Paris Packaging Week 2025

Great to visit Paris Packaging Week 2025 recently.

https://www.clarelynchcreative.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Paris_Packaging_Week_2025.mp4

There was so much inspiration with beautiful work and the process to creating it showcased, along with interesting topics discussed, such as sustainability in packaging design, exploring new materials such as paper bottles for drinks, adapting to change – such as a world where AI is impacting everything and what it’s role is in the design industry, the key to building strong brands, current packaging design trends, thinking big and thinking differently with brand strategy and innovation, and how to work effectively to be most creative and productive, whilst maintaining a healthy work to life balance and staying creatively inspired.

A big thank you to Paris Packaging Week and PENTAWARDS for a brilliant few days and line-up of speakers.

Packaging Design Checklist

So you have decided to go ahead and work with a designer to create some beautiful new packaging design for your products. After meeting with your designer and working on preparing the brief for the design together, what’s the next step? What assets and information do you need to have ready to supply to your designer to ensure a smooth and easy process towards developing and launching your new brand’s visual identity and product range?

This handy, free guide will make it easy for you to ensure that you have all your ducks in a row towards completing your packaging design process with ease. You can find a PDF version here to check off or a Word version here, which you can download and fill in and return to your designer or keep as a useful reference.


Another useful source for guidelines regarding food and drink label information is the FSAI (Food Safety Authority of Ireland) – see more information here.

L’Occitane is on-trend with 2016’s Pantone Colours

 

LOccitane_Pantone_Packaging_Colours-1

I love the packaging of this little L’Occitane gift I received recently and couldn’t help but add a post about it!

The designers of it are obviously very trend-aware as it falls close to Pantone’s Color of the Year in 2016 – which is Rose Quartz and Serenity. It’s not quite a match to serenity but still manages to convey the soft, tranquil tones of this year’s official Pantone colours of the year.

You can read more about it in this article:

http://www.pantone.com/color-of-the-year-2016

It reminded me of an article I read on it on LinkedIn recently also, which you can read here.
