALLY fun one to work on. It has a very cool carbon fiber wrap, with the details embossed in a chrome finish. This is the epitome of this Pure Steel trend.

Brushed Silver Metallic Gift Card Box

Our sister company, Creative Carding, released these amazing Brushed Silver Metallic gift card boxes. It’s absolutely perfect for this trend.
