Packaging Design
Effective packaging works hard for your brand, creating a human connection, conveying your brand's promise, and—most importantly—building trust. In short, your packaging design plays a crucial role in not only functionality but also in marketing. With twenty years of packaging experience, deep materials expertise, and close relationships with reliable vendors, Motiv designs innovative packaging that embodies the ideals of beauty, practicality, honesty, and sustainability.
At Motiv, packaging design is a multidisciplinary field that combines aesthetics, functionality, and regulatory compliance to create one-of-a-kind solutions. It’s a critical element of marketing and product development, and we take pride in creating packaging that becomes a true part of the brand experience.
Here is what we focus on with every packaging design client:
Brand Identity
Packaging serves as one of the most powerful branding tools. It communicates a brand's identity, values, and personality—and consistency in packaging design helps build brand recognition.
Shelf Presence
This is a place where we really thrive—optimizing your packaging design for shelf visibility and appeal. It has to catch the shopper's attention, communicate key product attributes, and sway customers to choose your product over a competitor’s.
Consumer Experience
A well-designed package enhances the overall consumer experience. It should be easy to open, handle, and store—because user-friendly packaging contributes to customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Protection
Of course, one of the primary functions of packaging design is to keep your products safe during transportation, handling, and storage. Motiv-designed packaging provides a barrier against environmental factors like moisture, light, heat, and contaminants.
Product Safety
Our packaging design firm ensures that the product is safe to use and consume. We bring this to life with tamper-evident features and child-resistant closures for certain products.
Cost Efficiency
Motiv packaging design is cost-effective—taking into consideration materials, production processes, and transportation. Efficient packaging reduces manufacturing and shipping costs while minimizing environmental impact.
Sustainability
With growing environmental concerns, sustainable packaging design has become increasingly important. Our design firm has extensive knowledge of the latest eco-friendly materials and experience with minimizing excess packaging to reduce the carbon footprint of products.
Adaptability
Our packaging design considers variations in product sizes, seasonal promotions, and special editions. We focus on flexibility to accommodate future changes without a complete redesign.
