INDICATORS

Different types of meats emit a source of ammonia that can determine the expiration or

would completely disappear and the cashier would not be able to ring up the item

11. The world is getting smarter – and so is packaging. Interactivity
between the package and the consumer is the next avenue to
build the romance between your brands and your customers
Exciting technologies, such as Augmented Reality (AR) or Near-
Field Communication (NFC), today enable even a humble carton
box to entertain or inform the consumer in ways that are both
magical and pragmatic.
This connects the world of print to the online ether and is the
missing link that completes a virtuous circle.

17. Packaging is marketing and marketing is storytelling
Brand storytelling isn’t a new concept, but with the explosive growth
of social media and content marketing, the opportunities to tell
stories as part of direct and indirect brand marketing initiatives have
become a strategic priority.
The brand story is told on packaging via two kinds of language:
verbal and visual.
Research consistently shows that in retail environments, consumers
are more likely to purchase once they have picked up the package –
hence the power of storytelling to begin or cement a relationship
