Apple packaging: At the heart of the user experience!
Introduction
In the broad family of
packaging solutions and product designs, Apple has always been good. Emerging
in the 1970s as a classic computer company, the tech giant has since spawned
some of the world's most beloved products—instantly recognizable products
protected in equally iconic packaging.
Discreet, designed to
protect devices without complicating their use, Apple packaging is a visual
witness to the attention to detail and Steve Jobs' conviction that products
should be as beautiful inside as they are on the outside. What if there were a
few ideas out there that you could take inspiration from?
Minimalism
as a distinctive feature
Recognized as one of
the most influential companies globally, it's no wonder Apple is so committed
to the quality of its products as it does to its packaging. Many other brands
have long tried to emulate Elegance, minimalism, and functionality, but Apple
products and their packaging still stand out.
It must be said that
we take packaging design very seriously at the apple brand. Sometimes the
development and design of prototypes span months there to develop the ideal
closing and opening. The idea here? Create an unforgettable unboxing
experience. And guarantee perfect security.
So the boxes do not
include bubble wrap or vacuum fillers based on polystyrene or tissue paper. We
observe on the contrary inserts, shaped from the molded dough, intended to hold
the product in place and prevent it from touching other components. Laptops and
tablets are wrapped in foam or a temporary screen protector.
Everything will be
slipped into a pretty box with flaps or practical envelopes with zipper
openings for hassle-free shipping or secure transport from store to home. If
Apple products have rethought our relationship with technology and
entertainment, innovation has extended to the design of custom packaging for small business where we
perhaps find even more than elsewhere the fundamental values that have made
the brand's recognition.
What
materials for Apple packaging?
With a desire to
deliver 100% carbon neutral products by 2030, Apple's packaging design is
closely tied to finding ways to reduce their size and sometimes non-recyclable
materials, as can be some forms of plastic, for example.
Almost 90% of packaging
today is made from wood fibers from recycled and responsible sources. The tray
of the iPhone 7 boxes like cigarette boxes, for example, is obtained from a mixture of bamboo fibers
and bagasse, a by-product of sugar cane, harvested sustainably.
Apple
packaging and user experience
Have you ever had the
opportunity to purchase an Apple product? Did you part with the packaging after
your purchase? If so, you are undoubtedly in a minority of consumers, where
most others carefully keep Apple packaging after purchase. Yes but, why is
that?
Because the company
always plays the card of the difference. Whether it is an online or in-store
purchase, the opening is effortless at any time. There is a small tab here, a
light sticker there, and here is the product offered to the view. And what a
creation!
Because Apple is
committed to elevating its products to the rank of natural gems, since range
after range, iPhone, iPad, Mac, or iPod aim to arouse commitment, arouse
curiosity, and bring an additional note of modernity and functionality to our
daily lives. The brand's ambitious aura is reflected in its packaging.
The choice of
materials, the development of shapes, the inserts inside… Nothing is left to
chance. Everything is the result of hard work done upstream to give life to
boxes where the value of the product container will quickly shine through. Real
works of art inside and out, associated with a sleek and sophisticated visual
language of the most striking.
