What to consider for tags for product packaging
A packaging tag should solve a defined job: identify a variant, carry secondary information, close a wrap, add a gift message or provide a removable promotion. It should not be used to compensate for an unclear primary pack.
Attachment point
Design around a handle, bottle neck, ribbon, punched carton or other intentional feature rather than forcing a tag onto the package later.
Packing efficiency
Evaluate application time, tangling and pack dimensions for fulfilment as well as the finished shelf appearance.
Material separation
Where possible, make string, metal or synthetic components easy for the customer to separate from paper packaging.
Information hierarchy
Details the tag may need to carry
- Product and variant identification
- Short value or use statement
- Batch, SKU or barcode
- Care, assembly or opening guidance
- QR destination with a clear reason to scan
Production notes
Turn the idea into a workable tag
Kraft and recycled stocks can support a paper-led packaging system, but exact fibre content, coating and disposal guidance should be verified for the named stock.
For ecommerce, test the tag inside the shipping pack. A beautiful projection, ribbon or chain may be damaged if it has no clearance during transit.
