The AI-Powered “Starter Pack” Trend

There’s a new trend taking over social media and design feeds: The Starter Pack. It’s nostalgic, hilarious, and endlessly customizable — and with a little help from AI, it’s easier than ever to create your own.
‍

At Anntoine, we’ve been exploring how tools like ChatGPT and AI image generators can fuel creativity. One of our favorite prompt styles lately? The Starter Pack Packaging Prompt. Think action figure meets branding — but with a heavy dose of personality.
Here’s the exact prompt we used to generate our own collectible-style image, using ChatGPT to build a detailed scene and pass it to an AI image tool:

Starter Pack Packaging Prompt Template

‍Create a collectible action figure packaging titled: "THE [NAME] STARTER PACK".
The packaging design should be clean and minimalist, with a cardboard background in [COLOR], a plastic blister front, and a visible hanging hole at the top.
The figure should be a stylized, cartoon-like but realistic 3D figurine of [BRIEF PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION OR PHOTO REFERENCE], standing at the center-left of the package.

On the right, include [NUMBER] themed accessories in custom-fit molds. The accessories are:
‍

[ACCESSORY 1] [ACCESSORY 2] [ACCESSORY 3] [ACCESSORY 4]
‍

The character should wear [DETAILED OUTFIT DESCRIPTION], and stand confidently with a smile. Style the figure’s hair as [DETAILED HAIR STYLE DESCRIPTION] and give them a [SKIN TONE] complexion.
‍

Set the overall background to be bright, well-lit, and professional-looking — similar to a toy product rendering on a white studio backdrop.

PRO TIP

For the most accurate results, upload reference photos of yourself or any products you want included. The more specific your visual references, the better the AI can match the design. Also, if your products include a lot of text (like labels or packaging), be aware that AI-generated images might render that text incorrectly or garbled. Focus on the visual vibe over legible wording!

‍
By combining this prompt with AI image generation platforms (like DALL·E or Midjourney), you can create custom visuals that capture your team, clients, or even your brand vibe in a totally new way. Whether you’re building a fun internal culture piece or a scroll-stopping post for your audience, this trend is a great way to show off personality while flexing creative muscle.
