PACKAGING DESIGN
Packaging design is the strategic process of creating the visual and functional outer shell for a product, encompassing graphics, materials, and structure to attract customers, communicate brand identity, protect contents, and provide information, often involving steps from research and concept to prototyping and market launch. Effective packaging grabs attention, builds brand recognition, and influences purchasing decisions by telling a brand's story through elements like colors, typography, shapes, and imagery, making it a crucial marketing tool.
