Holidays, candy and packaging – three of our favourite things, put them together and you’ve hit the trifecta.

The annual celebration of Halloween is said to have originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, a festival where people would light bonfires and wear costumes to fend off ghosts.

With the passing of time, Halloween has evolved into a secular holiday where the young and young in spirit partake in the modern tradition of trick-or-treating and binging on candy – all while sporting spooktacular costumes.

With Halloween lurking around the corner and fast approaching, we’ve rounded up some of our favourite 2018  Halloween Packaging designs. Take a look.
