By studying your rivals packaging you can gain an understanding of what works in the market and which elements may be worth incorporating into your packaging design.

3. Take into account the size, shape and colors when analyzing your competitors packaging. 

These elements have an impact, on grabbing customers attention and effectively conveying your products message. Pay attention to the packaging elements that appear to be successful and think about how you can adapt them to suit your brand and product.

4. While drawing inspiration from packaging is important it’s equally crucial to add your unique touch. 

Find ways to make your packaging visually appealing, distinct and even better than what’s available in the market. This could involve incorporating design elements using high quality materials or adding details that align with your brands identity.

5. Make sure that your packaging aligns with the requirements of the store where it will be displayed. 

Many entrepreneurs overlook this aspect while creating packaging. It’s vital to consider how the store showcases products and any display restrictions they may have. For instance if the store displays items, in boxes but your packaging is designed for hanging cards you may need to make adjustments to meet their requirements.
