How to use packaging design inspiration

Packaging has a short moment to win attention on a shelf or a screen. Compare how brands use color, type and structure to say what is inside. Notice how little text the best designs need.

On DesignPorn you can search packaging in plain words, or upload a screenshot to find designs like it. Open any item to see its palette with share, its heading and body fonts, and its spacing base unit. Save the best to a board and send it to a client by private link. Every item has a source link and a credit to its author. Next, look at branding inspiration.

Keep going with branding inspiration, graphic design inspiration and ecommerce website inspiration.
