DesignMax® from WS Packaging Group Breathes Exciting New Life into Brands

19 April 2017

For brands looking to create or refresh packaging that is both unique and noteworthy, DesignMax®,  a proprietary solution from WS Packaging Group, Inc., offers an innovative approach to help breathe new life into brands.

DesignMax is WS Packaging's value-added service that reviews brands' existing packages and delivers innovative solutions in construction, cost-effective market testing, and eye-catching design options.

"The DesignMax tool allows our staff artists to work directly with clients to provide them with suggestions and technological enhancements to their art to help improve the brand's appearance on the shelf," said Charlie Eitel, CEO, WS Packaging Group. "With our knowledge and capabilities in advanced printing technology, combined with our design staff, we can offer breakout designs the customer may not even have known were possible."

Whether it's a new design or an update of an existing one, DesignMax offers a flexible, cost-effective process designed to engage new audiences and increase shelf presence.

WS Packaging uses DesignMax to enhance designs within any industry—from cosmetics, healthcare, and household goods to wine and spirits, across brands such as Bayer, Coppertone, and Svedka.

For example, WS Packaging designers enhanced the branding and shelf presence of a hair care product by adding a folding carton that used holographic metallic special effects in the printing process. In another instance, a wholesale ice cream manufacturer asked the designers to change their existing one-color labels to a full-wrap, multi-colored, unique label for each flavor, resulting in expansion across retail outlets and e-commerce sites.

For other updates, like new FDA mandated changes in sizing, layout, and content, DesignMax can add value with a systematic review of the entire package.

DesignMax benefits include:

Incorporating advanced printing techniques with design to keep brands current

The DesignMax process incorporates updated guidelines, new techniques in construction, design prototypes, and technical capabilities to enhance or transform labels and packages.

The process is ideal for brand updates, graphic updates, or entirely new brand concepts. For added convenience, customers receive electronic links to their DesignMax solutions.

Cost-effective market testing

DesignMax offers a cost-effective market testing capability for up to ten new designs versus previous designs and competitive products.

Increased shelf presence with innovative design

Fresh and innovative design options range from folding carton sleeves and heat-changing label colorations to innovative "hour glass" timer labels and geo-location identifiers in real-time.
