Helping to enhance the appeal of the hot cereals brand, the Hubbards Creamy Porridge packaging design is focused on being rustic, ingredient-focused and friendly.

Designed by the Auckland-case Coats studio, the Hubbards Creamy Porridge packaging focuses on honesty when it comes to detailing ingredients and processes behind the product. Being that the market for [artisanal products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cleveland-kitchen1) is increasing, we're seeing brands play up artisanal aspects in order to convey that although it's prepackaged that it's made with health and quality in mind.

The new Hubbards Creamy Porridge [hot cereals packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whites-oats) includes such flavors as Pecan Date & Maple, [Blueberry & Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quaker-oats-fruit), Coconut Currants & Cinnamon and LSA & Apple. The bold branding effort helps to draw in new customers, while satisfying existing ones with refreshed imagery.
