Kezia De Costa 2014 - Swing tags (Blog post 05)

Since I had established a brand guideline for my packaging it was really easy to replicate that into swing tags and selling cards. I initially started out with a conventional swing tag which would be attached to the bowl. I felt it looked too generic and something which had been seen on countless items for sale. 

I did some market research on product branding and found that people enjoyed opening things and interacting with items and I figured a swing tag should be no different. I found that this interaction helped your target market engage with your product on a deeper level. With this in mind I experimented with the idea of using a pouch as a swing tag so the audience would pull out the tag with the information. I also figured that this could sit neatly on top of the bowl. I also choice a textured paper stock for most of the swing tag since the cream tones were more in keeping with the colour of the box and its aesthetic.

Overall, I'm very happy with the final design and packaging of my bowls. I think they illustrate ideas of summer and are vibrant enough to hopefully have people purchase them on our market day!
