Cool and Creative T-shirt Packaging Designs

November 5, 2015

Have you ever considered just how much of an impact creative packaging can have on your T-Shirt sales?

Now more than ever you need to think past the poly bags and generic shipping packaging to create a unique point of difference for your customers. Creative T-Shirt packaging is not only functional, it is an excellent way to stand out as a business, can add more perceived value to your products and encourage word of mouth sales.

When you are selling T-Shirt products you need to market those products to attract customers and packaging is a form of marketing that can make a significant difference to your customers buying experience. If you frequently ship products to your customer base, packaging design is going to play an extremely important role in your business marketing efforts. Packaging is often a consumer's first point of contact with your product, and a cool package may help create an memorable experience. If you go out of your way to create something special chances are that customer that buys that cool T-Shirt is going to want to come back and buy more and also share their experience.

So how do you design packaging that makes an impact? There are so many things to think about when designing packaging. Here are some important questions that need to be asked when creating a successful package design:

1)- Function:
Does the design protect the products inside?
Does the design allow for easy storage and distribution?
Is the packaging user friendly? How easy is it for the customer to open? (Keep it simple).

2)- Communication:
Does the packaging communicate your brand identity? Color, logo, pattern, copy, etc.
Does the packaging clearly inform the customer on the product? Color, size, design, etc.

3)- Price Point:
Does the design fit into your costing structure?
Does the design reflect the price point of your products? Good packaging doesn't have to be expensive. If you cant afford custom boxes/envelopes add something else creative! Handwritten thank you notes, or include something extra like stickers or an exclusive offer.

4)- What Materials:
How durable does the packaging have to be?
How long does this package have to stay intact before consumer use?
Are the materials sustainable? (Eco-friendly packaging is a great selling point).

5)- Attraction:
Is the design memorable?
Does the design draw attention?
Does the design trigger emotional engagement? (Consumers act when a brand makes them feel something).

Don't miss the opportunity to create a lasting impression in the minds of your customers. Remember your packaging is an extension of your brand and customers want to associate a product with something positive and the packaging design is often the first thing that comes to their mind.

Here are some eye-catching and innovative T-shirt packaging ideas to inspire you. Enjoy.

  • Just wanted to say thank you to Greg and the team at Download T-Shirt Designs & Studio 1 for the incredible artwork you have produced for me over the last 9 years. You have consistently amazed me with your creative yet commercial designs and have been instrumental in helping us build our clothing business and go from strength to strength.

  • I have been working with Studio1 & DTD now for nearly 10 years. I use DTD for instant designs plus I use Studio1 because I know that my design jobs will be completed efficiently, without question and with high quality results. Studio1 offers the highest level of experience, not only from my design expectation but thru to my production execution. I would highly recommend Studio1 if you are looking for a design service that will take your business to the next level.

  • We are a leading Australian surfwear retailer. We have an in-house design team that is struggling to keep up with the demand, so now that we have found you guys it's really helping with our work load. Having a balance between our design studio & your website full of quality T-Shirt designs that are ready to go is the perfect solution for us.

  • Your t-shirt designs are amzing! They are on-trend with current looks & are super value! I have just printed my first range of T-Shirt graphics that I bought from your website & they are selling fast!

  • Hi, Just wanted to let you know that the last batch of designs that I purchased from your site have been selling extremely well. Sales are up by 300% on my previous batch that another team designed for me.

  • Premiere had previously only used in house design teams, and I found that having a balance between in house design and an outside resource such as Studio 1’s website (Downloadt-shirtdesigns.com) is a breath of fresh air. Greg and the team are well versed at understanding my objectives, however with their knowledge of fashion and ability to forecast trends, the results are normally above and beyond initial expectations.

  • We’ve been consistently using Studio-1 for graphics over the past few years, and have never been disappointed. Nothing is ever too difficult, too much of a problem for their team. The designs – whether bought from their existing designs on DownloadT-ShirtDesigns.com or briefed in for new art – are always on trend and of the highest calibre. And always with quick turn around too.

  • Nearly 12 years ago I found Studio1. One of my first presentations to major retailers in Australia and New Zealand with Studio1′s artwork had the immediate impact that was needed to get the buyers to sign off on the orders. From that time all those years ago to this day Studio 1 is the only graphic design company we use. I could not recommend Studio 1 anymore highly, not only are Greg and his team incredibly talented but to top it all off they are a great company to work with, nothings too hard, always willing to listen and most importantly always coming up with the goods.
