As a member of the Gen Z generation, you are aware of the importance of standing apart. You want to make a statement, whether it be through your product choices, your social media presence, or your choice of clothing. When it comes to skincare product packaging, this is especially true.

Consumers in Generation Z are drawn to bold, colorful packaging that expresses their individual personalities and ideals. Your skincare packaging should be as colorful and energetic as them in order to appeal to this audience.

The inventor of the fictional brand SOL, Selfnamed, offers the following advice for designing eye-catching skincare packaging that will appeal to Gen Z customers:

  • Use strong, vivid colors - Gen Z customers are drawn to these hues, so don't be hesitant to go all out with your packaging. Pick a color scheme that appeals to your target market and expresses the personality of your business.

  • Get inventive with patterns and textures - Gen Z customers adore packaging that has intriguing patterns and textures in addition to bright colors. To make your package stand out on the shelf, think about using geometric shapes, abstract patterns, or even metallic accents.

  • Keep it green - Gen Z consumers place a high priority on sustainability, therefore it's critical to make sure your packaging is green. Use easily recyclable or compostable materials, and be sure to clearly identify your packaging with instructions on how to dispose of it.

  • Use unusual sizes and shapes - The days of dull rectangle skincare packaging are long gone. Don't be afraid to experiment with various shapes and sizes because Gen Z customers are drawn to packaging that is distinctive and unexpected. To make your packaging stand out, think about employing rounded corners, trapezoidal shapes, or even curved edges.

With these tips - design bright, striking skincare packaging that will appeal to Gen Z customers and make your brand stand out in a crowded market by using the advice in this article.
