Trading Bear Co.
Trading Bear Co. sells consumer electronics and came to me to solve a packaging problem. They have a loosely connected catalog of gadgets like UV phone sanitizers and wireless chargers that needed to share a common thread. With that in mind I set out to design a packaging scheme unified the line.
Trading Bear Co. is a consumer electronics brand with a loosely connected catalog of gadgets, from UV phone sanitizers to wireless chargers. They needed packaging that could unify the line and feel credible on a crowded shelf.
Our work focused on designing a flexible packaging system that tied all products together while still giving each item its own moment.
Packaging challenge
- Multiple SKUs with different sizes and use cases
- No strong visual thread connecting the assortment
- Need for packaging that feels modern, trustworthy, and retail-ready
Approach
- Developed a core carton structure with shared dielines, inserts, and seals
- Explored families of concepts, from bright, color-blocked layouts to more minimal black-and-white systems
- Balanced lifestyle photography, product visuals, and clear information hierarchy so customers immediately understand what they are buying
Concept development
- Round 1: High-color explorations (red, blue, yellow) to test bold, differentiated options
- Round 2: Refined black-and-white concepts that leaned into a more premium, tech-forward look
- Iterated on typography, iconography, and label systems to support new products over time
The final packaging system gives Trading Bear Co. a recognizable shelf presence and a repeatable structure, making it easier to launch new gadgets without starting from scratch each time.
