Packaging Design FAQS

Packaging design ties together form, structure, materials, color, imagery, typography, and regulatory information with additional design elements to make a product suitable for sale. To put that into a simpler form: Your packaging is an element of your marketing strategy.

A well-designed package can make consumers purchase a product regardless of other less-expensive substitutes. Typically, product packaging is linked with the product’s quality and legitimacy. Based on our experience, consumers tend to be convinced of the product’s quality based on the attractiveness of the packaging design.

The “out-of-box” experience is a brand’s first impression a customer gets of something they bought when they take it out of packaging and start to use it. This experience covers the unboxing, product setup, and initial use of a product.

At the highest level, our process is highly collaborative. Our packaging design company will begin by reviewing a brief document from the client. We then discuss it with them to better understand the consumer/user needs, packaging requirements, marketing plan, brand guidelines, schedule, budget, and other relevant factors. After that, we develop a detailed, phase-by-phase proposal to meet the specific needs and objectives of the client.

When we engage with a customer, the following items are helpful for getting started:

  • A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)
  • Product brief and specifications
  • Consumer Feedback 
  • Any market research 
  • Go-to-market strategy
  • Any existing messaging and branding

Once we have this information, you can reach out to our packaging design firm to get started with your project.
