The packaging of a product plays a huge part in creating its identity and making it attractive to its target audience. Done well, packaging can transform an everyday product into an iconic piece of design, making the contents even more attractive to prospective buyers and ensuring the product a place in design history.
Though it takes a little more time, imagination and creativity to come up with original and innovative packaging design, the extra effort you or your marketing team put in will be well worth it when your product hits the shelves. To get inspired and get your creative juices flowing, here are a few examples of outstanding packaging design.
Parmesan pencil
Sometimes an idea makes so much sense, it’s hard to believe no one else thought of it before. If you like to enjoy your parmesan in thin, delicate sheaves, this original packaging design will suit you perfectly.
Moulded into the shape of a pencil, the parmesan can easily be shaved from the stick using a special ‘sharpener’. Incredibly effective and easy to use, this tasty piece of stationery will transform meal times forever.
