That’s a huge priority, so you rely on new designs to engage your end consumer.
Design freedom
Complex design

It’s about designing for the senses, enveloping consumers in a complete brand experience to create the right perceptions for a product or service.
When designing luxury packaging that appeals to the most discerning of consumers, material selection is one way to trigger implicit notions of a brand or product.
Some manufacturers are choosing polymer-metal composites that provide the equivalent weight of metal, but also allow for the design freedom provided by thermoplastics.
