Virtual shopping has exploded the retail marketing business over the last two decades. In 1994 very few people had internet access compared to roughly 84% of households with internet access today. Smartphones have increased online sales between 2010 and 2014 from 24% to 58%. Today, over three-quarters of adults have made some sort of online purchase whereas only half had done so in 2008. Consumers have discovered that with online convenience they can pay bills, research places to eat or visit, and shop.

The information highway is responsible for a vast majority of communications and sales throughout the world. In the United States, online sales are estimated to account for roughly 60% of all retail sales and will equate to approximately $370 billion. These figures do not include web-influenced sales such as research, browsing, and mapping retail products and stores.

This figure also does not include retail sales of items not purchases or rarely purchased on line such as gasoline or restaurant meals. Retail manufacturers will be more successful in online shopping with products that do not have a need to be touched or seen first hand.

I am always in awe when I go to the movies and sit in front of that huge screen where a story comes to life.  I am able to cast aside my worries and life hardships to enjoy time just watching the action in front of me without caring what is going on in the outside world.  The flawless continuity of the screen helps us forget that what we see before us is not reality, but a visual phenomenon.

Mailing Tubes, Poster Tubes, Cardboard Tubes

1819

 

I recently received an important document in the mail. This document represented many hours totaling over two years of my life. I had poured my heart and soul into those hours, and in the end I received nothing more than a piece of thick paper wrapped in a mailing package with my name on the label. Yet, that paper meant everything to me. It was the symbol that represented a great challenge that I overcame and achieved. That paper was my degree from graduate school where I received my Master of Science in Education with a 4.0 GPA.

Custom Paper Canisters – Style 4

Style 4 - Fiber cans and telescope tubes

I am drawn to aesthetic packaging.

I appreciate when packaging is multi-functional, good for the environment, well made, and economically priced. I like a unique style that brings classic fun, and eclectic appeal, that effortlessly blends with my neat and organized lifestyle. I am a product person and packaging is half the selling point for me.

If I don’t like the way it looks on the shelf, I probably might not like the way it works in my home. Consumers want to know they are not only getting a great product, they want it to look great too!

Appealing Paper Packaging Wins the Race – Paper Canisters, Style 3

Style 3 - Fiber cans and Telescope Tubes

Many people would agree that sight is the most powerful of the five senses.

I remember growing up and seeing images of an illusion where if you looked hard enough in a particular photo you would see either a beautiful young maiden, or an ugly hag, depending on how you viewed the photo and what your eyes focused on. I distinctly remember always seeing the beautiful young girl first. As shallow as it may sound, I am simply attracted to things that are pretty. When something smells good, or tastes good… it’s good. However, when something looks good, it is amazing. The visual effect of the item encourages the other senses to instinctively appreciate what you are viewing more and more.

I have to admit, I am a total product person. I am drawn in to things that are pretty, packaged well, and will look good on my counter.  I love sharply dressed products that fill the senses with visual appeal.  Clever sayings, bright colors, and high end printing are all indicators of a well thought out product design.

Paper Canisters, Fiber Cans, 3 Piece Telescope Tubes – Style 1

Fiber cans & Telescope Tubes - Style 1

Primary and secondary packaging are not usually a company’s first thought when launching a new product or re-branding an existing one.

More often than not, businesses focus entirely on their product alone, forgetting about packaging and shipping until the time comes to package and ship. Little thought, if any, is often dedicated to the design of a retail canister. The paper packaging and shipping industry is where design, strategy, and innovation are the keys to successfully marketing a product, business, or person.

The goal: meet the needs of each customer by manufacturing a beautiful paper canister that protects, promotes, and does not break the bank. Read more…

Product Diversity: Paper Tubes & Edge Protectors

Diversify DeAnna Kane

 

To diversify, or not to diversify. A company’s brand may hinge on many things, including products and diversity within those products. Ever go to a restaurant and see the menu and become so overwhelmed with the choices? Or walk into a Disney store and have no idea where to start to find that special gift for someone? Or perhaps just the opposite…where you have a requirement and most companies fall short in providing a product that fits that need?

Oftentimes people may settle for something that is less effective, and might not always be exactly what they need. The ability to customize products, particularly paper packaging products, is non-existent in many companies and leaves businesses searching day in and day out. Consumers yearn to avoid the misadventures in making bad choices that are a waste of time and money.
