Signs You Need A Packaging Redesign

Signs You Need A Packaging Redesign Product packaging is one of the first things consumers notice about an item. Eye-catching product packaging, therefore, is an absolute must. While consistent product packaging is important for maintaining continuity and brand identity, a bit of change now and then could do your business good. Below are a few signs you need a packaging redesign and the positive impact it can have on the success of your products.

Competitors have changed

Competition is a major driving force for almost all business decisions. Staying abreast of the changes your competitors are making is the best way to ensure your company stays on the cutting edge. Therefore, if you to notice your competitors have undergone a recent packaging redesign, it may be in your best interest to follow suit. Keeping track of your competitors’ changes will help you differentiate your company and products from other similar items. As you redesign your packaging, try to choose design elements that will set you apart from the competition and make your product stand out on retail shelves.

Trends have shifted

Design trends can come and go quite quickly, particularly when it comes to product packaging and graphics. Just take a look at the difference in logos and packaging from the 1960s to the present day. As such, make sure your packaging is up to date with the latest design trends to keep your products relevant in the eye of consumers. While retro packaging can be a fun change of pace every once in a while, choosing a style that’s more in line with current trends will provide a bit more longevity. It will also reduce the number of packaging redesigns your product will need to undergo in the future.

Sales are slow

A drop in sales is one of the most easily recognizable signs you need a packaging redesign. If all other aspects of your marketing strategy are performing well, but sales are still low, you may need to consider giving your product packaging a makeover. Updating your product packaging, even slightly, will draw consumers’ eyes once again and reintroduce them to the same products they already know and love. With a renewed interest in the product (thanks to an appealing packaging redesign), you’ll start to see sales increase in no time.

Costs have increased

If the cost of your current product packaging has recently surged, it may be time to redesign the packing in a more budget-friendly manner. Adjusting packaging design to utilize less material will help cut costs, as will switching to less expensive packaging material. Maintaining current packaging size and style and switching only the material used will cut down manufacturing costs while retaining your packaging’s unique design.
