# Handcrafted Chocolate Packaging These Treat-Carrying Hand-Painted Boxes Mimic a Sunny Sky Scene By Ady Floyd | Published 2015-06-03 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handpainted-boxes References: [packagingoftheworld](http://www.packagingoftheworld.com/2015/06/fine-chocolate-box.html) & [finechocolatebox](http://www.finechocolatebox.com/) Designer Marta Veludo created these hand-painted boxes containing the 'Fine Flavour Chocolate' company's treats. This company uses [local ingredients from cocoa farmers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fair-foods) and [bean-to-bar chocolate makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-in-california-bar) as well as using online ordering services and door-to-door delivery. In order to convey the brand's local tendencies, the packaging uses handcrafted boxes. Each box is made of durable cardboard so it can be sent via post office for delivery. The brand's identity uses bright colors to reflect the playful child-like excitement that is brought on by chocolate. With light blue paint stroked across a white box, it resembles a sky. The brand's bright orange logo is then placed in the top corner of the box as if to be the sun. These delightfully charming boxes convey positive vibes and summery expression through colorful, hand-painted boxes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Hand-painted Packaging:** By producing custom hand-painted packaging, companies can differentiate themselves from competitors and connect with consumers who value artistic expression in their purchases. - **Local Sourcing:** Incorporating local ingredients and collaborating with local suppliers can be a selling point for brands and create a sense of community among consumers. - **Door-to-door Delivery:** Offering door-to-door delivery can increase convenience for consumers and differentiate brands from competitors who rely only on traditional distribution channels. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Luxury Chocolate:** Handcrafted and artistic packaging can be particularly appealing to luxury chocolate brands seeking to create a unique, high-end image for their products. - **Local Food and Drink:** Small businesses that prioritize local sourcing and offer personalized services such as door-to-door delivery can appeal to consumers who value community and supporting local economies. - **E-commerce:** Online ordering services can enable small businesses to reach a wider audience and differentiate themselves through custom packaging and convenient delivery options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fine Art-Covered Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m-cacao-artbars.md) - [Wine-Infused Chocolate Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vine-to-bar-chocolate.md) - [Paintable Easter Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-kit-easter-edition.md) - [PCR Chocolate Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holdsworth-chocolates.md) - [DIY Chocolate Wrappers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-chocolate-wrapper.md) - [Extravagant Chocolate Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/extrtavagant-chocolate.md) - [Artist-Inspired Chocolate Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beatrice-wood.md) - [Adult-Targeted Milk Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gnaw-chocolate-bar.md) - [Inclusive Chocolate Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-holiday-braille-box.md)
