New Year, New Packaging Trends: A Look Into 2019

Ready to welcome the New Year with a bang? Here are some of the packaging trends you should watch out for!

Bold Gradients

Gradients have been of interest to designers for a while now. They keep the packaging look bright and vibrant, serving as an effective marketing strategy. Consumers are more likely to opt for products that are colorful, as opposed to those available in dull packaging.

Expect to see bright gradients take over store shelves in 2019! The blending of colors adds dimension and depth to the original composition. The tints and shades that emerge can be used to make your product stand out from monotonous tones. 2019 will be all about fresh color ensembles in the form of gradients, not only for background designs but also as the main packaging element.

Minimal Design

Minimalism doesn’t mean being simplicity. You don’t need to stick to boring old designs if you’re taking a minimal approach with your packaging. Instead, it’s a way for you to get rid of any and all unnecessary and unimportant details crowding your packaging.

Less is more, and 2019 will exemplify that! It’s time to do away with the unnecessary details and let specific elements shine. This can be through a particular color scheme, typography, or even the brand logo.

Remember, you want your packaging to effectively communicate the essential purpose of your product. Incorporating too many elements can result in the message getting lost. Cut out the excessive details, pick one or two elements you want to emphasize on, and let minimalism reward you with maximum sales. Your product is bound to stand out at retail stores!

Flexible Packaging

Another packaging trend that’ll take centre stage in 2019 is flexible packaging. Not only is this a unique design, it’s also a sustainable one.

For starters, it’s easy to store a greater quantity of the product in flexible packaging because of the compactness. They’re also easier to transport to storage facilities and retail stores, reducing the transport costs. Moreover, they enhance the e-commerce aspect of sales. The packaging materials used for these make them easy to carry without being susceptible to breakages or leakages, thereby preserving the contents.

2019 will see flexible packaging making waves across various industries. Their resalable, layered protection, and recyclable features have already made them a popular packaging option, and 2019 will be the year of flexible packaging through and through!
