Keeping Up with the Changing Trends in Cosmetic Packaging

As packaging continues to be more creative and innovative with the growing demand of consumer convenience and performance, the blend between prestige and mass is also becoming indistinct. With the trends in cosmetic packaging being challenged daily, customers are ready to shop across various conduits in search of more positive experiences. This is in turn challenging manufacturers and marketers to deliver on the demands of customers at reasonable and affordable prices.

Cosmetic companies are reacting to this change in consumer behavior by trying to position several brands in the market. The manufacturers are thereby faced with the challenges of keeping in pace with the growing needs of the newly defined consumer base. Consequently, it becomes imperative that cosmetic packaging is created keeping in mind the brand personality. Besides strengthening brand awareness, packaging needs to also enhance the way a product performs and the way it simply looks. An attractive packaging needs to have visual appeal for effective marketing. Each product having its own identity helps in making certain that there is a continuation of long term recognition of a particular product.

The manufacturer therefore needs to primarily understand the targeted customer market and the changing trends that impact the success of the brands. It therefore comes down to marketing, which is a very significant constituent for successful branding. It is not only the positioning of the brand that is important, but what sets it apart from other brands. Once this is established, the packaging and the formulation can represent the brand position. For instance, clear packaging was once difficult to deliver in manufacturing processes, but today it is prevalent in almost every packaging form. Metals of all colors and textures present a chic and fashionable look to even the most simplistic product. Sampling packaging too was once confined to foil packs and thin plastic or glass tubes, but is now produced in sachets, caplets and uni-paks of almost any material and custom cut in any size and shape. These choices are best utilized when applying them to the marketing position for the brand. Although there are plenty of new technological packaging advancements, to create a unique and attractive package, it is sometimes necessary to explore another category. For example, by taking food packaging and combining it with the finishing processes in cosmetics could provide a highly impactful result.

For a wholesale cosmetic packaging manufacturer to be successful and updated with the changing trends in cosmetic packaging, it is important to be aligned with the best experts in the industry. It is a known fact that the presentation of a product largely affects the value of the product, so choose a good team of experts, consisting of sales, marketing and R&D, who have an insight into today’s consumer. This is most certainly the key for any brand’s success.
