This whimsical cut-out [Migros](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chickpea-yogurts) food packaging was conceived by Schneiter Meier Kulling. Migros is a Swiss-based food retailer. The simplistic product packages showcase the yummy products through clever die cuttings, like Irish Angus Beef Filet peeking through a cow-shaped cut-out.

Even when the unique Migros food packaging is not making use of cut-outs to highlight products, adorable and appetizing images, such as [slices of blue cheese](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfpacking-cheese) and marscapone tucked into a bed of pasta to sell gorgonzola and marscapone ravioli, clearly illustrate a quality product.
