Sense of Touch
Incorporating features that speak to the different senses sparks consumer engagement with your product. Draw them in to pick-up, touch and feel your specific package.
Personalization
Individualizing on-package messages and speaking to specific audiences creates personalization that today’s consumers are craving. Digital printing allows for easy customization or to produce smaller market launches.
Brick and Mortar & Online
Consistency With the increasing number of consumers shopping online for their pet food products, package formats designed to address the rigors of the e-commerce supply chain still need to connect and resonate with packages consumers are familiar with seeing on the store shelf. It’s key to stay easily recognizable and create continuity in brand recognition.
