An Initial Study into the Impact of High-Visibility Enhancements on Shelf Presence

High-visibility enhancements are processes that increase product visibility, stimulate attraction, hold attention, and convey an image of value. To stand out in a sea of similar products requires packaging that pops! High-visibility enhancements include processes such as embossing, specialty UV coatings, metallic/foil finishes, and more. These enhancements allow packages to jump off the shelves, become prominent in front of customers, and ultimately increases the chances of purchase.
