# Hay-Made Egg Cartons Happy Eggs by Maja Szczypek is a Nest-Like Packaging Design By Meghan Young | Published 2013-08-27 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happy-eggs References: [neatorama](http://www.neatorama.com/2013/08/26/Egg-Cartons-Made-of-Hay/) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/Happy-Eggs/9367295) The Happy Eggs packaging design may have many practical benefits, which will be addressed momentarily, but overall it is a fun homage to where its wares originate from. As though replicating the nest that they would still be resting in if they weren't plucked from their mothers, the Happy Eggs carton is made out of hay. Designed by Maja Szczypek, a product and communication design student based in Warsaw, Poland, the Happy Eggs carton promotes sustainability in production, as well as the use of organic materials. As written on the designer's Behance page, "The hay drawpiece is cheap and easy in production. It is made with heateded press, out of widely available material." Complete with colorful and informative tags, the Happy Eggs carton will appeal to many for a few different reasons. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sustainable Packaging:** Opportunities to explore organic and biodegradable materials for packaging design. - **Nature-inspired Design:** Innovations can be made by using designs that mimic the natural environment. - **Innovative Materials:** Trend towards exploring the use of unusual materials in product design. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food Packaging:** A focus on environmentally friendly packaging design within the food industry. - **Eco-friendly Production:** Incorporating sustainable production processes into manufacturing and distribution. - **Product and Communication Design:** New designs and materials can be incorporated into product and communication design to enhance the overall consumer experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pasture-Raised Hen Eggs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happy-egg-pastureraised-eggs.md) - [Gilded Free-Range Egg Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bird-bros-gloriously-golden.md) - [Farmer-Celebrating Egg Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nestfresh-branding.md) - [Sustainable Easter Chocolate Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happi-1.md) - [Value-Sized Free Range Eggs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happy-egg-co.md) - [Cost-Conscious Egg Cartons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cartons-of-eggs.md) - [Artisan Flavor Easter Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happi-easter-eggs.md) - [Heat-and-Eat Artisan Omelettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-happy-egg-co-omelettes.md) - [Bird-Shaped Food Packagings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bigbilled-bird-food-concept.md)
