As a brand that specializes in creating innovative garments for kids with a focus on waste reduction, Petit Pli created a simple shipping box that can be transformed into a wearable jetpack for children. This object is not just an imaginative plaything for kids but also a reference to the aerospace engineering techniques used by the brand in its designs. The clever [cardboard box design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-moving-box-table) reduces the packaging cost per unit by more than 80%, thanks to the fact that it integrates pleated tissue paper created from a by-product and a string fastener that can be reused to make the jetpack wearable. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Sustainable Packaging:** Creating wearable packaging solutions that reduce waste and provide added value to consumers. - **Circular Economy:** Designing products and packaging that can be repurposed and reused to reduce waste and promote sustainability. - **Innovative Shipping:** Developing new shipping methods that reduce costs and provide added value to consumers through creative product packaging. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Creating innovative garment packaging solutions that integrate design with sustainability, improving the customer experience while reducing waste. - **Toy Manufacturing:** Developing creative packaging solutions that double as toys, enhancing the product experience while also reducing waste and promoting sustainability. - **Aerospace Engineering:** Exploring how design innovations used in aerospace engineering can be applied to other industries, such as clothing and packaging, creating new opportunities for innovation and cost reduction. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Striking E-Commerce Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maksim-arbuzov.md) - [Camera-Equipped Delivery Parcels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/living-packets.md) - [Ultra-Slim Delivery Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flap-it.md) - [Reusable Golf Ball Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golf-ball-packaging.md) - [Pump-Up Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-biggies.md) - [Collapsible Plastic Shipping Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plastic-pallet-boxes.md) - [Upcycled Waste Material Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardboard-furniture-design.md) - [Origami-Inspired Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldibox-2.md) - [Soft Structural Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-project-ara.md)
