[Parker & Paisley](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parker-food-group) have hired Glasfurd and [Walker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walkers-shortbread-wee-chunkies) to help with the branding of their [line of nuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tuffnut). The team used a very vintage look for the packaging, giving the products a touch of age-old glamor and trustworthiness.

Package Inspiration states that "the first two releases are a Roasted Almond with Sea Salt and Mixed Nuts. Each represented by a different coloured foil pattern that wraps the entire box." It's great that these subtle touches have been added between the flavors, since it helps to differentiate the two every so slightly. The front of the box also features images of a baker giving flowers to a young girl, which adds to this vintage look for the brand. Overall this branding for Parker & Paisley takes on an intriguing old-school aesthetic.
