We feel a sense of ownership and automatically value it more. This effect becomes even more powerful when the product comes in personalized packaging. It feels uniquely made for the customer, building an emotional connection and creating a lasting impression. This massively impacts buying decisions and brand loyalty. No wonder the personalized coke bottles are back.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221;][vc_column_inner][vc_single_image image=&#8221;135390&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But there is even more to it: Beyond protecting and delivering the product, printed packaging material is an important brand touchpoint. It communicates your message, provides useful information, and enhances the entire experience. All this happens at first glance, even before the box is opened.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Going from customers\u2019 names, there is a wide variety of personalization elements, creating deeper engagement. Our customers have had great success with personalized maps: Finding your own home location printed on a piece of packaging, it instantly creates a personal connection: with the product and the surroundings of the customer, including nearby store locations or landmarks.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221;][vc_column_inner][vc_single_image image=&#8221;135384&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.locr.com\/en\/online#locrfinder\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">locrFINDER<\/a>, an innovative online location tool, it is also possible to bridge print and digital. This also works perfectly for offset printed packaging: Customers can scan a QR code and access personalized location information (like the route to the nearest store) on their mobile device.
