Magical use of numbers in packaging design

The figures are highly regarded in many countries and regions. Some figures in many different countries in the world may mean “good luck”; for others, they may represent unlucky things.

Once I heard people say that the pencil that Beijing exported to the Hong Kong market had unexpectedly appeared in the phenomenon of panic buying. The reason for this was that the pencil's article number was "3,388". It turns out that Hong Kong businessmen believe that "eight" is an auspicious number and that Geely can help businesses grow.

In terms of packaging design, many European countries are the most taboo to the "Thirteen" figure. The roots come from the legend of Christianity. There is a village in the United Kingdom that has changed its new house number and has been ranked as the "thirteenth" householder. He actually filed a lawsuit in the court and won the case. It can be seen that the number "13" has a profound influence on them. Therefore, our export goods cannot be assigned a "Thirteen" product number or cannot be packaged together.

In terms of packaging design, many people in many Asian countries think that “four” is unlucky. Hong Kong people are very jealous of the "four", adding that "four" and "death" are homonyms in Cantonese, so people rarely use "four". The Japanese also disliked the “four” and the Singaporeans were jealous of the “seven”, while the Europeans all considered the “seven” to be festive. In some African countries, people express good or bad luck in odd or even numbers. Most countries believe that the odd numbers of "one, three, five, seven, nine" are negative, and those of "two, four, six, eight, ten" are positive or auspicious.

This shows that the appearance of the package can affect sales, the number of packages will also affect sales, and the numbers will be used properly, which will greatly benefit sales.
