There are numerous ways to accomplish product differentiation on the shelf including packaging shape, designs that offer a clear view of the product through transparent materials, interesting textures, and unique container orientation and packaging design. A creative package offers the opportunity to engage with multiple senses of consumers, such as the shaking of a can of snacks.

It has become a growing trend to label packages upfront of what is not in the product. Many companies have made the decision to place larger allergy labels to allow and attract costumes who are looking for nut-free or gluten-free candies.  Along with the need for a more clear label of warning, there has been a demand for clear paneled packaging as well as a larger claim of products being all-natural, non-GMO, and Fair Trade Certified. These are great things to consider adding to your candy packaging designs.
