Amcor’s innovative finishing technologies offer stand-out shelf impact

Today’s consumer craves a personalized brand experience. This preference can have a meaningful impact when it comes to brand loyalty and profits.

As brands compete for consumer attention, 81 percent of shoppers have tried something new because the package caught their eye. Appearance or aesthetics of the package has led to 63 percent of shoppers repurchasing a product, and 52 percent have completely switched brands based on new packaging, according to Westrock.

Bottom line, the look and feel of packaging are primary drivers that influence a customer’s purchasing decision in the aisle. It’s a powerful enabler that meets consumers’ need for a personalized brand experience.

One of the key ways to create that experience is the use of finishing technologies. Amcor’s AmPlify™ finishing technologies for packaging is a portfolio of solutions designed to create engagement opportunities through more intense experiences with packaging elements that embody a product’s flavor, texture and scent.

“We have developed a platform of inking techniques that builds brand impressions and empowers shoppers to interact with your products,” said Amcor Flexibles North America Marketing Director John Kearny. “By utilizing our market insights, research and development strength, and design capabilities, AmPlify finishing technologies for packaging can deliver more consumer engagement and greater sales in the aisle.”

*Gloss and matte inks create a premium appearance for gourmet and upscale products through highlighted graphics that pop or decrease light reflection
*Metallics create an eye-catching package using highly reflective inks to really stand out
*Uniquely produced soft-touch films offer a more cost-effective way to achieve a smooth feel that resonates with consumers and also may be applied only in specific areas of the package that you choose to complement graphics
