The box was designed for Grapple, a company that is clearly up for experimentation. The finished design of the box uses simple geometry to fold neatly into a [protective shape for a single apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruit-snack-cups). From the outside, there's text to indicate that there's a Grapple inside, but the prints play off the look of an apple. Once the packaging is opened, the insides of the box reveal a [purple grape print](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boombites), showing off the true nature of Grapple. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Hybrid Fruit Packaging:** Designing packaging that showcases the unique characteristics of hybrid fruits. - **Experimentation in Fruit Hybrids:** Exploring innovative combinations of different fruits to create new and exciting products. - **Enhanced Product Identification:** Developing packaging designs that aid in easily identifying unique products. ### Where This Applies - **Food Packaging:** An industry that can explore creative and functional packaging solutions for hybrid fruit products. - **Fruit Hybridization:** An industry focused on researching and developing new hybrid fruit varieties. - **Printing and Packaging Design:** An industry that can contribute to innovative packaging designs that enhance product identification. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Convenient Cherry Tomato Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/special-edition-cherry-tomato.md) - [Interactive Fruit Juice Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jus-de-fruits-caraibes.md) - [Flavorful Branded Table Grapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sun-world-international.md) - [Vibrant Organic Product Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruit-bliss.md) - [Wine-Infused Chocolate Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vine-to-bar-chocolate.md) - [Antioxidant-Rich Hybrid Berry Grapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boombites-red-berry-grapes.md) - [Interactive Juice Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gulf-union-foods.md) - [Eye-Catching Fruit Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dole-sunshine-company-packaging.md) - [Party-Ready Grape Punches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beatbox-beverages-mystic-grape.md)
