20 commandments of software packaging




















Although in Exodus the antecedent is unclear, other passages make it clear that God also who wrote the second set of tablets containing ten commandments. When dealing with Scripture, it is a hermeneutical principle that the unclear passages should be interpreted by the clear passages, and when this procedure is followed it should erase any supposed contradiction in these verses.

In Deuteronomy, Moses recounts these details to the assembly. He mentioned that God gave him the first set of tablets Deuteronomy , —11 ; cf. Exodus —18 , which he subsequently broke when he came down from the mountain Deuteronomy — After talking about his period of fasting and pleading with God not to destroy the people, Moses told the people about the second set of tablets.

And I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke; and you shall put them in the ark.

So I made an ark of acacia wood, hewed two tablets of stone like the first, and went up the mountain, having the two tablets in my hand. And He wrote on the tablets according to the first writing, the Ten Commandments, which the Lord had spoken to you in the mountain from the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly; and the Lord gave them to me.

Then I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tablets in the ark which I had made; and there they are, just as the Lord commanded me. Deuteronomy —5.

You can't automatically assume that a package will always be installed interactively on the boot volume through the GUI could you ever really? Many of these commandments stem from the fact that sometimes packages aren't going to be installed on the boot-volume of the system.

In this vein, running scripts that test against the currently booted OS produce unintended results at best. These guidelines should lead us all to that end result: installing software quickly and efficiently via your chosen method without damaging your system.

Many thanks go out to the many members of the Macenterprise Mailing list for providing many of these rules. I can only take credit in compiling these rules, and not coming up with them on my own. Please forgive the little errors such as post-install instead of postinstall, if you prefer and feel free to comment to your heart's content. Hopefully those who package applications will read this and change their ways.

Until then, I'll be with everyone else who needs to repackage some Crappy App whose package installer just won't work There are many tools out there that are available for software packaging.

This is not an exhaustive list. Please keep in mind that some of these instructions are version specific. This should get updated regularly as new software comes out that needs to be deploy. Lastly, avoid re-packaging if possible and try to use the original installers. Obviously that's not always going to be possible. Also, note that I usually try to stick with a naming convention that includes the version of the application this way I can know for sure what version I'm dealing with.

The PDF manual needs to be downloaded after the fact. The directory contains the manual and an accompanying plist file. Too much copy will actually prevent someone from reading it.

If they wanted to read a book, they would have stayed at home to do it. Try to keep it limited to three bullet points and make those bullet points announce the three best things about the product. Then list the additional selling points on the rest of the package.

The primary reason s that the prospective customer should buy your product. A solid value proposition is a clear statement that covers the following:. Your value proposition is the thing that should be as clear as day on your package design and any other auxiliary marketing pieces.

Also, be aware, that you can give an infinite amount of additional information to a customer by simply providing a web address to a polished website. We regularly see that many marketing goals and product challenges can be overcome with some package design creativity. Do you want to raise the perceived value of your product or brand?

Do you not have enough space for information that a potential customer needs before a purchase? Do you want to provide more value to your customers? Do you have security, ecological, deterioration or shipping concerns with your products? You can see examples of these situations above. The first example above is a rum bottle that we designed. They knew what type of bottle that they wanted to use but wanted to do something more than a standard label.

After developing the brand, we worked with them to develop a beautiful label with an eye-catching die-cut that is physically printed right onto the bottle. The striking package helps them standout on the shelf and elevates its perceived value. You can read more about the process behind the design and development of the Guazapa brand and bottle here.

The next two designs above had more information than they could comfortably fit on their respective packages. The first of the two, we created an open-able flap that provided more space for information. Not only does this provide more room, it makes a potential customer curious and gives them something to interact with. The second of the two was going to have a simple card within a clam-shell with the product and attempt to get all the information on it.

Instead, we worked together to develop what is essentially a brochure that they can package in a clam-shell or even use just as informational for trade-shows and other events. The fourth package design in the gallery is a toy car that makes sounds.

In order to show how it works, the box is open and allows a potential customer to interact with it and see what it does. This is especially good when the end-user is a child. They are much less likely to read features and would rather experiment and see what it does.

Back to the third package design in the gallery, they had concerns with security and transport. So we assisted them with getting the package encased in something nigh-indestructible: a plastic clam-shell. They help avoid in-store theft and keep out any moisture as well as keeping the product safe during transport. The last two in the gallery above have unique aspects to the packaging that really help the package standout from everything else in the aisle. The first of the two being a skin tanner and the second of the two a book-light.

Do you have a packaging problem that needs some out of the box thinking? Give us a call at and we can help out. Now is your big chance to make the sale! In the example above, not only do we list that the cooler is great for the beach, picnics and more, but we show a visual of how great a time you can have with friends and family if you bought this speaker.

Many big brands do this very well in their marketing and you can use them for inspiration. With Coca-Cola, life will be swell.

They all use this indirect imagery so that you associate these ideas with the brand and you also feel better when using their products in those situations. Another element that you can add to your package design in order to facilitate a sale is nurturing trust and ensuring to a prospective client that your claims are backed by something. This includes things like customer testimonials or guarantees of quality like on the chip bags that we designed above.

Another great trust builder are any awards or positive publicity that the product has. Take advantage of any awards or recognition that your product has won. Other forms of potential benefits that can be used to build a potential customers trust are things that your target customer may care about.

This includes things like if your product does not contain GMOs, is organic, uses renewable packaging, etc. An element that should be considered to be added to your package design is the promotion of your brand and product line. Do you have other related products to this one? Show what they are, the difference between the current product and the other item in the product line and give them an idea where they can purchase it. The other piece is promoting your brand.

Can you provide a relevant call to action to the customer to improve their experience with the product? Call to action items include things like recipes that the customer can follow to better use your product, an idea as to where they can go online to learn more uses of the product or any extraneous activity that the customer can do that allows them to further interact with the brand in a positive way.
