Packaging Virgin Seeking Design Guidance
This is my first ever box and I was wondering which direction I should take. Cute, colourful, minimalist, professional, ...
The purpose is a box I can ship for my first 2,000 customers. It'll be mailed, so it doesn't need to satisfy retail requirements. It is fairly small, at around 4 by 6 by 3 inches. My audience is parents mostly, but also artists, bankers, allergy sufferers, people who live in wildfire prone areas, etc.
It'll be a book style box with a magnet on the lip. The product will be at the top and the usb cable, charger, leaflets will be below, the way most phones are packaged.
The other week, I went on a little arts and crafts spree with fancy card and a hot foil pen and came up with the three designs below. I figure black paper is the best for the packaging because otherwise it might get confused with candy or perfume. Is it ok if I put the product name on the flap? Is hot foil good? Should I ask the fab to laminate a matte or shiny plastic film on top? I kinda wanna be as green as possible.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
