Five creative packaging design ideas for your promotional products

Do you notice the packaging when you receive a delivery? Can you instantly recognise who it’s come from without opening it?

Research* suggests unsuitable packaging, even if there is no damage, affects the customers’ opinion of the sender and possibly whether they would buy from them in the future. So when you’ve got your quality products ready, how to you present it in a way that grabs attention and makes the right first impression?

It’s a fact that consumers notice creative packaging. There are plenty of packaging options when it comes to your promotional merchandise, from individual mug boxes, gift boxes for multiple items, pen tubes, metal gift containers for USBs…..you name it, we can source it.

But when it comes to making your package stand out, here are five quick creative and unique packaging examples from Canva that can help make your packaging appeal to the masses.
