The Art of Unboxing, Vicki Weinberg Podcast
Featuring Dane Whitehurst
Think your product packaging is “just a box”? Think again.
In this episode, we look at how clever packaging can become your secret sales tool — boosting customer loyalty, brand recognition, and even your social media reach. If you’re a product creator or e-commerce business owner, this conversation might just change the way you think about boxes forever.
I’m joined by Dane Whitehurst, Creative Director at award-winning packaging company Burgopak. With over two decades of experience, Dane shares how packaging can transform the moment of unboxing into a powerful, joyful brand experience your customers won’t forget — and will want to share.
Dane shares:

How to create a memorable unboxing moment that gives your customer a dopamine hit
Real examples of clever, creative packaging (and how they work on a practical level)
How to balance cost and creativity, even if you’re working with tight margins
Simple sustainability tips that make a big difference
Why packaging design could be your best friend when it comes to shareable social content
Dane also shares one key piece of advice that hardly anyone talks about when it comes to packaging — but it could save you time, money and stress down the line.
