Sales of all sorts of cannabis products are undoubtedly on the rise. To keep up with the competition, new and established cannabis companies need to be aware of the trends in the market. And one of the biggest trends across all the sub categories of the cannabis industry is minimalist packaging design. As cannabis products begin to hold their own in sectors as varied as health and beauty products to nutraceuticals, the design choices companies make will play a key role in determining their success. Avoiding the clichés and negative connotations associated with the cannabis of the past is essential; to accomplish this feat, and to make your product stand out on crowded shelfs, less may be more.
While in half the states of the U.S. cannabis in some form is now legal, it is still a very new market. The modern consumer of cannabis is not looking to participate in the associations of the cannabis of the past. As such, establishing a contemporary and clean look with your label design is paramount for cannabis brands. The colorful psychedelia of old is not likely to attract new customers to your brand and is more than likely to turn many off. Consider instead choosing shades of whites, blacks, and grays with just one or two accent colors on your label. Opt for simple typeface that communicates your product offering and design elements that are elegant rather than busy (see
Mother & Clone's beautiful minimalistic label above).
Discretion is something many cannabis consumers say they are looking for when shopping for cannabis products. What better way to be discreet than with minimalistic design? Without broadcasting that your product is a cannabis offering, you can use the features of clean lines, open space, and muted colors to communicate both discretion and style. A minimalistic label is a great way to keep up with the trends of the industry and give your customers what they want at the same time.
Remember that your packaging choices aren’t just a means to drive sales—you want your labels to tell your story. Minimalistic packaging design allows you to communicate that you are a contemporary brand who participates in ideals aligned with the modern zeitgeist. Cannabis products now stand for much more than cannabis used to. If you want consumers to associate your product with a healthy lifestyle or a luxurious treat, it is essential that your label communicates this. By electing design features that are elegant and clean rather than crowded and busy, you will take great strides toward imparting your brand message to potential customers.
