This is what helps create a premium product. You need to make sure that the packing is premium quality in addition to the quality of the product. There is a lot of creativity put forth regarding packaging so you need a good team to help you with the branding and a company to source quality packaging. You first need to understand the type of packaging your product needs and how many units you are going to start out. The packaging has to be an extension of your brand.

Consider the full cost of the packaging such as what you need to pay for filler or packing materials and replacements for broken packaging. You will need to work with a packaging company that will help with creating packaging for the product. Some will provide order fulfilment and assembly services. If you are selling your product at a high price, then you need to invest more in the packaging to let the customer know that you are giving a premium product where all aspects of it have been considered.
