How small businesses can incorporate these trends into their packaging designs

Now that we've covered the top spring colour trends for 2023, let's talk about how small businesses can incorporate these trends into their packaging designs. Here are some tips:

Use these colours as accents
You don't have to completely overhaul your packaging design to incorporate these trends. Try adding pops of these spring colours to your existing design as accents through ribbons, printing or stickers.

Consider your brand's personality
While it's important to stay on-trend, you also want to make sure your packaging design reflects your brand's personality. If your brand is more understated and sophisticated, you might want to incorporate more muted pastel shades. If your brand is more energetic and playful, go for the bold and bright hues.

Play with different colour combinations
Don't be afraid to experiment with different colour combinations! Try pairing two or more of these spring colours together to create a unique and eye-catching packaging design.

Keep it simple
Remember that sometimes less is more. Don't feel like you have to incorporate all of these spring colours into your packaging design. Sometimes a simple pop of one of these colours is all you need to create a fresh and spring-like feel.

The 2023 spring colour trends in the UK are all about bold and bright hues that evoke feelings of happiness, energy, and creativity. Small businesses can easily incorporate these trends into their packaging designs by using these colours as accents, considering their brand's personality, playing with different colour combinations, and keeping it simple. With these tips in mind, you'll be sure to create a fresh and eye-catching packaging design that will stand out in the crowded marketplace.
