When you strategize for your e-commerce business, what do you usually think about? Choosing which products to sell? How to source product? Fulfillment operations? Warehousing? Shipping? Costs and regulations of shipping?

Of course, these things are important to consider if you want to make your e-commerce business successful. However, did you ever think of this: packaging?

When e-commerce entrepreneurs think about packaging, many of them think only of dull, brown, “formal” packages. No design, no brand, no personality, just a dull, brown package!

Why Packaging is Important?

“Design is the silent ambassador of your brand.”

What do you expect when you’re about to receive a gift? Aside from the gift itself, there’s one thing we expect to look good – the packaging of the gift! Whenever we receive those beautifully-packed gifts, whether we think about it or not, we appreciate the packaging of the gift.

If we appreciate the packaging of the gift, don’t you think that your customers will appreciate the packaging of their products, too? Even brick-and-mortar retail businesses find creative ways to package their product in a beautiful way and one that will represent their brand.

Here are some of the reasons why you should consider customizing your package:

1) Customize your packaging for design

It’s obvious that design is one main reason why you are encouraged to customize your product’s package. As said earlier, we appreciate a beautifully-packed gifts; the same is true for our packaging!

When we have a beautiful packaging, it will be memorable to our customers even though they may not consciously think about it.

2) Customized packaging gives you an opportunity to represent your brand

When you design, you don’t just put design on your package. You should also think about your brand and how you can represent it through your package.

But of course, you don’t just slap your logo and you’re done; you still need to think of how to design your package while aligning it with your brand!

3) Customized packaging can boost your sales

Of course, there are many factors that affect your sales. But if you’re doing things right, packaging can give you an extra boost because if your customers find out that you package your products beautifully, they will buy again from your partly because of the packaging (even though, again, they don’t consciously think about it).
