Unlock Your Brand’s Potential: Elevate with Custom Packaging & Labels

Custom packaging solutions can make the difference between someone choosing your product, or someone else’s. Beautiful, unique, custom boxes and die cut labels help complete the customer experience, making your product memorable and have people come back for more. 

In this guide, we’ll show you all the ways you can customize your product, from mailer boxes to flex pouches, that will make your product pop and your customers excited to dig in. 

Understanding Custom Packaging 

For small businesses and emerging brands, having custom packaging for products in your suite may seem out of reach. But for businesses hoping to grow and retain existing customers, it’s important to build brand recognition across all products, campaigns, and branding opportunities. Custom packaging is the perfect way to accomplish that. 

What Sets Custom Packaging and Products Apart?

Let’s start with an example of a typical customer experience at a farmer’s market. There are two bakeries close to each other, selling similar products – breads, jams, and other treats. The first bakery sells each item in a brown paper bag, standard plastic boxes, or mason jars. The other has their custom boxes with logos on every item, custom mylar bags for their cookies, and matching labels for their jam jars. 

Which of these bakeries appears more professional and more established? Even when both are selling delicious goods, the human eye is more often attracted to the second bakery.

The Benefits of Customization

Research points to the fact that custom printed product boxes, mailer boxes, and product labels do play a role in influencing how a customer views your brand and products. With high-end finishes, like UV spot coating or specialized Silver Inks, you can take your product labels and packaging to the next level.

1. Brand identity and recognition

Custom packaging plays a crucial role in establishing and reinforcing brand identity. When you incorporate unique design elements, logos, colors, and messaging, you can create packaging that reflects your brand’s personality and values.

Consistent branding across mailer boxes, product packages, and labels helps consumers easily recognize and recall your brand, which fosters a sense of trust and familiarity. 

Your packaging is a representation of your brand, so it’s important to ensure it will stand out on the shelf and in the mind of consumers!

2. Differentiation in the market

In today’s competitive market, differentiation is essential for capturing consumer attention and gaining a competitive edge. 

When you create custom packaging for your products and mailers that are unique, memorable, and aligned with your brand’s values, you can attract the right customers, seeking novel and distinct products. 

Also, customization offers flexibility in design and functionality, so you can use and send packages that are tailored to your customers’ specific needs and preferences. Think: eco-friendly materials, flexibility for hot or cold products, and specific sizes. 

3. Enhanced customer experience 

The first point of physical content between your brand and your customers is the package the product arrives in. 

With custom product labels and packaging, you can enhance the overall customer experience by creating packaging that not only protects the product, but engages with consumers. 

The right packaging can evoke emotions, like excitement, anticipation, or satisfaction, making the unboxing experience even more enjoyable. 

Personalized, custom packaging creates a sense of connection and loyalty among customers who feel appreciated, valued, and seen by the brand. 

Here’s a tip: leverage custom packaging to tell your brand’s story, share product information, and add even more value with exclusive offers. 

Custom Mailer Boxes: Enhancing Presentation and Protection

A custom mailer box arriving at your customer’s doorstep is the first glimpse they get into the actual physical usage of your product. Make it stand out! 

Typical Use-Cases of Custom Mailer Boxes

Standing out is essential for e-commerce businesses. Gone are the days of mundane, generic packaging; now, it’s all about making a lasting impression. Custom mailer boxes have emerged as a pivotal tool for elevating brand identity and enriching the customer experience across various industries.

E-commerce Shipping

E-commerce companies, selling items like flowers, apparel, and unique foods, should utilize custom mailer boxes to accentuate their brand and continue the customer experience. Your high-quality product arriving in a plain, government-issued, cardboard box is so last century.

Subscription Boxes

Whether they are unique for the season or custom all year-round, having custom mailer boxes arriving every month or quarter is an important aspect of sending subscription boxes. Your customers are expecting their shipment on time and will be excited to see the box arrive! . 

Promotional Campaigns

Companies often use mailer boxes as part of their marketing and promotional campaigns. These boxes can be customized with company logos, slogans, and branding elements, making them ideal for sending out promotional materials, product samples, or exclusive offers to customers or partners.

Gift Packaging

Mailer boxes are also popular for gift packaging purposes. They offer a convenient and aesthetically pleasing way to present gifts for various occasions, such as birthdays, holidays, weddings, and corporate events. With customizable designs and printing options, mailer boxes can be tailored to suit the theme or preferences of the recipient.

Folding Product Cartons: Versatility Meets Functionality

Look at those beautiful boxes on the shelf! Having custom product cartons, which delight consumers, can increase sales and brand loyalty. 

Typical Custom Product Packaging Use-Cases 

Where first impressions are everything, custom product packaging emerges as a cornerstone of brand identity and consumer engagement. From the allure of beauty products to the visual spectacle of product displays, every package tells a story – one that captivates, inspires, and ultimately drives purchase decisions.

Custom Beauty Product Packaging

Custom packaging for beauty products is one of the most typical usages of custom packaging. Each moisturizer, lipstick, or mascara should be protected and promoted by the box it is sold in. 

Create unique beauty product packaging for each different product in your line, that both identifies it as part of your brand but also shows off its quality item inside. 

Product Display

No matter what your company sells, having a beautiful display of your products is an important marketing tool. Creating product packaging in all shapes and sizes, customized for each individual product, helps promote your brand’s identity among consumers and generate important awareness of your goods.
