# Bacon-Inspired Shirt Packaging This Creative Shirt Packaging Design is Wrapped Up Like Bacon By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-08-21 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shirt-packaging-designs References: [thedieline](http://www.thedieline.com/blog/2014/8/16/kylers-bacon-shirt) & [blangk](http://blangk.com/ronald-mcdonald-house-northern-alberta-bacon-shirt) Rather than going with some sort of plain shirt packaging design, this one for the [Ronald McDonald House](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-canada-art-series) Northern Alberta, tells the story of Kyle, a boy who became obsessed with bacon while waiting for a kidney transplant. The Ronald McDonald House is one that offers affordable accommodation to kids and their families while they undergo medical treatment. This creative [t-shirt packaging design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drip-fit) serves as an ode to Kyle, presenting the bright red t-shirts the same way fresh cuts of bacon would be wrapped up in a grocery store. Along with a story about Kyle, the back of the packages even includes a section of "nutrition facts," which shows that the product contains ingredients like joy, kindness, love, comfort and compassion. All proceeds from the sale of these shirts support the Ronald McDonald House Northern Alberta Charity. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Creative Packaging Design:** Opportunity to create unique and memorable packaging experiences. - **Personalized Brand Storytelling:** Opportunity to connect with customers through storytelling and emotional connections. - **Purpose-driven Marketing:** Opportunity to align with charitable causes and make a positive impact. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Retail:** Opportunity for retailers to differentiate their products through innovative packaging designs. - **Apparel:** Opportunity for apparel brands to deepen their brand story and connect with customers emotionally. - **Nonprofit:** Opportunity for nonprofit organizations to leverage creative marketing strategies to support their causes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Receipt-Inspired Graphic T-Shirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-to-order.md) - [Expressive Meal Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blank-happy-meal.md) - [Multifunctional Cardboard QSR Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tablebag.md) - [Accessible Meat Packaging Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meatcrafters.md) - [Playful Coffee Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunday-coffee-project.md) - [Mental-Health Awareness QSR Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happy-meal-box.md) - [Minimalist QSR Packaging Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-japan-packaging.md) - [Accessible Health-Focused Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nutrition-information-label.md) - [Inclusive Rice Snack Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rice-krispies-1.md)
