How do you nail the first impression?
With an eye-catching package design!
When you browse through a store online or while at a supermarket you go past 100s of products. And it’s most likely that you don’t even notice half of them. But there are a few that you notice, and you just feel like grabbing it to know more. How? The packaging, the design over the cover, the shape of the pack, it’s just irresistible.
What makes a packaging stand out? You’d think sticking a bunch of graphics and giving bright colors would do the trick. Do that and you’ll disappear in plain sight (unless you have a product that’s extra sort out for). I recently had contacted the Creative Director of Herb & Olive to understand how they build beautiful covers for their products. It’s amazing the amount of work that goes behind such unique designs. You can read about the work behind Herb & Olive packaging here.
So what is product packaging?
Product packaging design refers to the creation of the exterior of a product. That includes choices in material and form as well as graphics, colors and fonts that are used on wrapping, a box, a can, a bottle or any kind of container.
Kelly Morr from 99designs explains 3 crucial questions you must have the answer to before you start designing the packaging for a product:
- What is the product?
- Whoâs buying the product?
- How are people buying the product?
Her article on The ultimate guide to product packaging design is an excellent read if you are looking to design a new package.
Anyways, I’ve been scouring through the internet over the last couple of weeks to find some great design inspo now. And finally, I’ve put together some of the best designs I could find over here. Hope you enjoy and find inspiration on your next project!
