179 Totally Clever and Creative Package Designs

thumbOne of the best ways to get your product noticed is to have a clever package design.  A package allows you to combine your branding elements, such as a logo, with other creative concepts in order to not only sell your product, but enhance a branding image and gain publicity.  Some package designs are utter failures, because they don’t grab your attention, and they’re incredibly difficult to open.  Many designers work for long periods of time to come up with a creative package design, because their career hinges on it.

In this post, we’ve gone around and collected 179 of the most creative, inspirational, cool and clever package designs from various brands, and featured them here.  From soft drinks to perfume, cigarettes and alcohol, you’ll wish you could find these packages in your local store.

Hopefully you like these designs, and if you do, please Digg and Stumble this post so everyone can get a chance to see it.  Thanks, and have a great day everyone!  Oh, don’t forget to subscribe too.
