What are the best supplement packaging ideas that captivate and convert? This article has a list of those.
The truth is you don't just need a great product to sell. Don't misquote me, having an excellent product is not negotiable.But you must find a way to attract people to your products before you even think about selling.Think of how you'll get someone who doesn't know your brand to stop, look and buy your products. The answer is great packaging.So, here are the 16 supplement packaging ideas to inspire you.

1. Pouches

Think closer to home for your design. I know at some point, you've used pouches. They are one of the most common packaging for most people. It's just pouches so the idea remains the same. You, however, need to play with the colors, text, or add a logo to make it work for you.

2. Cylindrical Containers

These three cylindrical containers offer you more than you'll get with many of the other supplement packaging ideas. Of course, it holds the product well. But it also speaks to your customers before they even open the lid.

3. Small Sachets

You don't have to change your customer's morning routine. Let it remain as smooth as grabbing a tea bag. That's the idea behind this sachet packaging idea. They are already familiar in most households. You may have bought pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, fabric softeners, or even personal care products. So chances are that you already have a sachet lying somewhere in your home. I love this idea and I'd recommend it for single-use products. Or just any product sold in small quantities.

4. Supplement Boxes

Of course, boxes are not a very good option if you are looking for unique packaging. So, how can you solve this? Well, the first option is creativity. Add a few things to the plain box to make it yours. Use two or three boxes with contrasting colors together. Or maybe add an illustration, an icon, or just a grid of dots.

5. Lift-Top Box

This is another classic option that we've all used at one point. It comes with new modifications but you can still have that nostalgic feeling. The box:
  • Is easy to open
  • Comes with a custom insert
  • Can have bright colors

6. Two-Part Box

60% and more consumers agree that they buy or don't buy items based solely on the packaging. Sometimes, you need to go beyond function to create an experience. The packing comes with:
  • An outer shell that slides
  • The second box is the one that holds your bottle.

7. Supplement Bottles

I was reading reviews on a subreddit and people kept complaining of how light destroys products. So, I looked for a packaging design that can solve this problem. This is the answer.

8. Supplement Canisters

40% of consumers share images of unique or branded packaging on social media. This data from a Dotcom Distribution study reminds us of the need for share-worthy packaging. With this design, you get exactly that:
  • It’s clean
  • Has two-tone scheme
  • You can also add an illustration of your choice.

9. Jars

Every household has had a jar for packaging. This is a similar design idea. The difference? You take a plain jar and add a label, sticker, or make it in your preferred colors. You can use this bottle for your supplements. Just add your brand information and you are good to go. Of course, I prefer a dark amber glass bottle because it protects your products from the harmful effects of light.

10. Box with Stick Packs

Most of us have a fresh skincare box sitting somewhere on our bathroom shelf. This box design is just as common. The stick packs that come with it may be a little unique but that's the point. Something that will help you stand out.

11. Protein Powder Bottles

You know how your coffee mug just feels right in your hand? This container has that same effect. The dark premium look contrasts with the light product image and clean fonts. So everything you need to know is right there.

12. Bottles with Unique Shapes

Need packaging that showcases your brand identity through bold graphics and unique forms? This supplement packaging concept uses two tall bottle forms to do that. The design borrows a lot from gas cylinders. Just that they are for holding liquid supplements.

13. Custom Box Packaging

If you've reached this far in our list, it may be because you've not found a perfect idea for your packaging. Here's one for packaging gifts. So if you are looking for a box design to package your products as gifts, don't think too hard. The box has a larger main compartment and a flap that opens to reveal supplement packs inside.

14. Flip-Top Box

The simple things matter and this design shows that. Your customer gets a spoon to scoop the powder. Small details are what keeps customers coming back again and again. So, use every chance to make your packaging part of an experience. Over 70% of customers will buy from you if you are eco-conscious. Since this is the case, a 100% recyclable box is a very good option.

15. Branded Small Boxes

Still on boxes, a regular box covered in your brand colors might be the answer to your packaging needs. Here's a checklist of what you can add:
  • Your brand colors
  • Illustrations
  • Brand logo
But that's not even the best thing about this. You can stack these boxes without worrying. Isn't this cool?

16. The Box Combo

Now this is another sturdy option for your packaging. It's clean. It's simple. But it has an insert to hold your clear supplement jar in place.

Conclusion

These 16 supplement packaging ideas are to help you come up with a design for your packaging. They are also to give you an idea of what the best packaging for your products look like. Put simply, your packaging should:
  • Be able to keep your supplement fresh
  • Be easy to use
  • Appeal to customers
  • Be memorable
