The time is now for brands to roll out unique packaging structures that not only differentiate on shelf, but also help form and support brand identity.
THE FACE AND ROLE OF PACKAGING ONLINE
As e-commerce grows, brands must explore both the opportunities and threats that this can bring, as the shift from in-store to shopping becomes a core part of the packaging design conversation and brief.
PACKAGING GETS SMART, ACTIVE AND INTELLIGENT
While there is a lack of standardized definitions for smart, active, intelligent, and even mobile-enabled packaging, there are still clear and measurable connections with consumers and in some cases it is even saving lives.
THE EXPERIENCE OF PACKAGING
Packaging design has become dominated by the need for brand recognition and variant identification and information. Consumers are increasingly looking for brands to entertain and engage them.
