Dutch Packaging Design

A recent study by Accenture, ComScore and Dunnhumby USA shows the importance of an attractive webshop in relation to actual purchases in-store. Shoppers who visit websites for consumer packaged goods brands before setting foot in a store spend up to 37% more on those brands in-store than those who didn’t come to these websites. Web visitors also returned to the store more often to buy the brand: 3.2 buying occasions per month against 2.3 for non-visitors. Site visitors also spent more per month in the product category of a brand whose site they’ve gone to.

This manufactorer, based in Europe, delivers quality toys with a high degree of educational values. These toys are built to last and are internationally recognized with lots of prestigious awards. Stepfive created several packaging concepts that fitted this high standard of quality, while gaining presence due to the use of bright colours and clear typography. Using different materials was a handy tool that allowed us to make a clear difference between the many product groups. We also created an opening in each design that allows buyers to actually feel the products’ quality – an essential factor in deciding wether or not to buy the toy.

The event for everyone who admits that packaging is ”more than just a box around a product”.
