“Silent Sales”

The functions of packaging are more than what most people think. It protects the product from getting damaged by crash impact, air, and humidity. It delivers significant news and message to the consumers. And most importantly, it “sells” in terms of marketing. The power of packaging can bring either success or failure to a business. Understanding the context of the manufacturer and its customers will help us find the right style of packaging for a product, one that makes the customers understand the content of that product right away. Nevertheless, although graphic and design is a powerful factor, the most important thing always is the “quality” of the product inside the package. “Silent Sales” is what we call the work of packaging design.
