# Stockpiled Vintage Packaging The Roadsidepictures' Collection is a Blast from the Past By Meghan Young | Published 2010-02-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roadsidepictures-collection References: [core77](http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/vintage_package_design_gold_mine_16015.asp) & [flickr](http://www.flickr.com/photos/roadsidepictures/sets/939353/?page=2) There are hobbies and collections, and then there is Roadsidepictures' collection. A treasure trove of creative inspiration for designers, advertisers, marketers, artists and more, it is filled with vintage package designs, many of which I don't even recognize! Roadsidepictures' collection takes dedication and a true love for, in this case, retro package designs. I almost expect him (or her) to have an underground safe house adorned floor to ceiling with these long-ago products. I'm sure Roadsidepictures' collection will receive quite a few requests to view and probably even to purchase. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Vintage Packaging Revival:** Opportunity to revive and reimagine retro package designs for a nostalgic consumer market. - **Creative Inspiration From the Past:** Leveraging vintage packaging as a source of unique and authentic creative ideas for designers and marketers. - **Niche Collectibles Market:** Growing demand for rare vintage package designs within the collector community presents a potential market for sellers and enthusiasts. ### Who This Affects Most - **Design and Advertising:** Unlocking the potential of vintage packaging to inspire innovative design concepts and advertising campaigns. - **E-commerce and Retail:** Curating and selling rare vintage packaging online to cater to the nostalgia-driven consumer market. - **Art and Collectibles:** Creating a platform for collectors to buy, sell, and trade vintage package designs as unique art pieces and collectibles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Road Trip-Inspired Candle Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/road-trips-collection.md) - [Ad Inspiration Archives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nobody-reads-ads.md) - [Crystal-Adorned Crushed Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sam-keller.md) - [Design Inspiration Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-vault1.md) - [Charming Retro Storage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floppy-disk-inspired-sd-card.md) - [Old-Fashioned Cartoon Cereal Tins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collectors-metal-tin.md) - [Literature-Inspired Packaging Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/good-to-read.md) - [Summer-Inspired Photo Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-dreaming-collection.md) - [Upcycled Limited Collection Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seen-heard-worn-before.md)
