Tactile Packaging Effects

Consumers like to touch before they buy. Studies have shown that engaging a consumer’s sense of touch with tactile packaging can positively influence sales. In a competitive market, creating packaging that appeals to multiple senses can help to differentiate your product from the competition and enhance the consumer’s experience.  

Tactile packaging effects can be created using embossing techniques or special varnish applications. Full-surface, micro-embossed structures create three-dimensional effects that can raise your packaging to a new level. You could also choose to apply embossing to your logo or other detail in your graphic design.
