Five key points about packaging bags

Human life is inseparable from packaging bags, and all products require packaging. There are so many products on the shelves in shopping malls, so what do we need to do with packaging bags to make our products stand out? The following 5 points are what manufacturers need to pay attention to when choosing packaging bags.

Choose the right type of packaging bags

Food manufacturers should do market research before deciding to choose a certain bag type. We can go to the supermarket to see what kind of bag types our competitors use, and we can learn from their choices. Or we can choose a completely different bag type from our peers in order to be different. But before doing this, we need to consider the possible consequences of doing so, whether it will be regarded as an outlier by customers and ultimately not selected.

Don’t try to put too much effort into the packaging bags

When it comes to packaging, “less is more” couldn’t be more true. We don’t need to have too many features for our bags, but the right size is also essential. Regarding the thickness of packaging bags, this is an issue worthy of our attention. Some food manufacturers are often worried that their products will not be well protected and choose thicker thicknesses, resulting in increased costs and loss of some competitiveness. Here we suggest that if the product is not hard or spiky, we do not need to use too thick material. At the same time, we must also consider the weight of the product itself. The thickness of the material should be proportional to the weight of the product.

Don’t blindly add zippers to your product packaging bags. We need to first consider whether our products need zippers. For example, is the product meant to be used once? Or are there any small packages inside the big package? The function of the zipper is to preserve freshness. If your product does not need to be kept fresh, then do not add a zipper.

Talking too much can overwhelm consumers

When designing packaging we have to remember to keep the text to a minimum, we suggest telling a story on the bag but we need to keep it concise and to the point. A large amount of text will overwhelm consumers, because it is impossible for consumers to read all your text carefully during a shopping mall. The consequence of a large amount of text on packaging bags is that consumers do not understand what you want to express. , and eventually have to put down your product. When designing packaging bags, we must make good use of the front of the packaging and choose the core information that best represents your product to display on the front of the packaging bag.

Convey the right message on packaging bags

Quality and taste are the final factors in consumers’ purchase decisions, especially when people need to buy again. No matter how healthy and qualified a product is, as long as it tastes bad, consumers will not buy your product again. Taste always comes first, because we can’t tell whether it’s healthy or not in the short term. Sadly, many food manufacturers mistakenly believe that the health of food is the reason why consumers will repurchase, and they blindly highlight the healthiness of their products on the packaging.

Pay attention to the connection between color and flavor

Consumers are very sensitive to the connection between color and flavor due to long-term exposure to it. Therefore, when designing packaging bags, we need to consider what the color corresponding to the flavor should be, so as to provide consumers with a simple visual understanding and simplify the decision-making process.
For example, red represents spicy flavor, yellow represents original flavor, blue represents sea salt flavor, dark red represents barbecue flavor, etc.
