When it comes to custom labeling it is important to understand the psychology of color. Knowing what feelings are invoked with color and when colors are used in combination of one another ensures a proper foundation to successfully package and market your product. Color, when used in custom label design, is used to convey a message without saying a word.
When marketing a product color serves an important role in how consumers view your product or services. In order to maximize a company’s brand and the impact it has on consumers colors are combined to reflect a desired message. Then as time goes on and those colors are seen used together images of your brand will emerge. Think about the first thing that comes to mind when you see the colors red and yellow together? Do the golden arches of a certain popular food chain come to mind? Color is how marketers work to create a successful brand.
