Custom Folding Cartons: Practical Design Tips

Let’s say you’re launching your own brand of scented handmade candles and you’re thinking about what packaging you find interesting for your product. If you already have a visual identity for your business, separate its elements – such as fonts, colors, and logo – and read the tips below, I bet things will become clearer in your mind.

1. Choose the Right Design Elements

The design of your personalized folding cartons is crucial in communicating your brand’s message and values. When choosing design elements such as color, typography, and graphics, consider your target audience and what would resonate with them. Make sure your design is consistent with your brand’s overall look and feel and reflects your brand’s personality.

1. Add a Personal Touch

Adding a personal touch to your folding cartons can make your brand feel more relatable and memorable. This can be achieved through custom illustrations, hand-drawn lettering, or personalized messages. You can also add QR codes or NFC tags to your packaging to provide customers with additional information or incentives.

1. Use High-Quality Materials

The quality of your folding cartons can impact the perceived value of your product. Choose high-quality materials that reflect your brand’s image and values. You can also consider eco-friendly options such as recycled or biodegradable materials to appeal to customers who prioritize sustainability.

1. Optimize for Functionality

Your folding cartons should not only look good but also be functional. Consider the size and shape of your product and how it will fit in the packaging. Make sure your cartons are easy to open, close, and store, and that they provide adequate protection for your product.

1. Showcase Your Brand Story

Your personalized folding cartons can also tell the story of your brand. Use your packaging to showcase your brand’s history, mission, or unique selling points. This can help build trust with customers and differentiate your brand from competitors.
