Packaging.

The picture is taken from here.

It comes with no surprise that the packaging of Dove and Axe’s products has two very different styles, that reflect the spirit of each of the brands.

In Dove’s packaging white colour prevails, especially in the women’s collection. It goes together with some other pastel colours, for example light blue or pink, and with gold colour, that a bird, Dove’s logo, is coloured in. For the men’s collection packaging, Dove has chosen to go with the gentle grey colour, accompanied with a silver colour. Both collections seem very elegant and sophisticated due to the accurate cursive print style.

Dove’s products are presented in many shapes, for example body creams are usually presented in big bottles and deodorants can be both in small or big sizes depending on the texture (stick or spray). Overall, the shape is rather a classic one, that exists among other brands, but remains very practical.

Axe’s packaging almost often black, and not grey as Dove’s men collection, accompanied with bright bold colours like red, yellow or blue. These colours express energy and drive to AXE’s potential buyers. The print the company uses on its product is also in the spirit of the brand.

Speaking about Axe’s packaging, as a Dove’s one, it’s also pretty standard and convenient in use.

By comparing packaging of the men’s collection of Dove and Axe it’s possible to say that these products have different consumer targets and attract their consumers differently. Dove presents a picture of a caring brand for its consumers’ needs, especially being himself (as speaking about men’s collection) by presenting the elegant design with pastel colours on its products. While Axe presents a picture of a brand, that helps its customers to stand out by using bright colours on the dark font on their product packaging to stand out on the shelves in stores attracting consumers’ views.

Both Dove and Axe’s products can be found in many big and small groceries shops. They are placed in the beauty and skin care area together with other resembling products.
