Designing Mylar Bags With Long Term Brand Growth in Mind

Packaging choices should always be made with the overall direction of the brand (short term and long term) in mind. Packaging with short-term appeal without considering long-term flexibility will be very costly to change later.

The first step in creating a scalable package is the base design/ layout system of your packaging. A well-designed base layout means that you are able to change out flavors, SKUs or types of products with ease without having to create all new packaging from scratch. This allows you to maintain brand consistency, but with variety.

Utilising colour as a way of coding your products is an extremely useful and efficient way to help your customer navigate your products quickly when done correctly; When done randomly; it creates confusion. It is as important to have consistent placements of colours, as well as using consistent colour tones.

The types of print techniques used should match your growth strategy. Designs that require super-specific effects or very small details are difficult to produce when printing at a large scale. Simple designs generally reproduce more consistently than intricate designs when produced on a large scale.

Consumer feedback should drive design improvements for your packaging. What consumers discuss in person and on social media about your product can give you valuable insights into what they are drawn to when purchasing your product. Packaging is a dynamic process and a continual conversation that can improve through time.
