Description
Of course, good packaging design is a huge topic in itself, especially when you consider multifunctional packaging services across organizations and across packaging supply chains. Therefore, this article focuses only on one element in a well-designed and fully optimized package: graphics.
1. Good packaging design elements
There are not many constant rules for graphic design, but there are some best practices to help you succeed in a graphic design project. When designing graphics for packaging, these best practices include:
a. Choose a visually appealing palette that is consistent with the brand. Pay attention to the emotions that color may cause. Blue and green tend to calm down, while red stimulates movement.
b. Limit the number of fonts. Two fonts are usually recommended.
c. Less can be more. Don't try to hold too much information in a small area. Make the most of white space and avoid clutter.
d. Ensure that the design is appropriate for the company, product (or product line) and target customers.
2. Don't sacrifice the functionality of the packaging
Good packaging design takes more consideration into appearance. Be aware of design elements that may exceed printing limits and may compromise reproduction quality. Avoid using fine or very detailed illustrations and processes that require multiple applications. It is best to avoid using design elements that leave little error during the production phase. For example, intricate patterns throughout the panel will be die cut, which may cause production difficulties.
In addition, many industries comply with regulatory requirements that may affect packaging design. If you are designing retail packaging graphics for highly regulated products, please ensure that you fully understand all applicable packaging regulations to avoid cost increases during the design verification phase, such as cigarette tin packaging, and the label of the package needs to be reviewed by the relevant authorities .
