What this line of Method Hand Wash packaging has in common with the other items that this brand has on the market is an image that is guaranteed to win most people over. The soap dispensers are decorated with a clarity that is distinctly contemporary, yet a detail that is designed to endear.

These particular bottles are transparent with the product name and information printed in soft white text. The pair gets punchier in appearance with the addition of adorable illustrations of rabbits, squirrels, birds, turtles and deer. The enchanting creatures are rendered in a cartoony style with bright colors that range green through blue on one dispenser and different shades of orange on the other. The critters on Method Hand Wash packaging have big doe eyes to characterize their innocence as the company asserts its policy of avoiding animal testing.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out
