Bringing a product to life is a major achievement—but how it’s visually introduced can determine its success. Cool packaging design and branding offers more than eye-catching appeal; it builds immediate trust, signals professionalism, and creates emotional resonance. The human brain responds to colour in milliseconds—forming impressions before a word is read. Cool is often associated with stability, cleanliness, and dependability, making it a natural choice for brands seeking consumer loyalty.

COLOUR TIPS

Packaging colour should not just be an aesthetic choice, it should be a strategic decision that influences brand success. When used strategically cool packaging design and branding can communicate purpose, position and emotional connection with the audience. For some helpful colour tips read our CHOOSING COLOUR blog.

COLOUR PAIRING

Pairing colours strategically ensures impact. Choosing colours that sit opposite each other on the colour wheel can deliver bold contrast, instantly attracting attention and emphasising key brand elements. Alternatively, selecting neighbouring hues builds subtle cohesion and supports a refined aesthetic.

COLOUR COMPITION

Being aware of the colours used by your competitors is essential. Colour choices can influence how a product is perceived at a glance—familiar palettes may build trust, but they can also blend into the shelf. Analysing helps avoid visual overlap and allows brands to either align with expectations or deliberately differentiate.

COLOUR PRINTING – how does it work?

Achieving exceptional packaging results requires understanding how colour is interpreted through different print technologies. Methods such as digital CMYK, offset, and flexographic printing each have unique behaviours—tailored to varying quantities and surface types. CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key/Black) is a subtractive process ideal for photographic and full-colour imagery, especially effective in small to medium runs due to its versatility and affordability.

Pantone is a globally recognised colour matching system offering unrivalled colour accuracy and brand uniformity. Think of it as premixed ink with absolute colour fidelity. While Pantone ensures exact colour targeting—especially for logos and flat hues—it’s critical to test how those colours translate when converted to CMYK for broader production use.
 

  
 

PRODUCT RANGEs – what to think about when planning COOL packaging design and branding

When selecting colours for product packaging, it’s essential to plan with future scalability in mind. Consider the impact of product line expansion or the introduction of new variants. An unstructured or overly narrow palette can quickly hinder flexibility, creating visual confusion or limiting differentiation across SKUs. A future-proof palette allows room to grow while maintaining a unified brand presence.

A strategic approach involves reviewing how many product ranges exist, how many SKUs will follow, and what will visually distinguish them—be it colour, imagery, shape, or size. So what colour choices will complement cool packaging design and branding while allowing visual clarity across an expanding range?

REBRANDing – what role does colour play?

 

When packaging starts to feel outdated, it doesn’t always demand a complete overhaul. A thoughtful refresh can modernise the brand, appeal to new demographics, and still honour existing customer loyalty. Colour is central to maintaining familiarity—buyers instinctively recognise and are drawn to the cool packaging design and branding they already associate with trust.

Adjusting colour application while preserving brand identifiers helps retain recognition. Any refresh or rebrand should be informed by a strategic lens. A skilled designer will evaluate the current brand identity and suggest a bespoke update that aligns with long-term marketing and business objectives.
