Autumn Print Trends 2025: What’s In This Season

Fri 19th September 2025

As the leaves turn and the nights draw in, autumn brings with it a burst of warmth, colour, and creativity. For businesses, community groups, and individuals alike, it’s the season of cosy markets, fundraising fairs, product launches, and festive preparations. And nothing sets the tone quite like the right print.

At GP Print, we’re always keeping an eye on the latest design and print trends to help you make the most of the season. So, what’s hot for autumn 2025? Let’s take a look.

Rich, Warm Colour Palettes

A warm, autumnal colour palette to set off your seasonal print marketing

Think deep burgundies, burnt oranges, forest greens, and golden yellows. These shades not only reflect the season but also create an inviting, premium feel for your printed materials. Pair them with earthy neutrals like cream or kraft brown for a balanced look that feels natural and timeless.

Where to use them:

• Menus for seasonal dishes and drinks
• Flyers for autumn fairs, markets, or charity events
• Product packaging for autumn or pre-Christmas promotions

Textured & Luxury Finishes

Autumn is all about richness and comfort — and your print can reflect that too. Customers are loving tactile print finishes this season. Think soft-touch lamination, embossed details, or metallic foils that catch the light like autumn sunshine.

Perfect for:

• Business cards that leave a lasting impression
• Luxury brochures or event programmes
• Invitations for autumn weddings, galas, or charity dinners

A luxury finish can set your business card apart

Eco-Friendly Printing Choices

Sustainability isn’t just a trend — it’s an expectation. This autumn, more businesses are opting for recycled paper stocks, plant-based inks, and designs that minimise waste. The rustic, natural look of eco-friendly materials fits beautifully with autumn themes too.

Paper bags can be fully customised and offer sustainability for your business

Popular eco-print products this season:

• Kraft paper bags with printed logos for markets
• Recycled postcards and thank-you notes
• Flyers on uncoated paper for a raw, organic feel

Seasonal Packaging & Labels

With Christmas just around the corner, autumn is prime time for limited-edition packaging. From craft breweries to candle makers, small businesses are refreshing their packaging to give products a seasonal twist. A simple label change can make a product feel new, gift-worthy, and in tune with the season.

Ideas to try:

• Stickers or labels with autumnal patterns
• Gift tags in warm colours for handmade goods
• Branded wrapping paper for early Christmas shoppers

Bold Signage for Outdoor Events

Autumn weekends are packed with markets, food festivals, bonfire nights, and charity runs. With shorter days and darker evenings, signage needs to be bold, clear, and visible. High-contrast colours, large fonts, and weather-resistant materials are the way forward.

Event essentials:

• PVC banners for outdoor stalls
• A-boards to guide visitors to your entrance
• Directional signs for parking, toilets, or food zones

Outdoor signage needs to pack a punch with nights drawing in
