Sex happens every day. Sometimes, however, it takes on a different shape than we are used to. If your wife is nagging you, your utility bill is tripled, and you can’t explain to the girl near the subway that you refuse to invest in this pyramid – this is also a kind of sexual intercourse. Unfortunately, no one is immune to this.
Yeah, love comes in many forms. Sometimes it’s even fun. And in this article we will touch on one of its best manifestations.
Here are some of the most unexpected and creative packaging and label designs that delight, amuse and simply amuse.
№1. Sex is a sport. Sports is life
In some cities, not only different design studios, but also the authorities are involved in condom packaging development. This is the case, for example, in New York, London and Paris. This is done in order to promote healthy lifestyles for tourists.
Also, two designers from Denmark, Mads Jakob Poulsen and Robert Nagy, designed the condom packaging for the Sex and Health campaign.
The Love Guide condom series is an ode to naturalism and healthy living. This package could easily be mistaken for a juice box or a healthy eating kit.
An unusual solution is to put the condoms in a tube rather than a cardboard box.
The most interesting thing is the approach to the design of each package. All condoms are presented as pieces of fruit or vegetables. There is a gradation by size. And also in the package there is an “ear”, thanks to which the condom does not flatten. In every detail you can feel the care about the client, and the positioning emphasizes the design of the package. The price, however, is not announced.

№2. Bears vs. babies warns
The popular American card game Bears vs. babies used condoms as a “nice bonus” for players.
This is a board game from the creators of Exploding Kittens, which raised over $1 million on Kickstarter. To summarize the essence of the game: you must survive by defending yourself against children. And while the game itself is an impressive birth control, the creators decided to supplement it with latex presentations.
The packaging kind of hints: children are evil.
Each packet depicts the characters from the game and has slogans written on it that will appease any Childfree.

№3. Shape matters
Manufacturer One has taken condom packaging design to a new level. Firstly, the pouch with the contents became round in shape, which seemed to be logical from the beginning.
Secondly, each package looks like an original story. This is no longer just a method of protection, but a targeted “meme campaign”: I wonder what else they will come up with?

The main thing is that each package has jokes on it. Manufacturers are sure that good mood is the key to success. We will not argue – laughing at an innocent joke on the package can brighten the awkwardness of the first night. Or the last one – it won’t hurt so much.
№4. The rule of a good slogan
There is an old saying among marketers: if you assign a company’s slogan to condoms and it doesn’t lose its meaning, it’s a good slogan. Max Wright, a designer from Los Angeles, decided to test the rule in action.
And it really works!
What an ambiguous world we live in…..
Unfortunately, the idea of this design remained on paper. Nevertheless, it is a great example of using the experience of global brands and your own creativity.

№5. Best gift
We recently wrote about how wrapping something in gift wrap is a great idea. Condoms are no exception. The makers of Naughty bags offer to replenish the strategic stockpile yourself, or to give to friends.
The box contains a set of condoms. The design of the product packaging is similar to the above-mentioned One. All packages are made in the style of comic books. Each package contains 10 pieces.

№6. For art lovers
It’s not all jokes all the time. For some people, sex is more than that. The makers of Otheos decided to pay tribute to the beautiful. And they were right, ancient Greece is very romantic. Buyers are also given a choice of sizes – from Cupid to Zeus.
The design is trendy minimalism – these packages could be placed at some closed modern art exhibition.
№7. Everything comes in handy
The spectacle should be served with bread. And even better – wine. For those who like to “save it for later”, the manufacturer with the telling name Wine Condom has developed a universal wine lid.
From the outside, of course, the “wine condom” looks very much like a Soviet condom. But in the American and European world of lovers of sparkling alcohol, it was perceived as a know-how and showed good results – a few months later, the invention of a son and mother from Texas was bought by the SimpleWine chain of wine shops.
Because drinking alcohol should be responsible!
What we’ve come to
Packaging design can sometimes become not just an embellishment of your brand, but its highlight. Even such a trivial product as condoms can be presented in an interesting way. Sometimes package design and cost are dependent components. True love is an action. Show how much you love your customers and they will reciprocate!
