# Beekeeper-Inspired Honey Packaging Ergastiri Meliou's Honey Jar Packaging Resembles an Apiarist By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2017-09-14 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honey-jar-packaging References: [packagingoftheworld](http://www.packagingoftheworld.com/2017/09/beekeeper.html) & [busybeecreative](http://www.busybeecreative.com/) While there are many [honey jar packaging designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dedrizzler) that embrace honeycomb motifs or black and yellow stripes, Ergastiri Meliou's Beekeeper stands out from the rest by embracing a different part of beekeeping. Rather than favoring a packaging design that features the [beneficial pollinating insects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shannan-beehive-observation-cabin), the design takes the form of a cartoonish apiarist instead. The simple design for the [thyme honey product](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beefamily-honey-stick) is constructed from wood, acrylic paint and white tulle, complete with rounded lid that mimics the shape of the brim of a beekeeper's protective hat. The dynamic packaging design was displayed at the 'It's all, oh so souvenir to me' exhibition, which showcases modern, creatively designed keepsakes for tourists. Beekeeper serves as a reminder of the vital role that humans can play in the protection and preservation of bees. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Nature-inspired Packaging Designs:** Designers and brands can explore packaging designs that draw inspiration from nature, like the Beekeeper honey jar, to create unique and eye-catching products. - **Cartoonish Packaging Designs:** Utilizing cartoonish aesthetics in packaging, as seen in the Beekeeper honey jar, can help products stand out on store shelves and attract consumer attention. - **Promoting Environmental Awareness:** Creating packaging that reminds consumers of important environmental issues, such as the role of bees in pollination, can help raise awareness and promote sustainable practices. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Beverage Packaging:** The food and beverage industry can explore innovative packaging designs, inspired by nature and cartoons, to enhance product appeal and differentiate from competitors. - **Tourism Souvenir Design:** In the tourism industry, designers can create unique and memorable souvenirs, like the Beekeeper honey jar, that capture the essence of a destination and attract tourists. - **Environmental Conservation:** Companies and organizations focused on environmental conservation can use creative packaging designs, like the Beekeeper honey jar, to promote awareness and encourage sustainable practices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Honey-Based Artisanal Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farm-to-body.md) - [Ceramic Olive Oil Jars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cugu.md) - [Revamped Honey-Focused Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honibe.md) - [Recyclable Honey Sachets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-snap-and-squeeze.md) - [Adorable Bee-Inspired Candlesticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beeinspired-candlesticks.md) - [Re-Designed Family-Owned Olive Oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/itxart-olive-oil.md) - [Award-Winning West African Honey](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifloral-honey.md) - [Herb-Infused Honey Bundles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honey-bundle.md) - [Bird-Shaped Food Packagings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bigbilled-bird-food-concept.md)
