The survival of small businesses is contingent on many things, but they all have to work for at least 50% of marketers to take a chance on them. A small business can't afford to invest in a strategy that may or may not work because it can't afford to take chances on its returns. According to an Ipsos survey, 72% of American consumers say a product's packaging affects their purchase decisions. Since you need a sure-fire strategy, we're here to tell you that nothing quite hits the nail on the head like The NetMan Corp's packaging design in Miami. Check out some ideas below to inspire a bankable packaging design for your products. Go the Extra Mile with a Custom Delivery Package Your shipping box doesn't have to sport your color theme to have a brand identity. You can easily use a regular cardboard box and print your logo and message anywhere on its external surface. Custom shipping boxes don't demand as much work as internal packaging. Unlike the latter, you only need to focus on high-quality print for your shipping boxes. The ink needs to be flawless if you're going with the regular black-on-brown combination. Before printing, aim for small-scale production, so you don't face warehousing issues if supply supersedes demand. Example: The Detox Market The Detox Box by The Detox Market looks like any other brown box.

Most stores won't display your non-square-shaped boxes if they aren't luxury products because they aren't willing to give up shelf space for something that doesn't even cost all that much. They might be willing to display triangle-shaped sandwich boxes, but if that's not what you're selling, they'd much rather save the space for stackable items. However, stores might be willing to accommodate expensive chocolate, cookies, jewelry, or wine. If that's what you're hoping to sell, you can be as eccentric with the packaging as you want. Example: Bag Ladies Tea The Novel Teas by Bag Ladies Tea are known for their oddly shaped packaging. Most of their cardboard bags are shaped like brown lunch bags folded at the top, but brown bags are the last thing they resemble. With an attractive print, bold font, and a standout box, they tempt shoppers to try them at least once. Add a Wrap for Added Flair Some small businesses aim for minimalistic but end up with boring packaging after initial customer reviews. If you don't have enough resources to start the design process from scratch, hire professional graphic designers for branded wraps, which you can wrap [...]
