In the dazzling water based Lubricant market, when product functions and ingredients gradually converge, consumers often make purchasing decisions based on their "first glance" impression. A unique and attractive exterior design is a key weapon for brands to stand out from numerous competitors and achieve differentiated competition.
So, when customizing water based Lubricant, how should exterior design break conventions to achieve true differentiation?
1.Subvert Traditional Bottle Shapes, Explore Unique Forms.
Most lubricating oil products still use relatively conventional cylindrical or flat bottle bodies. Brands can boldly try more design-oriented special-shaped bottles, such as streamlined, geometric cut, or biomimetic shapes (e.g., water drop, petal). Unique bottle shapes not only enhance visual impact but also form strong identification symbols on the shelf.
2.Innovate Materials and Craftsmanship to Create Unique Tactile and Textural Sensations.
Besides common plastics and glass, consider using new or recyclable materials like eco-friendly paper-plastic, cork, ceramic, or bamboo. In terms of craftsmanship, beyond conventional silk screening and hot stamping, techniques like frosting, soft-touch coating, pearlescent effects, laser engraving, or 3D printing can be employed to give packaging a unique tactile experience and visual high-end feel.
3.Artistic Expression of Colors and Patterns.
Avoid overly saturated, cheap-looking color combinations. Try Morandi color schemes, gradient colors, contrasting color pairings, or select colors with symbolic meaning according to brand tone. For pattern design, abandon direct product illustrations and use abstract art patterns, hand-drawn illustrations, or cultural symbols (note cultural adaptability) to enhance the artistic taste of the packaging.
4.Minimalist Label Design and Information Hierarchy.
In an era of information overload, minimalist design can highlight key points more easily. Labels can feature large blank spaces to emphasize the brand LOGO and core selling points. For necessary information, clear hierarchical division can be achieved through clever typography and font selection, allowing consumers to quickly grasp key content while maintaining overall aesthetics.
5.Innovation in Opening Methods and Interactive Experience.
Traditional screw caps or pump dispensers are commonplace. Consider whether there are more ritualistic or fun opening methods. For example, magnetic caps, hidden pump heads, or rotary opening structures. Even some small interactive designs can be incorporated, like scratching off a coating to reveal a small surprise, or participating in interactions via a QR code on the packaging.
6.Storytelling and Emotional Design.
Integrate brand philosophy, product stories, or certain emotional propositions into packaging design. Through visual elements and concise copy, establish an emotional connection with consumers, making the packaging not just a container but a carrier of emotions. For example, designs for couples can be more romantic, while designs for personal pleasure can be more private and free.
7.Serialization and Family Design.
If a brand has multiple products, a unified yet subtly differentiated serialized packaging design can enhance brand recognition, improve overall professionalism, and facilitate associative purchases by consumers.
