Hire freelance packaging concept design services for your company

Cad Crowd's packaging concept designers can help with any project

Think about the last time you purchased a packaged good. What about it caught your interest? Well, before you grabbed it or even read further about what the product could do, you noticed the packaging. As they say, “you only have one time to make a first impression.” 

The package is the first impression. It is the item that can resonate with customers and create an immediate emotional connection. It also taps into the message of the brand and provides a brief description of what customers can expect. Therefore, the packaging that you choose for your product is critical. It should correctly convey the message you are trying to send to your target audience.

For ten years, the team at Cad Crowd has worked with entrepreneurs to help them meet their business goals through design. We believe that hiring a CAD designer is a pivotal first step to bringing your design ideas to life. This reason is why we created a platform dedicated to finding you the best designer for your project. For a better understanding of the importance of packaging concept design, and how our team can help you during this process, we invite you to read on.

What is packaging concept design?

Packaging concept design is the practice of facilitating the process of taking a design packaging idea from concept to completion. Essentially, it determines what ends up on the packaging that accompanies your product. The design process typically doesn’t just take the graphic content into account. Designers will many times work with business owners and companies to determine the material that will be used as well as the budget for producing the packaging. These specifications present limitations that designers have to work within to develop packaging that engages with audiences.

Why is packaging concept design crucial to your business?

Yes, you could simply create a package that lists the details of the product and includes a photo of what is inside. However, to sincerely “wow” customers and have them coming back for more, you have to put some thought into the packaging design. Here are some statistics showing why packaging concept design should be a priority for your product launch:

• Seventy-two percent of American consumers say their purchasing decision are influenced by the packaging design.
• Sixty-seven percent of American consumers say paper and cardboard-based packaging makes a product more attractive than other Packaging material.
• Sixty-one percent of customers say they are much more likely to repeat a purchase of a luxury product if it came in premium packaging.

For consumers, the way a product is presented matters. It can also make them spend more money than they intended. Lastly, the third stat reveals that the materials used for the packaging can almost be as important as the design itself. 

Here are a few other reasons you should invest in packaging concept design:

• Increases brand recognition – Packaging is an excellent way to convey your company’s brand messaging and include your logo. Packaging will allow your customers to see your product offering and brand messaging together consistently. 
• Addresses your customer’s needs – What does your product do? What can it accomplish for your audience? The packaging is an excellent way to offer some early education about your product and what it can do.
• Show sustainability – Environmental sustainability is on the minds of many of today’s customers. Developing well-crafted and environmentally sustainable packaging shows that you care about giving back. Doing this also helps your brand convey the message that it will make improving the world around it a priority.
• Functionality – You want to make it easy for your customers to carry your item and take it with them. Good packaging makes the purchasing—and after purchase—process functional and straightforward.

These are just a few of the reasons why you and your team should invest in packaging concept design. Nevertheless, the first step in this process is finding a designer who can help you develop your packaging concept and produce a design that hits on everything you need to make a great first impression. Packaging should enhance the customer experience and give them a preview of what they can expect from your brand.
