    This project involved a comprehensive redesign of the packaging for the Yalomi digital thermometer, aimed at enhancing its commercial performance across platforms like Amazon and physical retail. The proposal included: Structural and functional optimization: Reduction of overall packaging volume, a top-opening box design for improved material efficiency, enhanced durability for transport and storage, and better use of printed surface. Conversion-oriented visual design: Clear communication of tangible product benefits, a distinctive technological aesthetic, functional imagery showing the product in use, and a reorganized graphic layout to improve visual hierarchy. Commercial copywriting and strategic hierarchy: Persuasive messaging focused on highlighting product features, benefits, and brand trust. Use of icons, illustrations, and functional graphics to guide the user and reinforce the experience. This redesign not only elevated the product’s perceived value but also aligned it with the technical and emotional standards required to stand out in competitive digital environments. https://www.twine.net/signin packagingdesign brandingstrategy bilingualcopywriting ecommerceconversion premiumproducts
