The main thing i see is that they are not in focus. Maybe put the camera on manual focus and do it yourself,
as the autofocus is not always the best. Besides that take a look at other websites and see what they have
done. Here are some good examples.

most modern digital cameras have a macro mode, its for a sharper focus on close up shots. it could be that your shutter speed is too slow but forcing a flash might put a bright reflection on the packaging. I would mount the camera on a tripod and use a detatched light source and use the cameras self timer mode to avoid touching the camera during the shot.
