The packaging is important for multiple aspects of the product and the brand. It is not just solely responsible for protecting the product but in fact leverages the brand image many times. Market experts consider packaging as one of the important aspects of product and brand marketing.
Let’s discuss the significance of packaging through these points:
Product protection: One of the first aims of packaging is to secure the products against any kind of harm or breakdown through different phases of the supply chain. In order to safeguard the product, it is processed through different stages of packaging which are primary packaging, secondary packaging and tertiary packaging. The packaging of a product also depends on the type and nature of its content.
Marketing: An ideal packaging also helps in promoting the product and the brand. A good packaging intends to leverage the brand value. A beautifully packaged product instantly catches the attention of the consumers from the shelf. Moreover, a well-packaged product outshines other competing products.
Anti-duplication features: Counterfeiting is one of the biggest threats to products and brands. It not just leads to loss for companies but also wreaks havoc on the product and brand image of the companies. An ideal packaging must include anti-counterfeiting protection like holograms, security labels, QR codes, scratch codes among others.
Recyclable: Packaging leads to a large amount of waste generation. Plastic and plastic-based products are creating an ecological imbalance. This has led to the development of new packaging products which can be recycled after use. More and more companies are laying emphasis on using recyclable packaging solutions for their products.
No wonder, all the points discussed above are being implemented in the development of new packaging products. It is high time that organizations pay heed to multiple aspects of packaging in order to boost their product and brand in the market.
