Steven Cox, Creative Services Director at Daymon, talks to Packaging Europe about how brands can use packaging to boost their sales and their image.
A customer walks down the aisle. Something green catches her eye on the third shelf. At that moment, the package becomes a sensory touchpoint in the path to purchase. The customer may not consciously realize the power of that package, but before the product ever hit the shelf, a package designer carefully considered a variety of elements in the design and materials to ensure the product would get a first or second look.

In fact, according to Mintel’s Global Packaging Trends 2018 report, four of the key trends we that can be expected to see in global best-of-the-shelf packaging in the coming year directly reflect changing consumer expectations and values.
