# Colorful Ramekin Cartons One Pot Packaging Resembles Bouillon Bowls for a Homemade Impression By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-03-11 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cook-one-pot-packaging References: [thedieline](http://www.thedieline.com/blog/2013/3/11/crit-cooks-one-pot.html) & [lovecreative](http://www.lovecreative.com/work/cook/one-pots-packaging) The incorporation of stickers, labels, and cardboard and plastic wrapping instantly designates a food item as something that's been commercially made. This is not usually the most enticing quality of potential meal. One Pot packaging contains a different sort of supper than what you would typically find at the grocery store: one that's made from the same delicious ingredients that are found in a well-stocked, health-conscious fridge. To emphasize this home-cooked grade of [single-serving international cuisines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunbird), Love Creative opted to mimic the appearance of [small ceramic dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thermal-serving-dish) through One Pot packaging. Rounded containers are enveloped in [paper covers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paperseal-shape) that have been drawn up with the illusion of embossed lines and lettering. The sketched lids and bases in a variety of shades look just like the ramekins in your cupboard. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## 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 - **Homemade Food Packaging:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Create packaging that mimics the appearance of homemade ceramic dishes to provide a more enticing quality for potential meals. - **Single-serving International Cuisines:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Develop packaging solutions that showcase the authenticity and quality of single-serving international cuisines to attract health-conscious consumers. - **Illusion of Embossed Lines and Lettering:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Incorporate visual elements like embossed lines and lettering on packaging to enhance the perception of premium, artisanal food products. ### Where This Applies - **Food Packaging:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Explore innovative materials and designs for food packaging that enhance the homemade and authentic appeal of the products. - **Ready-to-eat Meals:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Create convenient packaging solutions for single-serving international cuisines that emphasize their quality and freshness. - **Creative Packaging Design:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Combine design elements like the illusion of embossed lines and lettering with innovative packaging solutions to create visually appealing and unique product presentations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Culinary Brand Packaging Redesigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mousline.md) - [Modernized Soup Packaging Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specialty-products.md) - [Sustainable Food Packaging Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/placon-crystal-seal-delectables.md) - [Paper-Made Porridge Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quaker-porridge-pots.md) - [Recyclable Noodle Pot Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recyclable-noodle-pot.md) - [Paper-Based Instant Noodle Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-pot-design.md) - [Design-Conscious Food Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omi-pod-food-container.md) - [Convenient Cherry Tomato Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/special-edition-cherry-tomato.md) - [Combinational On-the-Go Food Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beltur-go.md)
