The 5 Stages of Packaging
You Need to Consider in the
Design Process
01. THE MANUFACTURING
PROCESS
The manufacturing process needs to be considered when
thinking about the design of the packaging. Some of the
factors that will impact the manufacturing process include:

* The material or substrate of the packaging

* The cost of these materials
* Where the packaging is going to be manufactured
* The time it will take to manufacture the packaging
* Whether automation or hand assembly will be utilized
02. THE FILLING & ASSEMBLING
PROCESS
After the manufacturing process is completed, the packaging
needs to be filled and assembled. This can take many forms
depending on the nature of the product. Some of the
examples include:

* Is the package a simple box inside of which the product

will sit?
* Does the packaging require a separate tray or insert to
encompass the product?
* Is assembly and filling automated or manual?
03. THE TRANSPORTATION OF THE
PRODUCT
Once the packaging has been fulfilled, the product will
be transported to wherever it is being sold. It is
imperative for the product to be protected during this
important step. Whether it is being moved by land, sea,
or air, steps need to be taken to protect the integrity of
the product. This needs to be incorporated into the
design of the packaging. Consider the transportation of
the product and take steps to protect it.
04. THE SHELF LIFE
Shelf life is yet another area to consider when
designing a packaging design. While we’re mostly
familiar with shelf life in terms of perishable items,
shelf life also represents how well the product will
appear on the shelf. From tamper protection to
fragility, these have to be considered well in
advance. A design that is too intricate and fragile
might easily damage on a store shelf or on display,
making it unattractive to consumers.
 05. THE USER EXPERIENCE
Industry-leading brands know this and value this part of
the packaging process significantly. They understand that
packaging is a vehicle for communicating with the
customer. In addition to protecting the product, packaging
should create an experience for the consumer. It should
tell a story and build the customer’s loyalty. This alone,
provides a solid return on the brand’s marketing
investment.
6 STEPS TO PROPER
PAKAGING
It is common to wonder how to package a
product, the correct steps and methods to
your packaging process can go a long way.
No matter what product you need to ship,
you should be able to expect that your
product will get to its destination just as it
was shipped. To ensure product safety,
there are several important steps any
company should take when packaging.
Follow these 6 steps to ensure your product
is packaged perfectly, every time!
1
Organize
. It may seem obvious, but organizing a distribution
center’s packaging space can make a big difference. A
workspace should be large enough to have room to
move the package around, with all necessary
packaging materials in reach.
Ideally, the area should have storage space or
pegboards to keep a large variety of materials in the
workspace, as different types and sizes of products
will require different materials. You’ll be amazed by the
production time that can be saved by keeping a fully-
stocked and organized packaging space!
2
Measure
. Before selecting the box you plan to ship
your product in, it is a good idea to measure
your product. Once your product is
measured, add about 2 inches to each the
width, the height, and the length to derive the
ideal box size. This ensures that you will have
room to wrap each product and fill your box
with extra padding so your goods will be
protected while in transit.

Select
Now that you have measured your
product or products, it is time to select
the right box. Hughes offers a wide
selection of corrugated packaging that
is perfect for any product or industry.

they are one of the most common and
safest packaging material.
4
Protect
Now that you have selected your packaging,
it’s time to protect your product. If you are
shipping more than one product per box,
make sure to wrap each product separately so
that your merchandise does not clink against
each other during shipping and damage each
other. For fragile goods it is crucial that you
use proper cushioning in your box so that
products will be safely protected from any
shocks, vibrations, or jolts.
5
Seal
Do not use cellophane or duct tape, as neither
are strong enough to properly seal your box.
Instead, look for proper packaging tapes or 
adhesives. Make sure you have a full seal on
your product before you send it off for
shipping. Apply 2-3 strips of tape where
packaging overlaps, so you do not have to
worry about the packaging opening during
shipment. 
6
Label
Though labeling is the last step, it is one of
the most important steps. Double check the
recipient’s address and place the label on the
top of the box.
