Is your packaging shelf-ready—or does it still scream “homemade”? 


In this episode of She Sells Differently, Andee Hart breaks down five subtle but powerful signs your packaging isn’t ready for retail shelves—and how to fix them without a total rebrand. 


We’ll explore why durability builds trust, how the unboxing experience influences repeat purchases more than your logo, the surprising power of typography, how shelf placement height changes what “works” in packaging design, and why pros obsess over negative space instead of flashy graphics. 


If you’ve ever worried that your packaging looks more DIY than shelf-ready, this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and simple upgrades that make your product look professional and trustworthy.
