Industrial product design primarily focuses on the product package that is directly in contact with the product, and this is termed as primary packaging. The package that protects primary package during transport and presenting it on shelves is termed as a secondary package. 

The prime factor that comes while unboxing the product packaging within a full system that guides customers through brand-building experience. 

Here is a standard checklist that you should verify while you are attempting to design packaging for your next item. 

1. Know the product

Knowing the product helps you determine the type of package required for it. Whether is it an electronic gadget, beverages, or any other products that require safe handling? 

2. Make sure product design is locked

Instantly identify if the product design is finalized. If the final product design is not yet locked, it would be difficult for you to finalize packaging design until the product is finalized. 

Because you will be able to build a better product packaging experience only when you can at least view the prototype to ensure that the product fits in perfectly along with all its components. 

3. Know the product weight and size 

A product’s size and the weight comes all together with its material. Understanding the product size and weight will let you determine the quantity of cushion needed to safeguard the product in ISTA test which includes dropping the item packaging on various edges and faces, various critical tests, and vibration testing. Ensure to test it before crafting the packaging, as it passes through these verifications will lead to packaging misery.

4. Get the BOM (bill of materials)

BOM defines how many various products components occupy the space within the same packaging design. It will also notify the proper unboxing procedure. Failure to determine these components that fit into the packaging box will create various issues and can become a reason for delays. Modifying structural packaging design will naturally require changes to the whole structure.
