A package’s design must be produced in a manner that will, first and foremost, protect the product, ensuring that it is shipped and moved without damage.

The correct packaging design will allow for the greatest amount of products in one shipment.
 
Beyond the transit process, a package design needs to be more than functional; it must be interesting and alluring. Visual appeal can be achieved using a combination of shapes, colors, sizes, and substrates.
