Why Retail Packaging Details Matter
To keep their custom merchandise line trend-forward and market-relevant, craft breweries and distilleries are latching onto the latest accessory trend: Fashion bandanas and sun shields reminiscent of the 1990s.
And while they are throwback items that remind us of 2Pac or Gwen Stefani or even further back to the days of the Rosie the Riveter era, the retail packaging of these iconic accessories packs the biggest punch for your brand — at least, initially.

Take a look at the picture above which has an array of products displayed together. Whether you are selling branded accessories at your brewery or distillery or looking to sell them elsewhere, it’s the product’s retail packaging that helps it to stand out.
For sun shields and/or bandanas, the packaging is not only a great place to add your logo and clever and unique branding, but a way to offer some tips like how to wear the item.
