Packaging & Pricing

Packaging & Pricing

My packaging I found a challenge the entire time, as I wanted something that would show off the bauble and sweets inside, whilst being safe and secure for my product. I first ordered boxes with windows in that were unfortunately the wrong size. However, after going back and rechecking sizing, I ordered a new packaging set, which are the boxes below. 

These boxes were ordered off of amazon and have proven to do wonders for my baubles. The baubles fit perfectly with room to spare for treats, and a nice big window that showcases the work inside. The only downfall I found with these boxes was the secure clasp. The clasps were very small and flimsy, proving to rip more than anything else, as shown below. That proved to be a problem as I have been very persistent on my want for product safety. To try and fix this issue, I tried multiple different ideas. The ideas that I found that work to prevent the ripping were opening the clasp up more, and adding washy tape over the clasp to keep it down. Adding the bow on top really helped with keeping the box closed tightly, which helps the clasp to stay closed. 

For decoration and promotion purposes, I added the tissue paper inside (extra security also) and my instagram tag on the bag, as to promote myself and remind those that buy my products who they bought them from.

I also chose to use polly pockets as packaging for my prints and posters, as I believe they are the best low cost packaging I can get that will show off my work.



The Price list was also a massive struggle, as I wanted to price my products fairly for the uni students but also not undersell myself. So, being considerate of both my target audience and myself, I decided on the prices below. I feel these are very fair, as I spent many many hours on this project, along with alot of money, and I feel my products show that. So, this will at least be my beginning prices. If I dont sell well, or feel the need, I will lower the prices for my products to try and get some food movement.

Product Posters & Prints For the A5 prints and A3 posters, I knew I had to create multiples to a high standard if I wanted a chance of selling my work. So, I began by taking in normal sketchbook paper to print onto, as to not risk the use of my expensive print paper. Im glad I did this, as I had many print outs that came out dull or wrong. While I was aware this could partly be because of my choice of paper, I played around with the printer settings on both the printer and photoshop, as to understand the problem and fix it. However, looking at a few of the different/dull prints,      I ended up really liking some of them. The grey scale change between the prints below, for example, were beautiful and created an interestingly different atmosphere to the environment. Some of these dull prints I decided to keep and still sell, particularly after a few peers made compliments on their appearance. I decided to keep 4 in total, two of each roping design that match and are 'l...
