# 3D Pork Packaging D-Torso's Cardboard Box Houses a Ham Within a Pig By Elsa Blaine | Published 2011-05-16 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-packaging-d-torso References: [wtv.co.jp](http://www.wtv.co.jp/com/) & [d-torso.jp](http://www.d-torso.jp/) The D-Torso System 3D pig cardboard packaging keeps a ham safely protected and presents it as only a maple glazed should be – as itself. Designed by the innovative creatives at the Japan based Aki Co., this paper piggy will likely never hit the shelves of [Whole Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whole-malk) any time soon, but it would surely make for an extraordinary way to give the gift of pork. Once a meal is prepared using the packaged protein, the three-dimensional hog can be used as a centerpiece for the dinner table. The D-Torso Packaging System also uses precise laser-cut pieces of cardboard to construct a paperboard penguin with a hidden inner cavity sized perfectly for a bottle of bubbly. By adding a big red ribbon around his neck, this would definitely be the most handsome wine packaging ever. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **3D Packaging:** Innovative cardboard 3D packaging for food products can create a unique and eye-catching product presentation. - **Multi-purpose Packaging:** Packaging that can be repurposed as a decorative accessory or functional item after use creates added value and reduces waste. - **Visual Packaging:** Customized packaging designs that incorporate visually appealing graphics can help a product stand out on store shelves. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food Packaging:** The food industry has opportunities to innovate with attractive and functional 3D packaging to enhance consumer experience. - **Wine and Beverage Packaging:** Beverage companies can explore creative multi-purpose packaging options to make their products more appealing as gifts or decorative items. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Customized 3D packaging designs can be used as a marketing tool to create a unique product presentation and enhance brand recognition. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Accessible Meat Packaging Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meatcrafters.md) - [Storage-Friendly Foldable Ham Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jamonero.md) - [Durable Egg Packaging Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egg-packaging1.md) - [Soft Structural Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-project-ara.md) - [3D Packaging Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pacdora.md) - [Corrugated Cheese Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boxway.md) - [Camera-Equipped Delivery Parcels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/living-packets.md) - [Stackable Canned Fish Packages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tower-of-tuna.md) - [Striking E-Commerce Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maksim-arbuzov.md)
