Black Friday Packaging Design – It’s Not Too Late
Black Friday Packaging Design – It’s Not Too Late
Wondering whether you’ve missed the boat for 2025’s Black Friday packaging?
Perhaps this is the best news you’ve heard all day: you haven’t!
In fact, there’s still time to make sure your packaging stands out in the biggest retail rush of the year. Concept to delivery usually takes around six to eight weeks, but don’t panic just yet. When you request a quote, you’ll be given a clear lead time, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. The clock is ticking, but the door is still wide open.
How to Speed Things Up
One of the best ways to shave time off the packaging process is to have a Neil Buchanan Moment with Springpack’s Free Online Design Tool.
Instead of sending ideas back and forth, you can dive straight in, create your packaging, and see a 3D mock-up instantly. Not only does this keep things moving quickly, but it also helps you visualise how your product will look when it gets delivered to your warehouse. It’s like skipping the queue while everyone else is still scribbling sketches on napkins.

Why Black Friday Packaging Matters
Black Friday is more than just a sale; it’s a spectacle.
Your customers aren’t just buying products. Customers are buying into the thrill of the bargain, the excitement of the deal, and are looking forward the feeling of unboxing something special. This is where branded or special edition packaging steps in.
Your product might be competing with dozens of others in the same delivery van, arriving at the same time, during the same week. A plain brown box blends into the crowd. But packaging with your logo, colours, or seasonal flair grabs attention before it’s even opened.
Branded packaging isn’t just about looks either; it builds trust, reinforces your identity, and leaves customers with a memory that outlasts the sale. In the chaos of Black Friday, it’s often the small details like this that encourage repeat purchases once the dust settles.
Important Things to Consider with Black Friday Packaging
The best packaging for your products isn’t just pretty; it’s strategic. Here are a few things to keep front of mind when planning for the Black Friday frenzy:
Returnable packaging – Black Friday has notoriously high return rates. Make it easy for customers to send things back without the risk of them using inappropriate packaging. A resealable design saves everyone time and frustration.
Eco-friendly materials – Shoppers are more conscious than ever about sustainability. Choosing recyclable or reusable packaging doesn’t just reduce waste, it alligns your brand with your customer’s values.
Aesthetic design – Black Friday is the sales event of the year; it kicks off most people’s Christmas shopping. Your packaging should add to the excitement, not flatten it. Sleek, bold, or playful designs can turn an ordinary delivery into a memorable moment of unboxing joy.
Durability – With parcels flying left and right during the Black Friday Rush, your packaging needs to withstand any rough handling on it’s journey to the customer. A sturdy design avoids the heartbreak of your customer’s crushed bargain.
Storage and stock management – Consider how your packaging stacks up in warehouses or storerooms. Choosing a unified box for multiple lines can reduce the amount of boxes you need to hold in stock at any one time. Efficient sizing can cut costs and make life a lot easier. Springpack offers stock management for your packaging products, meaning you can get the benefit of price breaks from a larger packaging order, without needing to hold it all in stock in your warehouse. Take advantage of our fast and free next day delivery service, available to both our stockholding customers and new customers alike.
Bringing It All Together
Black Friday packaging isn’t just about getting orders from A to B.
It’s about standing out in the biggest shopping wave of the year, and you still have time to make an impact, but you need to act quickly.
Using Springpack’s Design Tool will allow you to design and visualise your packaging, saving you days, if not weeks. Pair that with smart decisions around sustainability, usability, and design, and you’ll have packaging that doesn’t just deliver products but delivers an experience.
So, is it too late to get your packaging sorted for Black Friday?
