How Packaging Design Can Ruin Even The Best Products

Packaging design is a huge and demanding design field. It is both the first and the last message that customers will see in order to convince them to buy, so you will be looking for both great product originality, but also sales performance. You can have the best product in the world, however, if the packaging is wrong then it really can be the entire downfall of a product’s and your businesses success. Make sure you don’t make these vital errors when creating your own packaging!

Don’t Be Wasteful with Your Packaging

With recycling and global warming in the news more and more these days, customers are becoming much more aware of their carbon footprint and the effect that their purchases have on the environment. When designing the packaging for your product, it is important not to be wasteful, for example, using unnecessary amounts of plastic. Consumers are also becoming more aware of corporate social responsibility and so you will not only be helping the environment, you will also boost sales showing that you are a company who cares!

Don’t Confuse Your Customers

The next time you are walking through the supermarket aisles, take a look at the packaging design of other products and see if you instantly know what they are selling. You will find that confusing packaging design is actually quite a widespread problem in the industry! When customers are browsing the shelves, they don’t have the time to figure out what your product is and they may be more annoyed if they buy a product thinking it is one thing when it is something completely different. This is not the image that you want for your brand! If you are going with packaging that is totally unique, we would recommend getting as much customer feedback as you possibly can to ensure that the product behind the packaging is still clear.

Don’t Make Packaging That Is Hard to Store

In this new world where we want everything done in an instant, having packaging design that takes up more time than necessary for customers is not going to go down well. If you are having to spend an age trying to store a product in its packaging that is a funny shape or takes up more space than it needs to, you can expect customers to avoid your product again in the future.

Don’t Make Packaging That’s Impossible to Open

We’ve all been there where you have bought a new pair of scissors, however, you cannot use them as the packaging is too difficult to open. Oh, the irony! Everyone has experienced this frustration, so why force this onto your customers too? You can still create packaging design that is secure, without wrapping the whole product in hard plastic!

Experienced packaging design companies can advise you appropriately to ensure that your design is a success from the get go. They will act as the glue between your great idea and the cohesive design, ensuring your product flies off the shelves!
