Creative product packaging design is extremely diverse because packaging serves all sorts of different use. You can use bottles, bags, boxes and also canisters, jars, and wrappers. Selecting the right packaging for your product determines your success.
Creative Packaging comes in every shape, every size, every material, and every colour—for every type of product imaginable. It’s the first impression we get about a product but also positions the entire brand.
A product might be fantastic with an equally killer logo, but awesome, trendy, on-brand, creative packaging is what absolutely seals the deal. In fact, a box looks on a shelf, or how a container feels in our hands can easily be the #1 factor in our decision to purchase a product.
Unlike other types of design, product packaging design results in something substantial. It’s more personal: we hold it, share it and carry it. Packaging has become so personal that there are huge fanbases that just love the packaging. Have you heard of “Unboxing” videos? Dozens of YouTube channels exist just to showcase the packaging of products like the iPhone, Apple Watch, PS4, and more.
But maybe most importantly, the packaging is a design that we have to live with every day. A product might spend just a few days on the shelf in the store, but it will spend weeks and sometimes months on the shelves of your home. Great packaging needs to last and be a work of art that people are proud to have in their home, pocket, or bag.
