4 Tips for Designing Your Custom Packages
In almost all aspects of life, presentation is key. Businesses are no different. Your logo, website, store, and even your packages all present an image of your company to your customer. And in the age of e-commerce, your packages are often seen before the product themselves. As a result, it’s important to give a good first appearance with your package by designing custom packages just for your business. Here are some ideas to get started:
Less is more
When it comes to packaging, less is usually more. Sleek, minimalist designs are attractive options in the modern age, providing just enough information to tell the customers what’s inside, but with enough mystery to pique their interest.
Provide a sneak peek at what’s inside
As we said, your design should give customers an idea of what’s inside, and a great way to do this is through a sneak peek. Create a simple outline or image of your product(s) on the box itself, keeping it simple and generic so that it can be applied to all packages (for example, if you sell shaving equipment, design a simple outline of a razor that will appear on each box).
Use slogans
Your packaging design gives the customer an idea of what kind of business you are, and a slogan can drive this point home. You can use the slogan alongside your business name or logo by placing it on other sides of the box. It can be your company’s ordinary slogan, or you can create one just for your packages to add a special touch.
Don’t forget the sides
The sides of your box are just as important as the front, as these can be useful places for additional information such as your slogan or any necessary product instructions. Even if you don’t have any other information to put on your box, you can still put some sort of design on the sides such as stripes or other simple shapes.
