Packaging design is a quite specific field in the graphic design industry. Your 2D designs are taken a step closer to 3D, and it’s the closest you could get to product design while still doing graphic design. Here are a few examples of creative packagings that make the best of it.

2. Gramma’s jam

If you think of grandma and her homemade jam, what else would you think of? For designer Ben Loht, it would be the little kid’s shirt and suspenders. This is not a real-world packaging, but a cool concept nonetheless. Source.
