To sell well, it must meet at least three other criteria: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Packaging design that grabs attention<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Every customer who goes shopping in a supermarket, grocery store, or pharmacy sees an average of 5 products per second. That is why it is important for your product to be different and stand out from competing products\u2014with its shape, colors, packaging material, and a combination of many different design parameters, so that it visually screams, &#8220;Hey, I&#8217;m here!&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Packaging design highlights the main benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the design has caught the eye of the potential customer, there is approximately half a second to explain why your product is valuable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"876\" height=\"1016\" src=\"https:\/\/zen.studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/primer-dobra-opakovka.png\" alt=\"Example of good packaging design\" class=\"wp-image-1678\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zen.studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/primer-dobra-opakovka.png 876w, https:\/\/zen.studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/primer-dobra-opakovka-259x300.png 259w, https:\/\/zen.studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/primer-dobra-opakovka-768x891.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 876px) 100vw, 876px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Packaging of a vegan organic bar.

Packaging is adapted to the realities of the points of sale<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It must also be valuable to the store. If the volume is reduced, for example, the product will be more readily accepted by retailers. It is also important how quickly and accurately the product is handled by store clerks.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From concept to shelf<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The above criteria are important and mandatory. They stem from an understanding of sales channels and target groups. The actual implementation of the packaging design requires a range of other knowledge and skills\u2014color, typography, illustration, photography, as well as knowledge of the properties of materials. The process from the conceptual stage to the production of the final packaging can be long &#8211; sometimes the product itself can change its properties or lifespan depending on the packaging.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"691\" src=\"https:\/\/zen.studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rawganic-packaging-design.jpg\" alt=\"Actual photo of packaging designed by Zen Studio\" class=\"wp-image-1680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zen.studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rawganic-packaging-design.jpg 940w, https:\/\/zen.studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rawganic-packaging-design-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zen.studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rawganic-packaging-design-768x565.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dessert bar packaging.

Based on this analysis, the packaging is positioned, taking into account the client&#8217;s history and marketing goals. Once a strategy has been chosen, we apply our knowledge of materials, technologies, graphic design, and printing to move from idea to prototype. We try to achieve maximum impact while optimizing material waste and cost.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"732\" src=\"https:\/\/zen.studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/blister-box-design.jpg\" alt=\"Blister box packaging design\" class=\"wp-image-1682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zen.studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/blister-box-design.jpg 940w, https:\/\/zen.studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/blister-box-design-300x234.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zen.studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/blister-box-design-768x598.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Blister box design for the same series of dessert bars.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are the main criteriafor successful product packaging?
