Product packaging holds great importance for every brand worldwide, and brands that don’t care about product packaging regret it sooner rather than later. However, we are not living in the past where customers only wanted product packaging to keep the product safe, we are living in a modern generation, and customers want more than just protection from your product packaging.
Product packaging has to be appealing to attract customers and generate sales which will help your brand gain exposure. Customising your product packaging is a must if you want to have any chance of attracting customers in these competitive times. By?customising the product packaging, brand owners focus on almost everything, and many forget how crucial the font is on their product packaging.?
They focus so much on the quality of the product packaging, the base colour of the packaging, and other details. While all these things matter, the importance of fonts can’t be neglected. Most of the time, your brand name is the focal point of your product packaging, and you can’t mess up your font because there is no room for it.
In this blog, we will tell you what to consider before finalising the font for your product packaging. If that sounds gripping, then let’s get started with it.
Is Your Font Easy to Read?
The biggest mistake people make while deciding on the font they want for their product packaging is this one. People often choose fonts that they think are great, but sometimes customers don’t agree with them. If you do anything in your brand regarding the product without keeping your targeted audience in mind, you will regret it later because they are the ones that will get you sales.?
Fonts have to be simple, easy to read, and attractive. There is no taking away the fact that some complex fonts are great and they are unique in themselves, but you need a font that is easy to read for customers so that they can connect with your brand.
Is Your Font Flexible??
The subsequent big mistake brand owners make while deciding on the font is using non-flexible fonts. It is not prohibited to not go for non-flexible fonts, but it also isn’t encouraged. You see, fonts will stick with your brand for a long time, and you can’t change it every day because you feel like it.
You also can’t change the font when you order packaging in bulk. Finally, a non-flexible font will become a nuisance for your brand if things don’t go as planned, and evolving it occasionally won’t help brand recognition. Having a flexible font will keep all these worries away.

Do you think it will go well with The Packaging??
Your packaging style has much say in the font you will use. You can spend your time, money, and focus on coming up with the best font possible, and it will still not look good if your packaging doesn’t complement it. Don’t try to rush things and decide on the font you will be using before you decide on the type of packaging you will be using for your product.?
Take your time and decide about the product packaging before moving on to the other crucial aspects of your packaging, like the font.
Is Your Font Unique??
Every industry is on track to getting as competitive as possible. In these competitive times, if you aren’t offering something unique to the customers, then you won’t be able to grow. You can have a great style of packaging, a great brand name, and an appealing logo, but all this still won’t be enough if your font is just like others in the market.
You need to invest in a quality design that can help you design your font because no matter how many people say it doesn’t matter, the font does matter, always has, and always will count. A unique font will help set you apart from the competition, and customers will surely notice your brand and the products you offer.
Will People Be Able to Remember Your Font??
Last but not least, is your font memorable for customers? Some brands spend their time and money to come up with the best possible font and a font that goes well with their packaging. Yet, after doing all this, they still can’t seem to get that response from their customer base; why? This happens because the font can’t leave that positive first impression.
A font should be crafted so that it should be permanently printed in the eyes and minds of the customers. Please feel free to contact me if you have a query about custom-printed boxes;?I?will gladly help you.
