Did you know, that 1/3 of consumer purchase decisions is based on packaging alone? Imagine you bring in a killer product to market, however, the packaging isn’t up to par. To think you spent all that time, money, and energy creating the perfect product, that won’t get discovered due to the subpar packaging!
The value of good packaging can either make or break your product. It communicates to the consumer what the brand stands for and the message it’s trying to portray. It’s the first thing customers see, even before seeing the product. You want to make a lasting impression, so people take the product off the shelf and add it to their cart.
