# Graffiti Accessory Packaging Doodle-Covered Cardboard Boxes by Peter Gregson By Elsa Blaine | Published 2010-12-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graffiti-packaging-manual-co References: [packagingoftheworld](http://www.packagingoftheworld.com/2010/12/manual-co.html) & [petergregson](http://www.petergregson.com/blog/) Urban edginess of graffiti meets fashion accessory packaging in the hands of Peter Gregson for The Manual Co. Such [cardboard box packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/redesigned-retail-packaging) is often austere, one-coloured and emblazoned with a designer logo, but Gregson’s boxes are creatively swathed with doodled descriptions of the products within. Constructed in various sizes for handbags, gloves and belts, the blackboard-like packages sides and tops are splashed with a white chalk-like [graffiti script](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/86-tattoo-limited-edition) of expressive words such as "handmade," "authentic," and "the forgotten arts," along with a [color illustration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tissue-box-collection) of the accessory inside. I love the way a stack of Gregson's graphic packages look in the first image -- accessories themselves! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, 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 - **Graffiti-inspired Packaging:** Creating packaging that incorporates graffiti-style artwork and graphic elements can add an edgy and eye-catching appeal to products. - **Personalized Product Descriptions:** Adding doodled descriptions and expressive words to product packaging can create a unique and personalized experience for consumers. - **Visual Storytelling Packaging:** Using color illustrations and graphic elements on packaging to visually showcase the product inside can engage consumers and enhance the overall brand narrative. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Accessories:** The fashion accessories industry can benefit from graffiti-inspired packaging, as it adds a contemporary and urban element to the overall brand image. - **Art Supplies:** Art supplies companies can explore personalized product descriptions on their packaging, offering customers a creative and visually appealing way to engage with their products. - **Digital Marketing:** Using visual storytelling packaging techniques can inspire digital marketers to create engaging and immersive online experiences to showcase products and build brand loyalty. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Graffiti-Painted Beer Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1664-x-andre-saraiva.md) - [Street Art-Style Gummy Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jolly-rancher-gummies.md) - [Literature-Inspired Packaging Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/good-to-read.md) - [Inclusive Skincare Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/featforskin.md) - [Pink Sushi Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dept-sushi.md) - [Playful Coffee Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunday-coffee-project.md) - [Cardboard Box Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karton-furniture-collection.md) - [Camera-Equipped Delivery Parcels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/living-packets.md) - [Color-In Fish Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summertime-art-box.md)
