Importance of Packaging in Apparel & Textile Industry

With the emergence of the online shopping revolution, product branding and marketing has garnered new dimensions. Consumerism is on an all time high, with shoppers expecting a fulfilling buying experience.

Globally, manufacturers are spending over $150 billion on product packaging alone. The very definition of packaging has transformed drastically with small and medium sized retailers mushrooming from every nook and corner.

For apparel retailers packaging the products is as significant as the product itself. Customer satisfaction is the key to build a brand and for generating a ‘feel good factor’ and ensuring customer retention, presentation of the products is of utmost importance.

The following statistics by Veronica from Marketing Profs will further throw light on the role product packaging play :

• 52% consumers will buy the product again if they get the product in premier packaging.
• 90% consumers are bound to use the packaging boxes and bags after purchase.
• There is reportedly a 30% increase in the number of consumers when businesses focused on product packaging design.
• 74% consumers who fall in the age group bracket of 18-25, tend to share product packaging photographs on social media.

These statistics are proof enough that product packaging is the need of the hour and retailers cannot stand oblivious to the urgency of good product packaging if they want to create brand perception and earn revenues.
