How Custom Printed Product Packaging Can Make Your Product Visually Exciting
There is not getting away from it. When you buy something new and it comes well presented you just feel more excited about receiving it.
Just think about how Apple so beautifully present their products and you will appreciate that good design and great custom printed packaging can mean a great deal to the end user.
I well remember getting my first iPod. Frankly I’d never seen anything quite like it before. But there was just something about the way that the box was constructed and the instructions had been printed that made me excited about opening this new toy.
Since then other manufacturers have caught onto the idea that producing high quality printed packaging can dramatically boost the prestige of the product inside.
Can you imagine if that iPod was simply sold in a Jiffy Bag? Would it ever have been quite so successful? The answer is of course no.
Custom printed product packaging can take many forms of course. From software packaging to CD pochette or digipack. In fact the range of possibilities is endless and the number of different materials that can now be printed on, from card to plastic, is growing every day.
So the best advice is to talk to experts about your printed product packaging needs. And you should ask to see samples for two reasons:
First because it will give you ideas about the possibilities for your own printing packaging.
And second because you will then be in a better position to know whether this particular company are genuinely in a position to help you.
That last point is particularly important because, unlike with general jobbing printers, customer product packaging printing is a specialist field which relatively few printing companies are in. This means that you should take extra care to ensure that the company you are requesting quotes from are genuinely the ones who would be producing your printed packaging. Or to put it another way, there is a great deal of sub-contracting involved in product packaging. But you really want to work directly with the firm who are going to be manufacturing your custom packaging.
In these days of highly competitive markets customised product packaging really can help make you stand out from the competition. The MAC success story where they revived themselves from an almost dead outfit via a line of successful and beautifully designed products including the iPod, iPhone, iTouch and iPad is a case in point. In each case they went to the trouble to present their products in stunning customised printed packaging. Had they not have bothered it is quite possible that they would not be around today.
So take a fresh look at your own product’s packaging with a view to taking it to the next level.
