For brands, Chinese New Year presents an opportunity to engage with these themes through packaging that feels intentional, premium and respectful. Rather than relying on overt motifs or novelty designs, many businesses are choosing to express the spirit of the Fire Horse through color, texture and carefully considered detail — an approach that aligns naturally with Foldabox’s strengths in materiality and finish.
Every year, color trend authorities shape global design direction through their Color of the Year announcements. For 2026, Pantone and WGSN/Coloro have taken dramatically different routes, signaling two parallel but equally influential creative movements. Pantone has chosen Cloud Dancer, an ethereal soft white rooted in calm, clarity, and reflection. WGSN and Coloro, on the other hand, have selected Transformative Teal, a rich blue-green tone that represents ecological awareness, resilience, and future-focused progress.
With the festive season approaching, it’s the perfect time to make your gift packaging stand out—and what better way to do it than by adding a personal touch? At Foldabox, we’ve developed a revolutionary way to customize your gift boxes without the need for fully custom-made packaging: our FAB Sides® Decorative Side Panels. Paired with seasonal ribbons, they allow you to create stunning, personalized packaging with minimal effort and cost, while adding a wow factor that’s sure to impress.
Christmas is the biggest gifting season of the year, and for brands, it’s also the most important moment to make a lasting impression. Beyond the products themselves, color trends set the mood for the festive season and directly influence purchasing decisions. Customers are drawn to packaging that feels both on-trend and emotionally resonant, whether that’s nostalgic candy stripes or modern navy-and-gold pairings.

As we approach Earth Day on April 22nd, the global conversation around sustainability intensifies. Now more than ever, individuals and businesses alike are seeking ways to reduce their environmental footprint and contribute to a healthier planet. We are proud to offer eco-friendly packaging options that not only protect your products but also safeguard the Earth. In the spirit of Earth Day, we would like to reflect on our theme, which has always been RE-gift, REpurpose and REuse.
Whether it's artisanal chocolate or a hamper filled to the brim with gourmet delicacies, there are many ways to boost your sales this Easter.
