Where Can I Get Packaging Inspiration?
The majority of businesses use packaging regularly, but it is rarely the area in which their expertise lies. From shelf appeal and standing e-commerce brands apart, to product protection and minimising returns, packaging plays a vital role in brand success, so where can you go for packaging inspiration and advice?
Visit London Packaging Week
One option is to attend an industry event such as London Packaging Week. This event provides access to exhibitors, demonstrations and discussions. It is a great place to understand the full range of options in terms of sustainability, aesthetics and function in packaging design.
This event takes place at London Olympia on 21 & 22 September and features The Big Debate on ‘How to make true progress to minimise packaging’s impact on the planet’. Expect specialists in luxury packaging, innovative materials, fresh design ideas and stunning graphic print solutions.
For further information and to book your place, visit the event’s website: https://www.londonpackagingweek.com/
Contact your Local Packaging Company
The alternative option is to contact your local packaging company with an outline of your specification. Share what product the packaging is for, how it will be stored and/or shipped, dimensions, design ideas and volume.
Request their advice on packaging materials, design solutions and print finishes that can deliver to your expectations, within your budget. Some packaging manufacturers may be willing to send samples or design images to help you make an informed decision. Benefiting from their expertise can help you get what you need and avoid mistakes.
Packaging doesn’t need to be your specialist subject, just seek information and inspiration from those for who it is!
