These pie packaging designs for Greeklicious by [Creative Forward](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/88-acres-seed-butter) help to make traditional Greek food appealing to a market based in the United States. The products include a variety of [sweet and savory pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pukka-product), including Pumpkin, Macaroni, Spinach & Cheese, Sweet Cream and Cheese pies. Rather than showing off a scale picture of each of the dinner and dessert items, the packaging blows up the images of each pie, making sure consumers can get a real good look at what's on the inside.

Since some of the best parts of the Greek food are the [handmade filo dough](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/odysea-spinach-feta-filo-rolls) and the stuffing inside, each pie box plays up the colors that match the most delicious elements of the filling. As well as being a great way to show off each individual product, this is also extremely effective at differentiating one product from another.
