Switzerland-based Clondalkin Flexible Packaging Kirchberg is set to unveil new tactile packaging solutions at the FachPack trade show to be held in Nuremberg, Germany this month.
In order to develop the new solutions, Clondalkin has added various tactile features, including relief and soft touch, to their printing technology for flexible packaging.

The tactile elements can be used partially or across the entire surface of the product.
Clondalkin Flexible Packaging Kirchberg sales and marketing director Sander Kool said: “Traditionally packaging has been used for visual communication, but tactile is now recognised as an important feature for communicating with customers at the point of sale as well.
“This new tactile packaging technology allows brand owners to create a premium experience for the consumer when they handle the product; a critical step in the buying process.
"Brand owners can communicate certain product characteristics to influence the consumer’s perception and emotional connection, and have a positive impact on their buying behaviour.
