These designs are characterized by toned or muted colors with bold letters and shapes, reminiscent of the overall vibe of the 90s. Because packaging using this visu- al style stand out from other brands with modern designs, it tends to get more attention from potential buyers. 5. Socially Significant Messages : Consumers are be- coming more socially aware these days. Thus, brands also design packaging with socially significant messages.
