# Trapezoidal Headset Branding Chromatone Headphones Packaging is Sliced for a Sneak Peek Inside By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-06-01 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chromatone-headphones-packaging References: [thedieline](http://www.thedieline.com/blog/2012/5/30/cs40s-chromatone.html) & [ifrogz](http://www.ifrogz.com/) The convenience of adopting a regular box shape to contain a cool product is outweighed by the boredom consumers will feel when looking at it on the shelf. Chromatone headphones packaging embodies the best of both worlds with a simple rectangular composition of folded plastic and an angular sleeve that introduces some visual intrigue. The design was done in-house by Connary Fagen of [iFrogz](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/workout-earbuds) for their popular [Ear Pollution audio accessory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disruptive-headphone). The mod music-listeners come in a spectrum of bright colors to complement their contemporary manufacturing. Such eye-catching commodities deserve impactful merchandizing! A card covering with a diagonal edge is slipped over part of the transparent Chromatone headphones packaging for a little drama and a sneaky look at the headset within. The sleeves are printed in matching shades to their corresponding products and labeled with bold and simplified typefaces. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Angular Packaging Design:** Opportunity for brands to create visually intriguing packaging that stands out on the shelf. - **Sneak Peek Packaging:** Opportunity for brands to incorporate elements that allow consumers to get a glimpse of the product inside, adding excitement and intrigue. - **Bold and Simplified Labeling:** Opportunity for brands to use bold and simplified typefaces on packaging to create a modern and eye-catching aesthetic. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Consumer Electronics:** Opportunity for consumer electronics companies to differentiate their products through unique and visually appealing packaging designs. - **Fashion Accessories:** Opportunity for fashion accessory brands to enhance their packaging to create a more memorable and exciting unboxing experience. - **Retail Merchandising:** Opportunity for retailers to revamp their product presentation by incorporating innovative packaging design elements that attract attention and drive sales. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Haute Silicone Headphone Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comfortably-headphones.md) - [Visible Component Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nothing-head-1.md) - [Vibrantly Re-Designed Tea Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chay-tea.md) - [Modern Design-Forwrd Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tozo.md) - [Contoured Ear-Hugging Headphone Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earbugs.md) - [Stylish See-Through Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bang-olufsen-beoplay-clear.md) - [Headband Display Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boinc-headphones.md) - [Ergonomic Eco-Friendly Drink Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tetra-prisma-aseptic-300-edge.md) - [3d-Printed Headphone Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tangled-headphones-1.md)
