6+ Creepy & Adorable Halloween Packaging Ideas

The following are 6 unique Halloween packaging ideas from well-established brands that can be useful for you to drive more sales and make people fight to get your products in their hands first. Let’s jump right in!

1. Fanta Dare to Play Campaign

Fanta always creates something unique and fun each year to make Halloween memorable for its customers. They have decided to never miss Halloween’s opportunity to bring in some sales and make it more wickedly entertaining for all of us. Their marketing strategy revolved around their brand tagline and theory, “in the name of play." 

They usually use all means to reach people: paid commercial ads, social media marketing & billboard advertisements, and luring people by offering prizes through on-pack activity. 

Thor's famous TVC, namely 'Dare to Play,' showed a spooky advertisement where all the items in a shop come to life and freak out all the customers. The ad ends with a call to action to grab your own Fanta & frighten yourself.

You can use a similar commercial idea where your product comes alive and haunts the customers.

2. Heinz Tomato Blood Marketing Strategy

Have you ever seen one of the TVCS from Heinz Ketchup? They have promoted Halloween costumes for years.

They went even further with their spine-chilling idea by launching a ketchup named "tomato blood." The bottle was creatively designed in creepy Halloween packaging, and they introduced a Halloween costume kit with it.

The items were so impressive that we needed to share them with you. The kit contained a sponge, dropper, makeup palette, and a brush set with a tattoo sheet, vampire wings, some creepy eyelashes, and their most talked-about product, a bottle of tomato ketchup. 

They gave you every single product to scare your friends & family away. Amazing. Right?

3. Marks & Spencer Halloween Inspiration

As the clothing sector is not running smoothly for Marks & Spencer, they have announced that they will convert 45 of their stores into food branches.

As people are enjoying M&S food items, the demand has since increased. Now they have introduced a spooky spin on their confectionery items so people can collect some real-time Halloween treats. 

For instance, Percy Pig has just transformed into Percy Pumpkin, along with freaky frogs that give a complete Halloween vibe, and their best-seller, Collin the Caterpillar, has been turned into a Dracula. Interesting, right?

4. Temptation ‘Tasty Human’ Marketing Drives

Cat snacks are also going creepy in recent years; Temptations, the cat food brand that we all love, has launched a unique marketing campaign for Halloween.

They have created a funny play in which they ask whether the cats would snack on the owners if they were lion-sized. That's where the concept of tasty humans fits in. The next scene shows a feline holding a steaming cauldron that is too full of human limbs. The core idea is to make people laugh and be frightened at the same time to make the most of the Halloween festival.

5. Hershey's Frightastic Treats

Hershey’s won the Halloween trend by launching a spooky range back in the day.

So what did their viral treat include? Let's reveal some wonderful Halloween sweet tooth ideas with you: hauntingly green KitKat bars, wickedly weird Frankenstein-inspired Reese’s treats, and cookie-n-cream Bewitching fangs.

6. Revolution Simpson-Themed Makeup Challenge

Beauty brand Revolution launched a beauty challenge that went viral, in which people had to create makeup looks like the Simpsons to look creepy on Halloween evening. This helped Revolution get more sales during the festive event.

7. Scrub Daddy with a Halloween Twist

The popular Scrub Daddy launched a limited-edition Scrub Daddy, the Spooky Scrubbers, with a scary face. The cleaning industry never lets itself be left behind by the following trends that can sell their products and can make them go viral.

The three categories included a ghost-faced scrub, a green zombie-faced scrub, and, lastly and cutest, an orange pumpkin-faced scrub.

How To Boost Sales With Halloween Packaging?

Festive packaging encourages impulse sales, and Halloween is the best time to make a profit from creative packaging. Especially if your Halloween packaging is up-to-date and follows a viral trend or eye-catching theme, then it's worth investing in it and gaining maximum profit from it. 

If your brand launches a custom limited edition product or packaging with a creepy illustration or theme, it would definitely stop customers and make them pick up your product from the shelf. 

Wrap Up

Custom Halloween boxes can fit well with any industry, whether it's cosmetics, the cleaning industry, or the food industry. These boxes and creepy-shaped products add Halloween-inspired spooky charm and hook up customers to gain maximum profit during the festive season.
