# Printmaking Wine Bottles This Wine Bottle Helps to Create a DIY Wrapping Paper Print By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2017-12-21 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-wrapping-paper-print References: [packagingoftheworld](http://www.packagingoftheworld.com/2017/12/roll-on-christmas.html) & [buddycreative](http://www.buddycreative.com/work-branding-packaging-graphic-design-agency-exeter-devon-uk/) For the creation of a [seasonal bottle of mulled wine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renais-festive-lantern-edition), [Buddy Creative](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buddy-mood-lamp) created a fun and festive bottle that can also be used to create a DIY wrapping paper print for wrapping gifts. To create a lively, seasonal print, Buddy Creative commissioned illustrator Kate Forrester to make a [seamless, repeating pattern](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hennessy-and-florian-zumbrunn). This pattern of bunches of grapes, citrus slices, flowers and leaves was laser-engraved into rubber and wrapped around the body of the bottle. The multipurpose wine bottles were sent by Buddy Creative with seasonal wishes and a set of instructions for printing. A growing number of packaged products are being more thoughtfully designed to include built-in second uses, considering how an empty vessel might be useful after its contents have been emptied. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 93% | 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Multipurpose Packaging:** Opportunity for creating packaging that serves a second use, enhancing the user experience and creating additional value. - **DIY Printmaking:** Potential for products that encourage consumers to engage in creative activities, such as printing their own designs. - **Sustainable Packaging:** Demand for eco-friendly packaging solutions that reduce waste and encourage recycling. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Packaging Industry:** Innovations in packaging materials and designs to create multipurpose and sustainable packaging solutions. - **Arts and Crafts Industry:** Opportunity to create products and services that cater to consumers' interest in DIY printmaking and creative activities. - **Beverage Industry:** Potential for beverage brands to differentiate themselves by offering packaging that doubles as a creative tool and enhances the user experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pulp-Based Wine Wraps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perrier-jouet-1.md) - [Quirky Paper Wine Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ugly-duck.md) - [Customizable Olive Oil Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paint-pour-gift-set.md) - [Label-Less Wine Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crate-by-fourth-wave-wines.md) - [Nostalgic Game-Inspired Wine Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finca-de-la-rica.md) - [Artistic Monochromatic Wine Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krink-x-barossa-ink-limited-edition-shiraz.md) - [DIY Whisky Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-whisky-bottle.md) - [Sustainably Wrapped Gin Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lind-lime-gin.md) - [Quirky Natural Wine Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thorn-burrow-wines.md)
