Packaging design – how to distinguish a company from the competition?
Packaging design plays a key role in the sales process. The appearance of the box must be consistent with the image of the company and distinguish the product from other competitive products. It is worth making sure that the box surprises with an idea for design and unusual workmanship. Personalized aesthetic packaging can contribute to your customer’s unboxing experience. Therefore, it is worth moving away from the standards and schemes and giving the customer a box, which in itself will be an exceptional gift and will be associated with the company.
The possibilities of personalization are endless:
- If you produce luxury goods (e.g. jewellery), it is worth to install in the box an elegant pillow that will expose your product.
- If your product is intended for children, the colours of the packaging should reflect its character.
- If your product is often purchased as a corporate gift, the right design and personalisation possibilities will contribute to its sales success.
Non-standard and creative packaging evokes strong, positive emotions in customers and consequently builds trust in the brand. Product packaging has a huge advertising potential and can be used as an effective tool to build a company’s image, you only need to know how to use it!
