Stable income: Somewhat stable

Packaging design can be a moderately stable side hustle for consistent income for most people. While there is a decent baseline of demand, income can be unreliable at times with some months being more predictable than others. Online sources and personal experience indicate that some designers consistently earn while others experience fluctuations. I'd rate it a 2 out of 3 because although there is potential for steady income, it may not always be as dependable as a traditional job.
