Designing Cosmetic Packaging Boxes

Cosmetic Boxes' Essential Elements

When shopping at a retail store, the variety of colors, patterns, textures, and shapes is bound to excite customers. Cosmetic boxes are more creative than other products. Any premium box's goal is to market the product while protecting it. As a result, cosmetic boxes must be of high quality and aesthetically pleasing while promoting the brand. When looking for packaging design inspiration, keep a few key elements in mind to demonstrate how cosmetic boxes stand out.

To begin, color is extremely important in cosmetic packaging design. Because of the nature of the cosmetics industry, any color scheme is acceptable; however, if you want potential customers to read the brand's message from your packaging color scheme, you must understand what the different colors represent.

Regardless of industry, the classic packaging color scheme will always be black and white. Black represents a mysterious, high-class look that gives the brand a sense of luxury and timeless elegance. White is a color that represents purity and cleanliness, and many whitening products use it as their color scheme.

Aside from the two classic colors of black and white, red, purple, and green are also frequently used in cosmetic boxes, such as red and purple in the packaging of anti-aging products, and green in the packaging of green environmental protection. Second, similar to colors, fonts, and typography used in cosmetic boxes convey the brand's emotion as well as the product's message. Choosing the right fonts, on the other hand, is not a difficult task.

The fonts in a cosmetic box do not have to be consistent; you can use two to three different fonts. The primary goal in choosing fonts for text such as product information and brand information is to ensure that it is easy to read, regardless of font and typography, so clear, easy-to-read fonts should be the main focus. Second, cursive, handwritten text, and so on can be used as a display as well as to improve the overall aesthetics of the text elements of the box. Finally, the brand Logo font should be consistent with the brand image, followed by the brand of all products, websites, and mailboxes. This will allow the user to better recognize your brand.

How to choose a cosmetic box design style

Customizing cosmetic boxes doesn't have to be a difficult decision. With the help of some industry standards, it can be much easier than you think. Boxes designed for premium cosmetic brands should be unique and eye-catching enough to stand out, yet understated enough to maintain a high-end image. So do you know what style you should choose for your cosmetic packaging design?

Your box design should depend on your brand, and while there are many guidelines to follow nowadays regarding cosmetic packaging boxes, there is no exact formula. So designers still have very much room for imagination when it comes to designing cosmetic boxes.

Apart from considering your brand, you should also consider who is your target customer. Is your product aimed at young women or aunties? Only by determining the target customers can you better design cosmetic boxes for them.

Finally, the box design should also consider the production budget, If the budget is too low, the visual effect of the box as well as the safety can not be guaranteed, If the budget is too high, it may increase the overall cost of the product. Therefore, when designing the box should balance the performance and budget to create a cosmetic box that meets the needs of the product.

Once the parameters related to the target customer and the packaging budget have been defined, it is time to start exploring the basic elements of packaging design. While there is no one-size-fits-all solution to designing cosmetic boxes, certain classic design trends tend to be more popular with customers, such as minimalist packaging design. In the luxury market, an understated look usually yields better results than flashy design elements.

In addition to the visual effect, the tactile effect of the box can also enhance the premium nature of the box. The issue of tactile packaging can be solved by the selection of materials as well as the process of packaging boxes. For material selection, tactile paper and art paper are much better than the tactile effect of ordinary packaging paper. In the process, embossing process, embossing process, and laminating process can improve the tactile effect of the box.

When designing a high-grade box for cosmetic packaging boxes, understated packaging elements may resonate more easily with potential customers. Therefore, when choosing a design style, brands should select design trends that are classic and can stand the test of time.

What messages do cosmetic boxes convey

If you are preparing to launch a new cosmetic product and have identified who the product's target users are. But when customizing the box, what message do you need to convey to your customers through the cosmetic box? And in what form should that information be conveyed?

Brand Information

Cosmetics is a very mature industry, so many brands can be considered household names already. For example, the old Chinese national brand Bakelite, the international brand Estee Lauder, and so on. Compared to new brands, potential customers trust their familiar brands as well as products more.

In addition to the user's subjective choice, the cosmetic packaging of well-known brands seems to be more easily recognized by potential users. The reason for this is that most well-known brands maintain consistency of brand elements in their customized boxes and brand marketing. So for new brands, not only do they need to design design elements that will attract users' attention, but they should also be consistent with the rest of the brand's marketing.

Packaging is an important part of the shopping experience, when you are looking at the products on the retail shelves, your brain subconsciously makes initial judgments about the cosmetics in front of you. Therefore, we need to get the attention of the target user through packaging design. The most basic thing to do is to find out the target user's preferences and what they want from cosmetics using a survey.

Product Information

Cosmetic packaging boxes are one of the best tools to convey the customer experience as well as showcase the product. When you are selling a perfume, you can add the same scent of the perfume in the box to showcase the features of the product.

According to marketing professors' research, accurate communication of the product's message as well as its benefits in the box influences more than 30% of purchasing decisions. While a creatively designed box can help to attract potential customers' attention, customers will only make a purchase decision if they have a basic understanding of the product and if it meets their needs. Although the new creative cosmetic packaging box will attract the user's audience, its purpose is to encourage potential customers to buy their products. We must strike a balance in the customized packaging box.
