# Literal Lunch Carriers The Pack to School Sandwich Box is Cutely Shaped Like it's Contents By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2013-08-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pack-to-school-sandwich-box References: [holycool.net](http://www.holycool.net/pack-to-school-sandwich-box/) & [modcloth](http://www.modcloth.com/shop/kitchen-dining/pack-to-school-sandwich-box) Lunch boxes have been a schoolyard staple for decades and the Pack to School Sandwich Box looks to add a certain level of complexity to the simple lunchtime case. Literally designed to look like a sandwich, the Pack to School Sandwich Box is a simple [sandwich-shaped container](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/warburtons-baked-baggage) made from traditional tin. The quirky design of the Pack to School Sandwich Box is just enough to make it a winner when it comes to style, but somewhat awkward when it comes to actually [carrying lunch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freezable-market-tote); the small size makes it really only appropriate for a single sandwich or a few [small snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheezit-walking-taco). Regardless, the different design of the Pack to School Sandwich Box is likely to be the main focus rather than usability and will draw attention wherever one decides to eat their lunch. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Quirky Lunch Boxes:** The trend of designing lunch boxes with unique and unconventional shapes opens up opportunities for creating fun and eye-catching lunchtime accessories. - **Compact Lunch Containers:** The trend of compact and smaller-sized lunch containers allows for easy portability and encourages portion control. - **Attention-grabbing Lunchware:** The trend of lunchware that stands out and draws attention promotes individual expression and personal style during lunch breaks. ### Where This Applies - **Food Packaging Industry:** Innovative and creative lunch box designs create opportunities for the food packaging industry to offer unique and appealing products to consumers. - **Kitchenware Industry:** The demand for compact and space-efficient lunch containers presents disruptive innovation opportunities for the kitchenware industry to develop practical and stylish solutions. - **Retail and Fashion Industry:** The trend of attention-grabbing lunchware opens doors for the retail and fashion industry to introduce stylish lunch accessories that align with personal fashion choices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleek Compartmentalized Lunch Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/venn-bento-box.md) - [Playful Freezable Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playtime-lunch-box.md) - [Ultra-Compact Freezable Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freezable-lunch-box.md) - [Kid-Focused Meal Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b-box.md) - [Self-Referential Sandwich Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandwich-maker-concept.md) - [Speaker-Resembling Lunchboxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fender-amp-lunchbox.md) - [Origami-Inspired Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldibox-2.md) - [Vibrant Freezable Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freezable-lunch-boxes.md) - [Self-Heating Solar-Powered Lunchboxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunnyside-lunchbox.md)
