It's rare that [fruit boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mets-spring-muoto-punnet-products) are given graphically pleasing design treatments, since their primary purpose is usually to transport fresh produce to a store. In order to help a new fruit brand stand out, fashionable produce boxes for 'GINETA' were developed.

The name GINETA is a reference to a genet, which is a mammal that has distinctive spotted patterning on its fur. As well as inspiring the name, elements from a genet's appearance were used to create [dynamic packaging for the fruits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunkist-growers-packaging) like pears, khakis and saturn peaches that are carried by GINETA.

As more consumers strive towards eating more whole foods, there is a growing appreciation and demand for [fresh fruits and vegetables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruit-snack-cups). Standout packaging like this helps consumers to see the same level of care and quality that goes into design reflected in produce.
