Eye Popping Packaging: The Shelf Appeal of Holograms

Posted on by Patty Odell

Holographic packaging can add shelf appeal and draw consumers' attention. The latest advances in film coating and manufacturing technology have opened the door for even more innovative opportunities for embossed holographic materials used in packaging.

“Manufacturers have the considerable challenge of capturing customer attention and maintaining or growing market share, so the eye-catching and creative appeal of holograms helps to meet these challenges by giving products a highly distinctive decorative edge over competitors,” says Glenn Wood of the International Hologram Manufacturers Association.

HERE ARE FOUR EXAMPLES:

  • Colgate Palmolive/ Holographic Foil

    The brand tucked its new line of Total and Whitening toothpaste on shelves among row after row of dozens of other brands. Aimed at the premium end of the market, holographic foil was incorporated into the packaging design as a means to reinforce the high quality values of the brand. (Vendor: UK-based API)

  • Imperial Tobacco/ Hologram

    This hologram was created featuring a starburst visual effect to ensure that the Lambert & Butler brand makes a statement at point-of-sale. (Vendor: API/API Laminates)

  • Hasbro Games/ HoloPRISM
