Fonts for Future-forward Packaging 

Looking to make your packaging a little more futuristic. 

There is no specific definition for futuristic, but a lot of fonts will have minimal aesthetics, and will also utilize weird geometric shapes. There is also sans-serif, which is popular in the tech and business world, especially for smart technology, and for brands that are modern, in order to build reputations. 

Here, we’ll give you some of the best fonts for packaging, in both commercial and personal use and while it might be a little challenging to get these, we’ll tell you how you can. 

Blanka 

This is a font designed by Emmeran Richard and is the first of the many futuristic typefaces that the graphic designer has. It’s unconventional and minimalistic and is created by using different parts that are missing from various letterforms. 

It’s free for both commercial and personal use, so you might want to look into this one. 

Ailerons 

This is a font that’s designed by Adilson Gonzales and is a very clean typeface with tall types of letterforms. It’s perfect for innovative, premium feels to packaging,  and is great for occupying packaging space, especially if it does stand on the taller end.

This one is free for personal usage, and if you want to use it for commercial endeavors, make sure to contact the artist to find out if you can. 

Eliano 

This is another one designed by Emanuele Papale, and it works with various geometric shapes, creating a fun and futuristic sort of aesthetic.

It utilizes the A as a triangle, and then the O is an additional dot within this. 

It’s Avant Garde, and it won’t have organic lines, so it’s more geometric than anything else.

It’s free for both personalized and commercial use and can be a fun way to really stand out. 

Exan-3

This is a font that’s created by Jon Carlos and is known as a monospaced sort of font that offers a futuristic yet retro look, with a mixture of both curved and straight lines, and the usage of angular, and rounded corners. 

It’s great, and since it is monospaced, it makes this font a lot wider, and ideal for packaging that tends to also be a bit wider as well. 

It’s free to use for both personalized and commercial usages. 

Stellar

This is a font that’s been created by Mathieu Desjardins, and it’s a minimalistic type, especially compared to the others we’ve listed. It achieves the futuristic and aesthetics of this through clarity and simplicity. It’s great because it comes in 4 different weights, and you can use this with over 33 different languages. 

It is free for both commercialized and personal use. 

Dual 

Finally, there is DUAL, which was created by Charles Daoud, and is inspired by the Neue Haas and Gotham fonts. 

This is one with straight lines and over 90 degree angles, creating a feel that’s experimental and unique. It has a sans serif and full width type of design also make this complex, but also minimalistic all at the same time. 

It comes with 251 alternate types of glyphs, and 10 different stylistic types of sets, so it’s super flexible. It also provides support for both North America, and also South America, along with other parts of Europe too.

The 300 type is free both personally and commercially, whereas the other weighted options are a little bit pricier, but if you don’t need to pay, you can just get the regular and it will do well with a lot of personalized and commercial touches for your own various needs as well. 

Yummy, Refreshing, Ice Cream Packaging 

Summer is in full swing, and what better way to celebrate is a refreshing, sweet ice cream treat, complete with some fun packaging.

Food industry packaging is a little bit different from others, because with food packaging, you absolutely need quality, and it’s a huge part of it.  you also need to make sure that you also give a product that tastes good, and also looks good.

Ice cream is a product with a lot of different producers, and a ton of them tend to be artisanal, and a lot are also very tasty, and fresh.  The problem with this is the competitiveness of this. How does one convince the customers here to buy the product that you have, rather than a competitor? The answer lies in the packaging, as this is a weapon that’s tasty, and perfect for sales and other phases.

Products, their freshness, and even different flavors, are right near the main heart of these solutions that we see. Whether they’re simplistic boxes for ice cream with different illustrations, or even lettering that’s creative, or just minimalistic, effective packaging, there are a lot of different ways for you to do this. the right type of ice cream packaging is one that sells this, and ideally, is also good for the environment too. 

Some of them are also looking to create paper packaging too. This is because it’s eco friendly, and fun. 

How Can I Design My Ice Cream Packaging? 

Well, it all depends.  If you’re someone who likes to keep things minimal, you can do this. you can have the name of the product, a logo, or even just pictures of ice cream trucks, stands, or the ice cream itself. 

Then, by adding as a final touch, a little pattern and design at the very top to border the image.  Simple, easy, and fun to look at. 

Another thing that a lot of people like to also do is fun graphics and lettering. Some of them like to have it in black and white, with the designs and words all over it in this packaging.  To add to this, the ice creams are packaged individually, creating a fun, unique image, and providing the packaging with the perfect way to stay fresh. 

Yollibox is another one that does give a great packaging idea, especially for their frozen yogurt.  They have a simple white container with a giant piece of fruit, the color of the fruit as the typeface bordered by the white.  This is a good way to make simple, distinct packaging, and with the paper sleeves and the ice cream inside, it provides you with a fun, eco smart container that really stands out. 

Fifty Licks takes things in a different type of way.  They package ice cream in little paper containers that are cubic shaped. On the front is the name of their brand, with a gray background and a variety of colors, each of which correspond to the different flavors of ice cream.  The sides of the box are all in white, with a darker typeface so that people can read this.

Finally, popsicle packaging. These work well with a paper box, individually wrapped in a paper packaging, and then, on the very front, you can design it with a person holding and eating the sweet treat that they enjoy.

At the end of the day, there are a lot of different packaging incentives for a person to have, and a lot that people will benefit from. If you’re looking to get the most out of your ice cream packaging, now’s the time!
