Whether it’s a bottle of ketchup or a gift for a loved one, good packaging design is incredibly important, ultimately determining your brand position, perception and price.
Our two biggest senses used when making a buying decision or indeed just an initial enquiry, are sight and touch. Therefore colour and texture is so important. The make up of your pack, box, bottle or label will have a direct influence on the buyer and ultimately help them make a decision on whether to explore more or even buy.
We searched the internet looking for great articles on packaging design that may inspire you in your quest for innovative and dynamic designs to help your (or your customers) products fly off the shelves. We came across quite a few blogs with dedicated to articles on great design so we thought, why not share some of these articles directly with you here.
