This [modern rebrand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thoughtful-packaging) for a Scandinavian bakery has seen the repositioning of the popular brand's line of hot dog and hamburger buns into a more wholesome experience. Designed by DDB Göteborg, the packages redesigned feature single hue depictions of hot dogs and hamburgers that speaks to the progression of [artisanal-inspired branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deli-kitchen-bakery-products) that paints the product in a healthier light.

While the bun range from Pågen Bakery, Sweden's largest bakery, is positioned as a "fast food" line, the new packaging inspires a more [wholesome image](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/betterforyou-snack) of consumption. Previously, the packaging featured high resolution images of hot dogs and hamburgers, however, it can be argued that the image reminded consumers more of ballpark eating rather than that of a family barbecue.
