Designing Your Own Packaging


Want to make your product stand out from the crowd? The way buyers see it on the shelf can make all the difference in the world. To design packaging that will really catch their eye, follow these steps:
  1. Think outside the box.
  2. Integrate realistic considerations.
  3. Choose a manufacturer.
Here's how to give your product's presentation some pizzazz:

Seek inspiration

Come up with creative ideas by looking at everything from store shelves to nature in a new way.

Use effective tools

It's often hard to visualize a sketch on a napkin. Computer software can give you a better perspective.

Wrap it creatively

Figure out how best to catch your buyer's eye. Black, for instance, can be sexy, authoritative or luxurious. Certain shapes play to specific emotions. Environmentally conscious consumers will want packaging to match that sensibility.

Keep it simple

Few things will sabotage sales more than a package that prevents you from knowing what's inside, a type size or typeface you can't read easily, or packaging that's too hard to open.

Get it produced

Find the right company to turn your design into reality.
  • Don't reinvent the wheel if you don't have to. A basic container can look drastically different with an inventive label.
  • Don't go overboard. If the container is too complicated or the artwork too busy, it'll distract from the product itself.
  • Be smart enough to hire a designer if you're not pleased with your own efforts.
  • Remember the basics: barcode, company contact information, price.
  • Envision the retail shelf: Will your packaging display easily and compactly, or will it be a stockman's nightmare?
