YUPO® Paper and the Power of Color in Branding
The battle for shelf space at retail is highly competitive. For consumer goods brands catching the shopper’s eye is what makes or breaks the sale in an aisle full of products. Try to imagine the shopping experience from the perspective of the customer. When faced with a plethora of products to choose from, what helps to tip the scale for brand A vs. B?
Designing packaging that evokes the spirit of a brand while also conveying an aesthetically pleasing exterior is pivotal for relaying how your product fits into a person’s life. Once you’ve achieved some level of brand recognition, the next task is to build upon this foundation with uniformity across all your products at retail.
Pantone – Color, Evolved
Color Consistency
Color is a key differentiator in package design. Pantone helps brands to stay ahead of the trends in package design and corporate branding.
A primary device used within design to ensure that a company’s packaging is immediately recognizable is color. Along with the form, texture and scale of the package, color instantly draws the eye and begins the deliberation process of whether or not to make a purchase.
Within the field of design, Pantone is the worldwide authority on color. Our language for color communication spans from designer to manufacturer to retailer to customer. This enables companies to maintain consistency across manufacturing, which in turn solidifies their branding.
