The gourmet pies contain natural ingredients and are made from Canadian meats and although hot pies are delicious, it's not very much of a treat when they're burning your hands. However, The Pie Commission had some ingenious packaging developed for it by paperboard providers [Zebra Paper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zebras-rfid-tags). The [pie packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paperseal-shape) consists of a rounded shape that makes it easy to hand the pie to a customer. When it's time to eat, the two circular flaps on the paperboard package can be folded down for a very convenient way and mess-free way to eat the pie on the go. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Convenient Food Packaging:** The development of innovative packaging solutions that enhance the convenience of consuming food on the go. - **Sustainable Food Packaging:** The use of environmentally-friendly materials and designs in food packaging to reduce waste and promote sustainability. - **Premium Grab-and-go Food:** The rise of premium, gourmet-style handheld food options that cater to consumers seeking quick and convenient meals without sacrificing quality. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food Packaging:** Opportunities for companies in the food packaging industry to develop innovative and convenient packaging solutions that enhance the consumer experience. - **Sustainable Packaging:** Growing demand in the sustainable packaging industry for eco-friendly materials and designs that reduce waste and environmental impact. - **Fast Casual Food:** Opportunities for fast casual restaurants and food companies to offer premium grab-and-go options that appeal to consumers seeking quick and high-quality meals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Meaty Baked Pie Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pukka-pies-products.md) - [High-Quality Pizza Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/printed-pizza-boxes.md) - [Savory Regenerative Flour Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/higgidy-pies.md) - [Topping-Filled Pocket-Style Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mod-pizza-pocket-pie.md) - [Savory Prepackaged Pie Slices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/higgidy-slices.md) - [Savory Family-Friendly Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pukka-the-big-one.md) - [Comfort Food Frozen Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-pukka-pies.md) - [On-the-Go QSR Chicken Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kfc-handheld-pot-pie.md) - [Convenience-Focused Pastry Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pastry-products.md)
