Packaging! Packaging! Packaging!
Over the years my packaging has changed so much. I feel that it is slowly improving but there is definitely a lot more that can be done until it is just right. Below you will see how the banana and coconut body butter labels have changed over time. I like the current font but in the future I would like to add more colors. I feel that the labels look a little boring and could use some more design to them.
Here are a few examples of the way my soaps are currently packaged. Although they are different you can see from the photos that I use a circle label on each of them. Soaps either come packaged in clear bags that are tied with a matching ribbon, shrink wrapped, or placed in various different designed printed bags. I really like the soaps that have an additional hand stamped label that goes along with the item inside. I feel it gives off a great handmade look and catches your eye.
The third set of photos are a way to see a bunch of different styles and the way they come packaged. What I am hoping to change most about my soaps appearance are the labels. I would really like to see more color added on all of them like I mentioned on the body butter and an overall improved professional look. I would like them all to be consistent and fun.
I have started gathering some photos on my Pinterest page of inspiring packaging. If you have any ideas and suggestions I would love to hear! http://pinterest.com/leeanaprovan/packaging/
Business Cards!
Here is an image of business cards that I had made in the past. For the future I would like to have cards that match my company. I like how these cards have a lot of color but before reading the name you don't even know what kind of company they are advertising. I would like to perhaps have my *new* logo on the front. I want to be sure that the final design looks fitting for both boys and girls since I offer products for both.
Thank you! ♥
With my packages I always like to include a thank you note. Just a little something to let you know that I care about your purchase. I have never really had a set design that I use and it is usually something pretty random. Sometimes it will go with each holiday and I will use a little snowman, pumpkin, or heart. When the holidays are not near I have used cupcakes, ice cream, different foods, and just plain paper. In the future I would like to have a consistent look that I am writing the little notes on. I like the idea of having them printed with a typed note to make them look professional and match my business look.

Fabulous! I love the pictures of all your packaging together-especially enjoy the vintage style paper bags, very fun! It must be complicated keeping track of so many styles of packaging though. Are you thinking of a more streamlined packaging that you can use for all your different products?
ReplyDeleteYay! I am so glad to hear that you enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteI definitely love the vintage style bags. The soaps packaged with those designs are probably my best selling ones through both Etsy and wholesale. It is a hard choice because there are a lot of different designs to keep track of like you mentioned. But I think I would actually like to lean more towards having the majority of my products packaged uniquely like those. I am thinking if I had consistent looking logos on all of my products it would bring everything together and look more matching like a brand. What do you think?
