# Low-Cost Eco Cup Packaging The Bevel Cup Packaging Encapsulates the Angles of the Product By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-06-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cup-packaging References: [packagingoftheworld](http://www.packagingoftheworld.com/2016/01/bevel-cup-concept.html) & [nanoin.cn](http://nanoin.cn/) Created by NANOIN design, the Bevel Cup packaging is intended to be an [economical means of shipping the cup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tray-pods) that's also focused on sustainability. The packaging is created using [pulp casting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paperseal-pressed), which makes use of materials that are [easily recycled](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/placon-crystal-seal-delectables) to help ensure they don't stick around for hundreds (or thousands) of years like plastic varieties. The Bevel Cup packaging features a somewhat ergonomic aesthetic that hugs all the different curves of the cup to ensure that damage is not inflicted during the shipping process. Moreover, the oblong shape of the packaging helps it to stand out from other designs rather than simply blending in to the background. The packaging design is the winner of several awards in Taiwan and in China. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Low-cost Packaging:** Low-cost packaging solutions that emphasize sustainability and materials recyclability. - **Ergonomic Packaging:** Packaging designs that prioritize the protection of products during the shipping process through ergonomic aesthetics. - **Oblong Packaging:** Packaging with unique oblong shapes that make it stand out from other designs. ### Where This Applies - **Packaging Industry:** Opportunities for the packaging industry to develop low-cost, sustainable packaging solutions. - **Eco-friendly Materials Industry:** Opportunities for the development and promotion of easily recyclable and sustainable materials for packaging. - **Shipping and Logistics Industry:** Opportunities to enhance product protection during shipping through innovative and ergonomic packaging designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ergonomic Eco-Friendly Drink Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tetra-prisma-aseptic-300-edge.md) - [Bamboo Hot Beverage Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celebration-packaging.md) - [Accordion-Style Coffee Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accordion-paper-cup.md) - [Biotransformable Cup Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/verigreen.md) - [All-In-One Compostable Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-butterfly-cup.md) - [Durable Egg Packaging Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egg-packaging1.md) - [Eco-Friendly Instant Noodle Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-cup-packaging.md) - [Tech-Enabled Reusable Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caulicups.md) - [Bio-Based Single-Use Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/verigreen-plus.md)
