Without adequate packaging and marketing behind it, a new product entering the market will struggle to attract market share. It’s the marketing, promotion, and packaging of a product that tells the public what the product is, how to get it, and how it can improve their lives.
To ensure the success of any promotional campaign a new product must be labeled in such a way that it achieves maximum exposure. One of the best ways to achieve that goal is to use shrink sleeve labeling.
Shrink wrap sleeves can be applied to products in many different ways. From covering just the cap to creating a full-body 360-degree wrap. This gives the benefit of a large canvas on which to create an appealing and attention grabbing design.
Shrink wrap sleeves labeling removes many constraints of packaging design as the process allows the wrap to conform smoothly to complex shapes, while remaining flexible and durable. The ability of the sleeves to wrap around almost any package design gives marketers an edge in creating a product design that stands out from the crowd.
Not only are shrink wrap sleeves tough they are also manufactured from biodegradable materials to increase consumer confidence. The added strength they add to the packaging means manufacturers can reduce the use of extra protection during transport. This saves on material, transportation costs and helps the environment!
In 2011 a study was conducted by AC Nielsen using 800 consumers to determine the value of packaging and create a better understanding of consumer preference.
The study showed that there was a higher emotional connection with shrink sleeve labels over the traditional variety of labeling. The study also determined a correlation between shrink sleeve labeling and long-term sales, and that labeling has a significant influence on the effectiveness of product trials.
With new developments in the manufacturing process, lowering costs, and continued refinement of the product. Demand is sure to continue as more manufacturers see the potential that shrink sleeve labeling can have for maximum visual impact and creating greater appeal for new product lines.
