Hello all
First time poster - I'm interested in whether anyone has an opinion about the optimum size of packaging. Does the size of the box have an impact on how the game's value is perceived by the customer? I have a game that consists of 2 dice and three decks, each of 33 cards, and it would fit into a tuck box not much bigger than a standard deck of cards. But I'm worried that the perception of the game on the shelf would be that it was poor value for money.
What do you think?

I've just costed three different variations of box size. Just FYI: if I go for the smallest, then the retail price that I'd need to charge would be so high that my belief is that it would make the product look really expensive, particularly as it would probably get stocked next to much cheaper items. On the other hand, if I go for the largest, as benshelmars said, it looks a bit of a cheat when the box gets opened (although I'm putting clearly on the box what the contents are). So I think the "sweet spot" is somewhere in between.
Thanks again.
Steve
