The new masterbatch package produces a special effect that makes every TPE cork look different, with a unique light brown swirl pattern and random black specs. Corks can be produced using existing injection molding technology, and are price-competitive with their natural counterparts.    

When viewed under a black light or other illumination technology, the unique identification in the ink or dye is revealed. Software advances are making these solutions more attainable but there is also a price premium as well as a cost to establish the initial infrastructure required.

A product that gives off a stylish, premium feel, while offering improved comfort and functionality, can attract buyers and often justify a higher price point. But by adding a TPE grip to an outdoor product, the perceived value and selling price skyrockets. The premium selling price offsets the initial investment by a long shot, and helps you increase profitability.

These enhanced products are typically priced higher than standard designs. In a big box store visit, the following price differential between these common household items was observed: PRICE COMPARISON OF CONSUMER GOODS WITH & WITHOUT TPES Every day, consumers see and choose among competing products found side-by-side on store shelves. Research has shown that adding sensory enhancement and aesthetics to these products can attract buyers and can also justify a higher price point.
