Custom Box Design Tips | Bling Bling Packaging & Display

Product packaging can significantly impact how an item will succeed in the marketplace. Custom packaging leaves potential customers with a lasting first impression, leading them to either turn away, make a purchase, or seek more information about the product on display. A custom box design must capture consumer interest and ensure the product stays secure while promoting brand awareness. This blog will touch on key design considerations and custom packaging options for retail products.

Design Considerations

Before creating a custom box design for retail packaging, designers must consider:

The purpose of the product
Who are the potential customers
How customers will purchase the product

Understanding these key elements will allow designers to hone in on the wants and needs of the target market. With these answers in mind, they can move on to the next design phase. Consider the different aspects of design, from materials to appearance and budgetary needs:

Packaging materials. Research the limitations and benefits of certain types of packaging materials. It is also important to look at how the custom box design compares to the packaging solutions of competitors.
Aesthetics. How businesses display a product will affect its overall success. For instance, in a brick-and-mortar store, customers can make a purchasing decision just by relying on their five senses, while they will rely more on visual imagery when shopping for products online.
Budget. High-quality custom packaging must fall within a project’s budget, keeping in mind that it is a beneficial investment that can result in considerable customer growth.
Design simplicity. Using too many different elements can lead to higher manufacturing costs and make a package design look too cluttered.
Going green. Recycled products have a significant impact on environmentally conscious consumers and allow companies to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability.
Market positioning and branding. The final packaging solution must be appealing to end-users and the target market.
Protection. Product packaging must offer superior protection to prevent damage and maintain a strong brand reputation.
Text. The packaging text must be legible. Consider the overall color, complexity, and size of the company name, as well as the other text you intend to include.
