The importance of creating a robust pack architecture in branding & packaging design

Getting your hierarchy right on pack can be the difference between standing out or disappearing on shelf.

Implementing a clear, cohesive brand architecture across core and extended products is imperative both for shelf standout and to aid consumer navigation. This architecture provides familiarity while introducing cues that differentiate offerings. Done correctly, it helps consumers navigate the range in an efficient way.

A solid architecture creates consistency. Customers appreciate it when a business has a consistent brand. In fact, consistent presentation of a brand has seen to increase revenue by 33 percent (Lucidpress, 2019).

So why is this important? It takes between 5-7 impressions to even start creating brand awareness. When creating packaging design, especially on large ranges or ranges with multiple offerings, brands should make sure they repeatedly emphasise the brand uniform and assets in a consistent way, as this will help recall.

Simply put, architecture defines were all the important bits should go.

The importance of colour choice in branding & packaging design

Colour is one of the most important elements of packaging design. Research shows that 52% of consumers first notice the colour on packaging before anything else.

The right use of colour in packaging can instantly guide consumers to a brand and convey key product qualities. When used strategically and consistently, colour is an impactful visual shortcut that builds brand recognition. However, the wrong colour choices can have the opposite effect.

This podcast covers best practices and watch-outs when working with colour in packaging design.

When should I change or update my branding & packaging design?

Most brand owners have been there and asked themselves this question. It’s really easy to get complacent and refuse the need for a change to your branding and packaging design because you’re either currently doing ok, or there is no budget. But when is the right time – when you are on the upwards slope or when you are sliding down?
