This [gift wrapped packaging design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scented-gift-wrap) done by Paone Creative for the bakery Scandilicious uses the colors of the Scandinavian flag to show off the company's roots.

A delicate ribbon wraps around the [coffee bag](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retail-coffee-packaging) at both the bottom and off to one side, making consumers feel as though they are a kid at Christmas time. The Scandinavian ribbon is contrasted with a white background, and the image of a fun-loving girl on the front. Overall the design is quite minimalist, simplistic and chic, sticking with a mostly red and blue color palette.

Both Paone Creative and Scandilicious are based in Vancouver, British Columbia, and came together to work on this branding project. Hopefully the coffee matches the amazing design job the creative team put together!
