What is the Sentimentally Packaged trend?
Sentimentally Packaged: Tapping into the discriminating DIY market that traditionally shuns prepackaged varieties, brands are adopting a more old-fashioned form of packaging that makes use of household containers and rustic vessels to convey domesticity. While also appealing to the consumer with a preference for organic varieties, the branding technique conveys a simplistic, no-nonsense approach that establishes a more grassroots-based level of consumer-brand trust.
