An Initial Study into the Impact of High-Visibility Enhancements on Shelf Presence
Standing out in a sea of similar products requires packaging that pops! High-visibility enhancements, such as embossing, specialty UV coatings, metallic/foil finishes, help you achieve just that. High-visibility enhancements increase product visibility, stimulate attraction, hold attention, and convey an image of value. These enhancements allow packages to jump off the shelf and become prominent in front of customers. The Sonoco Institute of Packaging Design and Graphics at Clemson University, in partnership with R. Andrew Hurley’s research program, conducted an eye-tracking study in the CU shop Consumer Behavior Lab. The results state the ability of a package to attract the shopper's visual attention has a strong influence on a consumer's decisions to purchase; making it clear that high-visibility enhancements on packages are highly effective in increasing customers' likelihood of purchase.
Which is Cheaper Offset or Digital Printing?
We are often asked how SunDance determines if a project should be produced using digital or offset technology. One of the driving factors is order quantity. Assuming there is no variable data such as personalization which would require the use of digital technology, Offset printing will yield a lower unit cost on higher order quantity projects, but there are higher upfront costs involved in getting the first sheet off the press. The distribution of the upfront costs over a greater quantity is commonly referred to as economies of scale which result in a lower unit cost than digital can provide.
