Boxer Brand Design team shines with 6 packaging awards
We are excited to announce that our embedded branding and packaging design agency, Boxer Brand Design, has won multiple awards for its recent McCafé holiday cup packaging designs! They took home six awards in total, with three of them being the highest honor, from the likes of Graphic Design USA (GDUSA) and the Muse Design Awards among others.
McDonald’s holiday cups are an annual packaging promotion that the team is always excited to work on and take in innovative, fresh directions. To make this year’s designs stand out, the Boxer Brand Design team seamlessly combined McDonald’s staple gold coloring with holiday motifs that can be recognized by people of all cultures from around the world to create their holiday packaging. The creative incorporates Mid-century patterns and shapes in colors connected to the more extensive seasonal campaign, “Szn of Sharing,” which also debuted in late 2022.
When coming up with the design for this year’s holiday cups, our goal was to create something that complimented the iconic McDonald’s’ yellow hot cup and alluded to the excitement of the holiday season. We accomplished that by combining different Mid-century modern elements, playing with repetition, and incorporating colors like light blue, forest green, snowflake white, and McDonald’s red. With a combination of these elements, we were able to create a collection of six designs that bring that holiday magic and excitement to life.

We put a lot of hard work and a little bit of magic into the annual McCafé holiday cups, so it’s a reward when we receive such positive reactions from clients, colleagues, McDonald’s owner/operators and customers. To win 6 trophies on top of that is just an added holiday gift.
