Good webinar put on by Sappi.
The things we touch mean more to us. Multisensory packaging is the most likely to attract customers. On this journey Vicki Strull will take you through a new Sappi magazine, Reach Out and Touch, where you’ll discover how the power of touch changes the way we think, feel and behave and ultimately, influences how we spend our money. Since print can be a physical manifestation of a brand—and our perception of it—you’ll be armed with information to help you rethink how the physical quality of your packaging can drive your brand.
