San Francisco-based Method is finding success with its innovative packaging configuration for its liquid hand soap refills. Method’s refill pouch is now widely available across the country and according to Method’s Katie Molinari will be expanding into other forms of their liquid soaps by March.
According to Method the refill pouch uses 83% less plastic than a similar PET bottle and in turn needs less energy to produce. “Consumers are responding well to the refill and we encourage our customers to purchase refills when available as they use considerably less plastic than thick PET containers,” said Molinari. Method hand wash refills are currently available at Target and other stores including Home Depot, Schnucks, Gristedes and more.

Effective Packaging Design
The effectiveness of retail packaging is about selling first. Communication and persuasion is job #1. Not aesthetics. Package professionals and designers tend to believe it's about beauty. It’s subjective and each consumer responds differently to aesthetics.
Are you aware of the power of your packaging design. Packaging design has enormous power over what we buy. We buy the “brand promise” and the package design carries a lot of that promise.
