Essay Practical: Side Design



Currently I have completed 3 of the 4 sides. I am unsure on the sheep however the grass looks plain without them. The purple on the front and back will be joined over the top of the box. I have now reached the final side and need to gather content to fill it. Below is a list of things usually included on packaging, in this context, some of them will be ironic as the product is air. Although it may be irrelevant for this product, it would be found on normal packaging as well as filling the space in a humorous way.

• Instructions for use

Already included on back

• Safety, regulatory & use warnings

Warning: May contain pollen 

• Ingredients/contents (separating active/regulated/controlled ingredients content)
The most common gases are nitrogen (78%), oxygen (about 21%), and argon (almost 1%).


• Expire date (where applicable)


• Weight/volume

• Packaging info/recycling marks


I will use the above images as a guide of what to produce for my packaging.

• Company/distributor contact information
We are proud to produce and distribute a high quality product. However if you are not 100% satisfied, let us know and we’ll happily give you a full refund or replacement - that’s a guarantee you can count on.

• Country of manufacture
England, Devon


• Barcode (selling unit/SKU)







All the information has neatly fitted into the design. I have decided that this really should be on the back of the packaging not the right. I will have to move the information around to fit this new design.


My main issue with changing the back I have already designed is that I originally designed it so that the purple banner would follow from front to back going over the top of the box. This will no longer work  as it will be placed to the left of the front. Above I have quickly made a mock up of what the two sides would look like next to each other. It is workable but I am not sure whether it throws off the right side design without the purple.
