McDonald’s goes for graphic punch in new packaging

McDonald's packaging redesign: A ransom note in pastels but no McDLTFirst McDonald’s worked on its food. Next up for its nearly yearlong face lift is a revamp of its boxes, bags and cups. The world’s largest burger chain will roll out to its 15,000 U.S. restaurants this month new bags, cups and sandwich containers featuring a graphic design it hopes will attract millennials, the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. population.
