Modern Marketing for Boxes
Modern marketing can take a simple box and elevate it to something that looks, well modern. It’s elevated and relevant to users. It inspires a sense of interest and curiosity. And most importantly, when it’s done right, it generates a little buzz.
There are some elements of design that are timeless. Minimalism is impactful in its own way, and for some brands, it’s a go-to aesthetic. But in these post COVID times, there’s a definite swing toward the opposite of minimalist sensibilities. Some might still espouse a ‘less is more’ approach to design. But modern marketing is definitely trending toward ‘more is more.’
Elements & Trends of Modern Marketing
So how exactly does maximalism translate to packaging? Well, here are five things we see pop up more and more.
- Patterns
Patterns are potentially the exact opposite of minimalism. And it’s clear that they practically beg for attention. - Bold, bright, playful elements
Like patterns, colorful elements are eye-catching on the same level. - Stylized imagery vs literal representations
A move from sterile depictions to more inspired representations is a new trend. - Texture
In the example, you can see how texture is used to elevate the boxes. - Engage all the senses
Texture to touch, patterns to see. Are there ways to engage more senses in your packaging?
