At last, someone has found a beautiful way to make takeout feel like a veritable special occasion. Emma Smart created the award-winning designs for the supermarket chain, [ASDA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asda-foodtogo-range). As well as being attractive on the outside, the [lunch boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freezable-lunch-box) are even more so when opened up. The colorful designs invite the user to ditch the plastic knives and forks, and get out the best silverware. This makes even a mundane item, like takeout, take on some class, even if it’s (paper) dining ware. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, 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's Driving This Trend - **Luxury To-go Packaging:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop premium packaging solutions for takeout meals to elevate the dining experience. - **Elevated Lunch Boxes:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create lunch boxes with attractive designs and features that enhance the overall appeal of portable meals. - **Upscale Disposable Utensils:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design high-quality disposable cutlery that enhances the dining experience for takeout and reduces plastic waste. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food Packaging:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative and aesthetically appealing packaging solutions for the food industry, particularly for on-the-go meals. - **Meal Delivery Services:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Partner with meal delivery companies to create premium packaging options that enhance the overall dining experience for customers. - **Sustainable Packaging:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Manufacture eco-friendly packaging materials and solutions to address the growing demand for sustainable and luxurious takeout options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Convenience-Focused Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunch-bundle.md) - [Combinational On-the-Go Food Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beltur-go.md) - [Origami-Inspired Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldibox-2.md) - [Meal Preparation Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memobento.md) - [All-Inclusive Leakproof Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunch-box1.md) - [Design-Conscious Food Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omi-pod-food-container.md) - [Kid-Focused Meal Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b-box.md) - [Eco-Friendly Kids Lunchware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duck-duck-books.md) - [Landscape-Inspired Bento Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyobodo-fiume.md)
