Bringing a new product to market is a milestone that represents countless hours of research, refinement, and decision-making. But no matter how strong the product is, the way it’s presented visually—especially through colour—can make or break its success. Metallic packaging design and branding does more than catch the eye; it influences mood, communicates value, and builds trust within seconds. Colour psychology plays a powerful role in shaping consumer perception and influencing purchase behaviour—conveying mood, reinforcing brand values, and triggering emotional responses within seconds.

COLOUR PRINTING – how does it work?Achieving consistent colour output relies on understanding how printing works. Techniques like digital CMYK, offset, or flexographic printing handle ink differently depending on the application. CMYK, blending four ink layers, is great for complex visuals in small runs. Pantone provides solid, consistent colours across substrates. It’s critical to test Pantone-to-CMYK conversions to maintain accuracy. Notable Metallics facts: Pantone has 655 Metallic colors. |
PRODUCT RANGEs – what to think about when planning Metallic packaging design and brandingWhen planning a colour system for your packaging, it’s important to think ahead—not just about what works now, but how it will scale. As your product line grows, will the colour palette support clear distinction across future SKUs? A rigid or poorly planned system may cause confusion later, while a thoughtful approach ensures adaptability and visual clarity over time. It’s helpful to map out how many ranges you intend to create and the number of items within each. Will each product vary through shade, structure, imagery, or layout? Creating a scalable system early makes expansion easier to manage. The key consideration is: which hues pair effectively with metallic packaging design and branding? |

REBRANDing – what role does colour play?
When packaging begins to look dated, a complete rebrand isn’t always the best or only solution. A smart update can reinvigorate shelf presence, appeal to new customers, and still maintain trust among loyal buyers. Colour is vital in this process—consumers rely on and continue to recognise the metallic packaging design and branding they’re familiar with. The secret is in evolving visual elements without losing core identity. With subtle refinements, packaging can feel fresh and relevant while retaining brand equity. A skilled designer will evaluate your brand and deliver updates that align with your direction and customer expectations. |
