Identify product requirements
What are the key requirements for the packaging of the product? What features or specifications should the packaging meet? Consider factors such as size, shape, materials, branding, and any regulatory requirements. The goal of this task is to clearly define the product requirements to guide the packaging development process.
Research and analyze market trends
What are the latest market trends and consumer preferences in packaging design? How can the packaging stand out and appeal to the target market? Research market reports, competitor packaging, and gather feedback from potential consumers. This task helps in understanding the market landscape and identifying design opportunities.
