Retail Packaging Tips

  • Express beliefs, purpose, and story. Today, customers shop brands, not only products.
  • Share a smile. Shoppers don’t necessarily remember every detail of the packaging, but they do recall how they felt when an unboxing experience appealed to their emotions.
  • Keep it simple. You can use every inch, but you don’t have to. Communicate your message, instructions, and product information but don’t overdo it!
  • Protect your product. Customers appreciate it when a brand creates a structured home for the product to ship safely and securely.

Our Process: How to Order Custom Retail Packaging

We’re here to support you every step of the way. Before you start creating your retail packaging, here is a quick look at our process. 

Step 1: Product Dimensions

What size box or bag do you need?

Start by measuring the dimensions of your product; height, width, and length, along with any other additional items going inside the box.

Step 2: Message

How will your customer know what to expect and how do we communicate high quality? 

First, picture this, is your packaging among other products on a shelf or is it on its way, through the mail, directly to your customer? This will help you determine the components of your package that are beneficial to address (or talk about).

And, always assume they don’t know your brand. We recommend providing the following information on your retail packaging. 

  • Information about your brand or product
  • Instructions on how to use your product
  • Your logo and tagline
  • Quotes from happy customers
  • A photo of your product
  • Something to relate to on a personal note (A joke or a quote)

Step 3: Design 

Your message should always connect with the design elements (think patterns or textures) that you choose to use on your product packaging. Work with the dimensions of your box, bag, or carton and use the space to capture shoppers’ attention!

You Have Options

  • Print in Full Color: Add a touch of pizazz to your product packages with foil, vibrant color choices, and glossy finishes to standout on the shelf.
  • Start with a Prototype: Turn your vision into reality with a custom prototype. See your idea in real life and test it with your product before it ever touches consumer hands.

If you need help with your packaging design, work with our team of experts. 

Step 4: Finalize 

It’s a good idea to double check that your design is exactly how you want it before you complete your order. 

We advise looking for spelling errors and getting a second pair of eyes on your design visuals if you can for added help.

Once we receive your order and you’ve approved the proof, it’s time to send your design to our printers!

Step 5: Display

You now have a beautiful, custom package for your product. Pack it all up your way, finally, and get ready to see the results!
