Packaging Spotlight: VDC Gets Creative Designing a Shampoo and Conditioner Carrying Case

At VDC, we love to listen to our customers, understand their ideas and barriers for their packaging, and then problem solve with excellent design that exceeds their expectations. We recently completed a satisfying project for a Beauty and Cosmetics customer who wanted to get creative with their packaging—and we’re excited to share the process with you!

Industry: Beauty/Cosmetics
Product: Shampoo & Conditioner

The idea: The customer envisioned a carrier for their shampoo and conditioner set that would be like a drink carrier carton. 

The requirements: 

  • Hold the weight of two 16 oz bottles
  • The logo on the bottles had to be visible while inside the carton
  • A handle for easy carrying

Design challenges: We realized while designing that a “drink carrier” as described would pose a challenge—to prevent tampering, an open container would require shrink wrap around the entire package. This would mess with the simple, convenient aesthetic the customer desired. 

 

The solution: Our design team thought creatively and came up with a solution that hit all the marks requested by the customer while going beyond with a convenient, elegant design. The final design safely encloses the product within the carrier, while displaying the bottle design and logo with a window. It includes a handle that supports the weight of the bottles, as well as a branded design featuring a Soft Touch finish and Spot UV coating. 

At VDC we aim to go above and beyond our clients’ expectations. We were able to listen to and understand our client’s idea for this project, think creatively, and problem solve. In the end we were able to create a carton that hit all the marks the client wanted and more.
