How to Design Product Packaging

Packaging aims to present a unique design that will stand out amongst the competition, encouraging consumers to purchase/adopt, and use the product and service. Through the competitive analysis, supporting product analysis, and supporting technical analysis, you will be seeking answers to the following questions:

1. What design style most appeals to your target audience(s)?
2. What colors most appeal to your target audience(s)? What colors are your competitors using?
3. Are the preliminary packaging plans correct?
4. Are you planning delivery on the most popular platforms in the proper stages of the rollout?

Packaging design plays a vital role in helping to communicate the image of the product and service. This is true even for mobile applications and SaaS products where the packaging combines the user interface, imagery, icons, and so forth. The development of packaging design consists of choosing a brand and a product name and then developing a graphic design. The graphic design should be attractive and informative, giving details on its purpose and how to use the product.
