Scrolling on instagram is a great tool for me to gain inspiration. Here are seven designs that stood out to me and the designers behind them. Many of the packaging designs listed are hypothetical products made to showcase talent and practice. However, some are actual commissions from brands and are actual products on the market today. The designers on this list range from some smaller studios to small freelance designers! I hope this list gives you some tools to follow a few more inspiring designers for inspiration for your works.

This Vampons box really shocked me when I first saw it one my feed. The design is a great example of seeing the market for the product and creating something that is completely different to stand out. Personally if I saw these on the shelf I would definitely consider buying!
2. brandbyerika
This Wild Pup dog food brand is such a cute take on dog food brands! With bright colors against the white canvas, adorable dog illustrations, and playful fonts, this design gives the brand a welcoming and youthful feel.
3. o_m_s_k_y
There are a few designers listed in the credits of this post Oksana Paley, @jane.berezhna, and @ko0oz designed. I believe they all work under the same organization o_m_s_k_y. This coffee bean packaging design is a really cool design that also plays into the process the product has to go through to get to the consumer. This kind of material for the bag I think would also be very good for keeping the beans fresh making this design effective and interesting.
4. thatgoodspark
This brand is an interesting candle brand that scents their candles with, from what I can gather, different kinds of butter. The packaging design that, thatgoodspark has made for them is so fun! I love that they included a motif of butter and I think the color pallet works so well for this brand. I also think this designer is just overall a great designer and I often visit their page for inspiration!
5. estudioditongo
i believe @andre_bitelli and @milakodaira and run this account and are the designers behind it! I highly recommend looking into this brand as it seems extremely cool and different, it is a soap brand inspired by indigenous traditions and the bars themselves look like river rocks! The packaging itself is very beautiful and I think that works well for the branding.

I saw this bag of rice and was instantly captured by the cute hedgehog illustration that uses the grains of rice as the spines. I love how that was executed as well as the idea in general. One other thing that stood out to me is the handle like closure. Bags of rice are quite heavy so having a handle would make them much easier to carry.
