I\u2019m not an impulse shopper, but I can tell you that, on occasion, I\u2019ve bought something purely based on the packaging. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One such instance was with <\/span>Izee<\/span><\/i>, the sparkling fruit juice. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not much into sparkling drinks, but the colorful, splashy packaging drew me in. The next thing I know, I\u2019m purchasing a four-pack.<\/span><\/p>\n

Izze\u2019s peppy packaging looked like happiness personified. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I could see myself sipping some Izzes while hanging out with friends at the park or the beach. And lo and behold, once I popped over to their website that’s exactly the message that they wanted to convey.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, that\u2019s effective marketing \u2013 and it all comes down to design. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No matter what you’re selling, your packaging really needs to speak to your customers. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to spend some time thinking about what colors you want to use, which fonts will work best, and the size and placement of your logo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget that usability is also a consideration with the design. Sure, you want your packaging to be beautiful, but you don’t want your customers frustrated while opening up the package.<\/span><\/p>\n

If done right, beautiful and practical packaging design can help you pump up your sales. So, let\u2019s get down to it and find out how you can make the most of your packaging design.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Box Design Matters<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Why<\/p>\n

A compelling design can set your products apart from the rest and set the whole tone for your <\/span>customer\u2019s experience<\/span><\/a>. A design can tell your story and why you\u2019re special. Different elements of design will appeal to different people. <\/span><\/p>\n

You have such a short time to grab your customers\u2019 attention \u2013<\/span> eight seconds, by some estimates<\/span><\/a> \u2013 so your design should quickly convey what you want your customers to know or feel about your product.<\/span><\/p>\n

Consider color. Colors are one of the most important design elements. \u00a0A color can convey a mood and draw in or turn off customers. When coming up with your packaging design spend a little time studying<\/span> color psychology<\/span><\/a> (yes, it\u2019s a thing).<\/span><\/p>\n

Are you looking for a certain feel for your packaging? \u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Here are some of the emotions these common colors evoke when used in branding materials:<\/b><\/p>\n
