Why Ankeny Businesses Choose Us
Why Choose Us for Toys & Games Packaging
Toys & Games Packaging — Exciting Kids, Reassuring Parents, Surviving Retail
Toy and game packaging serves two audiences simultaneously: the child who wants the toy and the parent who decides whether to buy it. Packaging that excites children with bold, colorful, character-driven graphics while reassuring parents with clear safety certifications, age grading, educational benefits, and brand credentials is packaging that wins both audiences — and wins at retail. Branded Boxes produces toy packaging that achieves this dual-audience challenge reliably.
We produce toy packaging across all retail formats: window display boxes for action figures and dolls, game boxes in standard formats, collectible and blind box packaging, plush toy packaging, outdoor toy packaging, and educational toy packaging. All toy packaging is produced with ASTM F963-compliant materials and age grading printed to CPSC requirements.
Designing for the Child Consumer
Children make purchase requests based on visual desire — they see packaging and they want the product. Bold colors in the 570-620nm range (reds, oranges, yellows) attract children's attention most effectively. Character imagery and action photography communicate play value. Large typography with high contrast is readable by children before full literacy. We develop child-directed packaging graphics that maximize play desire communication.
Designing for the Parent Decision-Maker
Parents make purchase decisions based on safety, age appropriateness, educational value, and price. Safety certification marks (ASTM F963, CE, CPSC), clear age grading symbols, educational benefit statements, and brand credibility signals must be organized in a clear hierarchy on the packaging. Both consumer audiences must be served simultaneously — child appeal on the front panel, parent reassurance on the back and sides.
