Dazzle Consumers with Foil Stamped Packaging

Retail spaces are crowded with many products this holiday season. In fact, competition between products is fierce throughout the year. How can you help your product stand out and catch the attention of consumers? According to the Journal of Applied Packaging Research, packaging plays a crucial role in communicating the benefits of a product to consumers. Packaging designers often use high visibility enhancements. This includes foil stamped packaging and gold foil to catch consumer attention and sell products.

Clemson University published a study for the Journal of Applied Packaging Research. It looked at how incorporating foil stamping to consumer good packaging affected consumer attention and purchase preference. Most noteworthy, the research found that foil stamping product packaging significantly affected consumer attention towards the product. Results showed that foil stamp print could be a highly strategic influencer on consumer attention and purchase decision. The study mentioned that “specific stimulus characteristics prompt consumer response.” Packaging stimulus included color, size, the incorporation of complex stimuli, and the degree of novelty of the stimulus. Embossing, holographic print and foil stamping all have the potential to separate a package from its competitors. In conclusion, the study recommended testing of these special print packaging affects to be sure they benefit your particular brand and product.

How can you bring your product to life with foil stamped packaging?

When gold foil stamping or another metallic foil stamp is added to packaging, the result can be brilliant. Foil packaging can draw immediate attention to a product. Furthermore, foil stamp print can be combined with embossing to create a 3D affect, getting even more attention. Foil stamping is not only used to create an elegant packaging for luxury products, but also more frequently to gain consumer attention for every day products.

Foil stamp printing does not use ink., therefore specialized foil stamping is ideal for darker colored papers. It adds a depth of richness to the look of product packaging. A foil stamp effect can make a consumer product stand out in a crowded market of competitors, as well as sway purchase decisions.
