Digitally Printed Mattress In A Box Packaging

We’ve seen this a lot: simple, one-color packaging that gets the job done. How can you expect to hit your sales target if you don't invest in your presentation?

You have a great product, but you left out one thing—your Packaging! Your Packaging is the first interaction your customers have with your product. The best packaging even creates brand loyalty—52% of customers return for business if they like the packaging.

It's an easy thing for most brands to overlook, but this is precisely the issue we aim to solve.

In the past, Digital was only viable in short-run scenarios when you compared the cost with other print options like Litho, but that’s become Digital’s calling card.

Packaging used to be a simple one-size-fits-all approach, a single design printed at high volumes, and Litho (Offset) was the best option. Not anymore!

We help upgrade brands from plain to premium and take advantage of all the latest technical and marketing innovations to create new designs and, more importantly, increase sales.

When designing your packaging, consider it from the target customer’s perspective. Is this made for me? Does the packaging itself fit in line with your brand? Does it feel at home in their home?

The payoff for branding that takes a targeted approach is that their product and packaging become an Instagram-able experience. Rather than being a throwaway element, the packaging is part of the experience.

You move packaging from a commodity to a personal experience that customers will return for!

The inside of your packaging is less important in a physical store than in e-commerce, but it’s always a great idea to include product instructions or other materials for the consumer inside.

What can you include to make their experience shareable? Customers today expect a branded experience from start to finish—the marketplace has responded, and so should you.

What elements of your brand need to be seen immediately?

Digital printing is the process of printing digital images directly onto corrugated substrate, using a single pass, direct-to-corrugate technique.

Instead of needing to pay for or create printing plates, digital printing allows you to upload files directly to the press and print. 

This simplifies the process, and opens up numerous marketing and design possibilities!

Creating an unboxing experience is the biggest challenge facing brands and packaging designers. Personalization needs to be a priority!

Each box size typically needs new production materials, increasing costs and time. Not to mention, there are large order requirements to cut down on those costs.

Imagine running several sizes without needing to stop production to changeover between art files.

• Twin
• Twin XL
• Queen
• King
• Cal King

Taking your product to market is now less expensive than ever. Digital Printing gives you the flexibility to quickly prototype, adjust your messaging, and change with the marketplace.

Here are 8 benefits of Digital Printing that will take your brand from plain to premium.

First, let’s discuss designs. Many brands use traditional methods and take a one-size-fits-all approach to their packaging.

If you have alternate product sizes or special product offerings or are testing a new product, Digital is the answer. You can quickly iterate on your design as fast as you can imagine.

Next, create a special sales event and print that directly on your packaging. If you put your packaging on display, and the packaging stands out with a fresh design, that will increase sales!

Change your logo, color choice, and create one time only designs.

Or, if you are heading to a trade show, adjust your packaging to match the event quickly and without additional costs or lead time. No other method allows you to do that.

When you want to create packaging, other printing methods require several weeks of lead time and upfront costs to create printing plates. That means you need an upfront budget before you get your first package.

These are one-time costs that can discourage many brands from creating alternate packaging designs. Imagine if you didn’t need to factor those into your budget. Where else could that money go?

Your packaging is the first interaction most customers will have with your product, so you need to be as creative as possible. 

Adjusting your messaging with the marketplace can help you create a successful product launch with eye-catching designs.

Are you going through a brand refresh? Send the new art file.

Small-volume designs used for promotional events are easy for Digital and extremely cost-effective compared to other printing methods.

Forget about a generic-looking packaging design. Choose something more professional.

Next, consider the speed to market that Digital Printing offers. Deliver alternate artwork to Bennett, and it will be printed on your packaging by the end of the day. What other printing method can offer that?

Step up your game with VDB, Variable Data Printing. That means you create an extremely personalized package, including your customer’s name.

While this isn’t unique to Digital, you can easily create unique designs for product variations utilizing the inside of the packaging.

Give your customer an experience of luxury or one that’s fun and vibrant. Change the messaging based on the product type (queen vs twin).

That gives the customer something worth sharing online, aka free advertising!

Finally, Digital Printing gives you the best bang for your buck. There is no minimum for it, thanks to the no-tooling costs.

Make a product and attack a new niche directly. Create prototypes while you figure out the marketplace.

Digital production allows you to create short-run designs for all your SKUs, not just a signal design/look. Or quickly create alternate designs for test marketing.

Have a new product and need to get to market fast? Digital cuts down production time to an insane degree! You can change your designs on the fly—it’s as easy as emailing a file.

How many innovations have entered the market in the last five years? What if you started using QR codes or other ideas in your packaging?

Get rid of the additional cost and time of labels for your different product SKUs. Simply incorporate your information into the design.

Shopping has become an experience for customers, and brands need to take notice. Brands must innovate with personalized packaging, and with Digital it’s possible.

Create a QR code with a promotional offer or video, a digital watermark that’s invisible to the naked eye, or documents that can be digitally accessed right from the box and cut down on physical materials that need to be shipped.

Creating packaging that is “app-enabled” is a must for brands moving forward.
