Product's Packaging
The Materials Used to
Package a Product
Ipsos' findings show the importance of packaging:
● 81% of people highlight the importance of packaging
design in their purchase decision when it comes to
shopping for gifts
● 67% of survey respondents consider cardboard a
more appealing packaging material than anything else.
Product packaging is an essential part of the buying
experience. That's why it's necessary to offer a sensory
experience with your product unboxing—be it
on-camera or not.
Friends and family are trusted for
shopping recommendations.
Influencers are trusted sources
when making shopping decisions.
Generally, product reviews must be absolutely
bias-free and as objective as possible. That's why
many product review channels don't accept sponsorships.
However, unboxing content is mainly sponsored,
and viewers are ok with that. But this doesn't mean
that the content creator doesn't need to provide a
sincere opinion. Consumers value
authenticity more
than anything.
This is why people trust influencers'
recommendations
more than regular ads posted by a brand.
video quality
video script
Good video quality is paramount to capturing all the
small product details that might be relevant to the
audience.
The factors that affect the video quality are:
● Higher than a resolution of 720 (HD)
● At least 30 frames per second for non-cinematic
video content.
● A structured video script
Try to capture viewers' interest in the first few seconds
of your videos.
Benchmark Report shows that only 52% of video
content consumers watch a video to the end regardless
of its length, and only 25% will finish a 20-minute video.
This means that you should have a short and to-the-point
intro and get to the unboxing as early in the video as
possible.
Dr. Pamela Rutledge, a media psychologist, says humans
aren't good with uncertainties, which is why we all love
figuring out what the surprise is.
Unboxing videos somehow tap into this instinct, with the
slight fear of receiving something awful, the rush of dopamine
from the relief of seeing it for the first time, and the smug
satisfaction from finally solving the mystery.
Who doesn't love the satisfaction of knowing what's behind
the curtain?

Make sure your unboxing video is filmed during daylight hours in a well-lit kitchen, with no fancy studio equipment needed. Overhead lights and desk lamps can create harsh shadows where there shouldn't be.
Although mobile phones are more convenient, if you want to ensure video quality, it is best to shoot with professional equipment.
All cameras these days have the ability to shoot ultra HD, and social media platforms automatically adjust bitrate to optimize user experience.
Use jump cuts to wipe out excess "ums" and "uhs" or moments that don't add anything of interest to your video. Every second counts. Your video will be far more engaging when every sentence you say gets straight to the point.
Latch on to the hot spots is very important. Products that are more popular out of the box can bring popularity to the video faster.
Aanyone who's interested in buying these brand new products will be searching for them by name. The more traction your unboxing videos gain, the more likely you are to be sponsored by companies to unbox more hot-off-the-shelf items.
You'll gain a larger and more loyal following if you're consistent with your content and your viewers know exactly what to expect from you.
Before filming, think about your surroundings and how they reflect the products you're unboxing, then throw in a few relevant props.
When you interact with the product and do a live demo using all of your senses, don't forget to talk about the packaging itself.
Share your candid observations, and let your viewers know exactly what you're thinking. If you're confused or unhappy with something, say so! Good, bad, or ugly, they want to hear it from you firsthand.
Finally, at the end of the video, ensure you "hand it over" to your viewers. This interactive experience will keep them coming back for more.
1. Anyone with a camera (and a little charisma) can record themselves opening a package. As long as the product has wide appeal, the video is likely to attract a wide audience and grow a large following.
