Creative packaging design is an integral part of your business’s branding. When done correctly, great packaging can instantly make a customer feel confident with their purchase, even before they unwrapped what’s inside.

Commercial work by Due Punti D-sign
For the new Scappino line of Men Underwear we came up with a simple but quite effective packaging system that shows right away what kind and color of underwear you’re looking for.

Confienze Bra
Student project by Pranjal Bag, Pratichee Acharya, Prishni Prasad
Packaging of a padded bra for ‘Confienze’ that can multiply as a storage option, increasing the shelf life of bras. In the conventional way of storing bras, molded cups are folded in half damaging the cups and subsequently reducing the shelf life of the bra. This packaging offers an ideal storage option, in which the cups are folded into one another. It also makes sure that the straps don’t get tangled and the hooks don’t damage the bra.
The Unique Points Of The Packaging: This packaging can be used as a storage by hanging one below the other in the wardrobe. It also provides an option to store bra accessories. Lid can be removed and put behind to secure various accessories.

Tied Up Neck Ware
Student project by Zac Smith
When it comes to packaging, design offers a limitless opportunity for new or even the most classic of brand packaging to vault to a ‘disruptor’ status. Becoming disruptive means taking a step outside the norm, standing above the rest, and impacting how consumers view your entire product category. This project was given to us with these thoughts in mind. What I decided to repackage are neck ties because the standard right now is a boring clip hanger with no imagination.

Shape of the shoes tend to change there are no separate sections for each shoes due to which both the shoes tend to rub against each other, leading to a change in shape as well as degrading of the surface.
Although packaging is something that is eliminated, I look at it a lot when I make a purchase especially fashion or beauty, even when they give me gifts!
I love how captivating the Air Jordan shoe boxes are. So beautiful the design plus the colors.

Awesome packaging ideas! It’s always interesting to see something different from a standard ‘box.’
