[Updated] 2025 Holiday Wrapping Trends

This Year’s Holiday Packaging Trends: Elevate Your Style for 2025

Holiday packaging for 2025 is far from ordinary. Inspired by trends in fashion, graphic design, and sustainability, this season’s gift boxes, bags, and bows are designed to impress and delight your customers. Whether you lean toward a minimalist aesthetic or embrace bold, eye-catching designs, make sure to incorporate one of these trending styles into your seasonal gift packaging:

• Sheer Elegance – Inspired by sheer fabrics and lace trends, this look features translucent ribbons, delicate lace patterns, and soft, sheer tissue paper. It’s a sophisticated way to present your gifts with flair.
• Pattern Play – Mixing patterns is a bold trend this year. Pair striped bags with floral gift wrap, or combine animal prints with geometric designs for packaging that’s modern and attention-grabbing.
• Micro Motifs – Tiny, repeated graphics—like snowflakes, stars, or seasonal icons—are on-trend for 2025. These petite prints are perfect for creating an understated yet stylish look and work well with pattern mixing.
• Sustainable Simplicity – Sustainability continues to take center stage in holiday packaging. This year, eco-friendly options like recycled materials and natural textures are more popular than ever. Think kraft bags, earthy tones, and reusable elements.
• Festive Sparkle – Metallic finishes, glittery accents, and ribbons in shimmering gold and silver remain a timeless way to add elegance and festivity to your holiday packaging.

Create a Story with Your Packaging

Holiday packaging in 2025 isn’t just about trends—it’s about telling a story. A serene palette of icy blues and silvers combined with snowflake and star motifs can create a magical winter wonderland vibe. Traditional motifs like holly, reindeer, and pine trees in deep cranberry, soft cream, and rustic green tones evoke nostalgia. For a playful and modern look, opt for bold jewel tones and glossy patterns that scream festive fun.

Whether for your business or your personal gifting, consider the holiday story you want to share and choose gift wrap, bags, ribbons, and boxes that bring your vision to life.
