# Emotive Mint Tins AmuseMints' Breath Mint Tins are Decorated with Playful Emoji Icons By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-06-02 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mint-tins References: [packagingdigest](http://www.packagingdigest.com/packaging-design/candy-packaging-entices-sweet-toothed-shoppers-2016-06-01) Some of the newest packaging types for AmuseMints' [breath mint tins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thc-cbc-mood-mints) include a fun series of tins that are branded with well-known emoji characters. Flavors like Wintergreen Cool and Peppermint Smile are matched with a series of emojis that could be used to describe the breath-freshening products. For instance, the Cinnamon mint tin includes a pattern that uses the fire icon, which suggests the spicy kick that comes with the fiery cinnamon flavor. The evolution of digital language has transformed emojis into a virtually universal method of expression across many languages. As such, beyond the keyboards of smartphones, the recognizable icons are now becoming integrated into everything from [products and packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mentos-feeling-berry-good) to billboards and campaigns that will easily catch the eyes of young consumers in any part of the world. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Emoji Marketing:** Opportunity to leverage the universal appeal of emojis as a branding tool for diverse industries. - **Personalized Packaging:** Opportunity to create customized packaging designs for different flavors and products. - **Multicultural Branding:** Opportunity to create multicultural and globally accessible branding using emojis. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for food and beverage companies to create playful and recognizable products using emoji marketing. - **Beauty and Personal Care:** Opportunity for beauty and personal care companies to create personalized packaging designs for different products. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Opportunity for advertising and marketing companies to create multicultural campaigns that leverage the universal appeal of emojis. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Emoji-Covered Candy Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/family-focused-pack-design.md) - [Popping Breath Mints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breathrox-breath-mints.md) - [Collectible Mint Tins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/altoids-x-bad-roman.md) - [Emoji-Inspired Cereal Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamoji-toast-crunch.md) - [Flavor-Focused Snack Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/changqu.md) - [Expansive Emoticon Libraries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amicons.md) - [Zinc-Infused Breath Mints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breathrox.md) - [Cooling Extra-Fresh Mints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tic-tac-fresh.md) - [Emoji-Centric Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubble-gum-emoji.md)
