# Vacuum-Packed Bed Sheets Catch the Touch's Bedding Package is Sealed for Freshness By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2015-02-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bedding-package References: [thedieline](http://www.thedieline.com/blog/2015/2/5/catch-the-touch) & [depotwpf](http://depotwpf.com/) A bedding package rarely has a design that makes you look twice, but this one from Catch the Touch is an exception. Inspired by the way food is sealed tightly for freshness, this line of bedding is packaged in the same manner. As Depot WPF's designers describe: "Vacuum packaging is usually associated with such products as cold cuts (meat, fish, etc.). We proposed to emphasize its appearance and aesthetic qualities." In addition to being vacuum-sealed, the bedding sheets are paired with blocks of text made from cardboard to evoke a particular mood or feeling. Although the packaging seems to be more playful than suggestive in terms of looks, the tactile experience puts an emphasis on moments that are sensuous and intriguing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Vacuum-packed Bedding:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the vacuum-packaging technique in other industries such as clothing or home furnishings for freshness and space-saving. - **Creative Packaging:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Apply unique and playful packaging designs to enhance product appeal and create a memorable consumer experience. - **Tactile Experiences:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop products that prioritize sensory engagement to evoke specific emotions and enhance customer satisfaction. ### Who This Affects Most - **Bedding:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate vacuum-sealed packaging in the bedding industry to offer long-lasting freshness and convenience. - **Clothing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implement vacuum-packaging for clothing items to optimize storage space and maintain garment quality. - **Home Furnishings:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Experiment with vacuum-sealed packaging in the home furnishings market to enhance product preservation and enable efficient shipping. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Timesaving Bedding Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duvet-and-sheet-set.md) - [Reengineered Fitted Flat Sheets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/better-fit-bedding.md) - [Beauty-Supporting Bed Sheets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eucalyptus-bedding.md) - [Tradition-Inspired Bed Sheets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timeless-bed-sheet.md) - [Versatile Sheet Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sheet-organizer-linen-closet-organization-bedding-storage-bedroom-storage.md) - [Paper-Wrapped Mattresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earthfoam.md) - [Lightweight Soft-Body Underbed Storage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seasonal-storage.md) - [High-Performance Bedding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highperformance-bedding.md) - [Refreshing Mint-Infused Bed Sheets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mynt-lab.md)
