# Envelope Shipping Boxes These Printed Box Designs Show Off Maximum Style and Ease of Opening By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2015-01-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/printed-box References: [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/gallery/18809035/Online-shopping-packagings-for-Scintilla) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/miljakorpela) As part of her graduation project at Finland's Lahti Institute of Design, Milja Korpela created this [printed box packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pack-studio) for items sold on a home textile company's web shop. The packaging is designed to be chic, [sustainable and easy to open](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazon-packaging). To do this, the box has a rectangular shape that resembles a flat paper envelope. Rather than requiring a consumer to rip through the packaging with scissors or a knife, the cardbord box can be effortlessly opened once the protective paper wrap is removed. Printed with a variety of fashion-forward patterns in yellow, blue and red, the packaging communicates the brand's regard towards aesthetics in all things. Korpela notes that if a box manages to survive the shipping process relatively unscathed, the boxes could even be reused within the home. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sustainable Packaging:** Opportunity for innovative packaging designs that are eco-friendly and easy to open. - **Fashion-forward Packaging:** Opportunity to create visually appealing packaging that reflects the brand's aesthetic. - **Reusable Packaging:** Potential to develop packaging that can be reused for other purposes after shipping. ### Sectors Adopting This - **E-commerce:** Opportunity for e-commerce companies to enhance their brand image through stylish and sustainable packaging. - **Home Textile:** Opportunity to improve the customer experience by offering easy-to-open and reusable packaging for home textile products. - **Packaging and Printing:** Opportunity for packaging and printing companies to offer innovative and eco-friendly packaging solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Camera-Equipped Delivery Parcels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/living-packets.md) - [Ultra-Slim Delivery Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flap-it.md) - [Corrugated E-Commerce Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mondi.md) - [Optimized Eco Postal Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/large-letter-postal-boxes.md) - [Pink Sushi Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dept-sushi.md) - [Corrugated Cheese Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boxway.md) - [Recyclable eCommerce Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazon-packaging.md) - [High-Quality Pizza Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/printed-pizza-boxes.md) - [Separating Eco Carton Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bruk-sustainable-packaging-design.md)
