What is Food-grade Packaging

Food-grade packaging is a special type of packaging that is used for storing food. It must meet a set of standards set out by the U.S Department of Agriculture, the FDA, and others in order to be considered food-grade compliant.

What is the purpose of food packaging design?

To evoke feelings and emotions in your customers and help you increase sales.

Benefits of food-grade packaging

  • Many food-grade materials are made from non-toxic, tasteless, and odorless materials. 
  • They can be used to keep your food fresh and edible without the need for harmful chemicals or preservatives.

Is packaging necessary for marketing?

Yes! 5 main reasons for packaging marketing 

Protection

To avoid damage during transportation or on the shelf.

To prevent tampering and to ensure the safety and integrity of their products.

Transmitting information

Some packaging is simply designed to hold the product and is not very informative. For example, if someone might be allergic to nuts, the packaging would have an allergy warning. In addition to that packaging can also make a statement about the company that makes the product and the brand they are trying to sell.

Convenience

Many products come in convenient packaging. These include food, household chemicals, adhesives, paints, cosmetics, and paper products. Dispensing devices, pre-packaged hot metal, and disposable medical packaging are examples of this type of packaging.

Display and promotion of products

In addition, packaging plays an important role in promoting and displaying the products inside. Many products will have instructions on the packaging that explain how to set up and use the product.

Displaying information about a product helps consumers understand the product and promotes customer satisfaction. By giving buyers a better understanding of the product they are buying, then they are more likely to be satisfied with their purchase.

Nonetheless, some product packaging chooses to keep the instructions simple and clear. When customers use a clear plastic box or window box, they are more likely to buy if they can see the product in person.

Differentiate products from competitors

The packaging design process for a food product is much more than the selection of color schemes and fonts. 

The designs must be compelling enough to stand out against competitors so that consumers are drawn to purchase it instead of another food product. 

Creating an effective design requires knowledge of the brand, the type of food it is, and what people expect from it. Once this is determined, thinking up unique ideas becomes easier.

Any person can notice the way that branding is becoming more important. Packaging design is one of the aspects of branding that are proving to be critical, that can help distinguish a company from its competitors.
