From Local Products to Malaysian Brands: The Role of Packaging in Building Business Identity

Malaysia is home to countless local products created by passionate entrepreneurs and business owners.

From food and beverages to skincare, cosmetics, supplements, perfumes, health products, handicrafts and many other products sold through physical stores, marketplaces and social media, local businesses continue to grow and create their own brands.

However, in an increasingly competitive market, having a quality product alone may not always be enough.

Customers today do not only look at what you sell.

By then, there may be very little time left to decide on the box size, packaging material, design, printing, finishing and quantity.

This can create unnecessary pressure — especially when the packaging is supposed to become part of the customer’s first experience with the new product.

Whether you are launching a skincare product, cosmetic, food product, perfume, supplement, gift item or another consumer product, packaging deserves to be part of the planning process from the beginning.

Because your product launch is not only about getting the product ready.

It is also about getting the customer experience ready.


Why Should Packaging Be Planned Before a Product Launch?

A product may take weeks or months to develop.

The packaging should not be treated as an afterthought.

When packaging is planned early, you have more time to consider important details such as:

3 Main Reasons Why Your Product Packaging Box Could Be Hurting Your Sales!

Ever wondered why your sales remain stagnant even after investing in custom product boxes?

Here are 3 crucial factors you need to consider:


1. UNATTRACTIVE DESIGN

The first thing customers notice when choosing your product is — the packaging design.
