Quality Packaging Matters, Here’s Why
Packaging is so much more than merely a container that holds your product.
If you’ve ever watched the hit show “Shark Tank,” you’ve heard the “Sharks” preach (and at times admonish) on the important role that packaging plays. Packaging sells products.
In a crowded marketplace, your packaging provides shorthand ways for your consumers to assess the value of your product. If this sounds like a tall order, it is – and there are not many packaging solutions that will do.
In fact, there are a number of dynamics to consider when you’re deciding on one of the quality packaging solutions that’s appropriate for your product and your brand.
Promotion
When it comes to helping your product stand out on a shelf, your packaging and how it’s displayed at the Point of Purchase are often the first lines of defense.
Not only does quality packaging increase the marketability of your product, but it also helps consumers by making it clear what your product is, what your product does, and what your brand is all about.
Your packaging and the thoughtful display of the product overall create a buying experience for consumers that conveys the value of your product and can mean the difference between your product selling – or not.
Protection
Nothing decreases the perception of a product’s value more than damage. Purchasing a damaged product can also decrease consumer confidence in your brand overall.
But product damage does not have to be a cost of doing business and quality packaging can play a big role in mitigating this.
From protecting your product from physical damage and loss to spoilage and even theft, not having any quality packaging solutions in place is a big risk to upholding the integrity of your product.
It’s critical that the quality, design, and function of your packaging is of the same caliber as the quality of your product.
Branding
What messages does your packaging convey about your product and about your brand? It’s critical that the quality, design, and function of your packaging is of the same caliber as the quality of your product.
It’s also important for your packaging to be aligned with the values of your brand. For example, if you are marketing an eco-friendly product, you can use sustainable packaging. Similarly, if you are marketing a high-end product, your packaging should likewise reflect this.
The old saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover” does not apply in the marketplace and, ultimately, the last thing you want is for consumers to question your product or your brand based on how it’s packaged.
Investing in quality packaging can help with this.
