You may have come across a logo of a brand and found it impressive. But what really seals the deal is the product packaging. With different colors, designs, and sizes to choose from, businesses are doing everything nowadays to make their products’ packaging ideas that make stand out from the rest.

Let’s discuss ten packaging ideas; everyone should have a go at!

Boxes with Interior Printing

Interior printing gives a new dimension to the packaging game. Corrugated boxes with catchy prints inside take the unboxing experience to a whole new level. Custom prints inside the box give an exciting ‘habitat’ to the particular product and impress the customers. Corrugated packaging offers easy printing capabilities both on the interior and the exterior.

E-commerce products should have packaging that can bear harsh handling. On the other hand, the customer should also enjoy the unboxing experience. The design of the corrugated boxes takes care of the rough handling, and one way to give customers the unboxing satisfaction is interior printing which most companies ignore. So it’s a great idea to make your product stand out and attract your customers.

Adding some creativity to the flaps of juice boxes

Juice and milk boxes have flaps on the corners, which are either glued or turned inside. They make the packaging secure and are a vital part of the pack. One impressive way of using these flaps is by making them a bird’s feet, such as a duck or a penguin. The company can print a penguin on the front of the box and open the lower flaps on the outer direction to give life to a penguin….on a juice box.

Window boxes for gifts

Gifts are something which ‘NEED’ some sort of packaging. And what better way to package them than a box with a window. Of course, these are for small presents such as cookies and chocolates or candles and soaps. But they give that ‘charm’ to the gifts and induce a luxe touch to them.

Heart-shaped boxes

Gifts can also find peace and style in heart-shaped boxes. Ideal for flowers and chocolates, these boxes will give its contents that ‘lovey-dovey’ feeling and make sure your partner melts for you. Add a bit of color to them to make these boxes look out-of-the-box and maybe tie a ribbon around for the icing on the cake.

Skinny jeans in ‘skinny’ packaging

One of the best ways to package skinny jeans is to wrap them up in a ‘skinny’ roll. Only a few companies have don’t it so far, and it is an excellent way to promote jeans, especially skinny jeans. The final product will look like a leg of a thin person with the jeans on, which will be an instant eye-catcher for the customers.

Pillow boxes

If you want to gift something to a friend or loved one in a unique yet classy way, then go for pillow boxes. These boxes are exceptional when it comes to storing compact items such as jewelry and candy. They are easy to handle and have no handles attached. The reason why they are called pillow boxes is that their shape is like a pillow.

Leaf-shaped boxes for soaps

Squares and rectangles can bore people as they have been used for packaging since forever. One impressive way of packaging a product, let’s take an herbal soap, is by packaging it in a leaf-shaped box with a leaf printed on the lid. It is a very creative way to impress your target audience from first sight. The design will attract customers when the product is on the shelves of different stores and will probably persuade them to buy it.

The trick is using a different shape rather than the same old squarish and rectangular designs being used since the Iron Age.

Corrugated boxes with a handle

When the weight of the contents of a corrugated box is heavy, there should be some sort of a grip so that the box can be lifted easily. Adding a handle to the top eliminates this problem, and items such as laptops and lamps can be easily stored and transported in these boxes.

The handle is attached to the top part of the box, making the item ‘stand’ easily and preventing damage.

Corrugated ballot boxes

Suppose you are conducting any contest or donation drive or any other type of competition, then corrugated ballot boxes can do wonders for you. They are available with a removable header for a sign or graphic and a side pocket for a pamphlet or brochure. They are lightweight and can be folded flat for easy transportation.

Cardboard egg carton

One of the best ways to package eggs is by using cardboard. The trick is to keep the top transparent so that the customers can inspect the eggs quickly. Also, they should be kept in different compartments, so they don’t break.

The Bottom Line

Making the packaging impressive is just as important as marketing and other aspects of the product. You don’t want your customer to feel that they have bought an inferior product, so spending those extra bucks on the packaging will not be a loss to you.
