The mobile way of Packaging. QR-Codes enable Call2Action methods
"Still advertising or already scanning?" In some European countries every second person owns a Smartphone. Interactive response elements in classical advertising media have significant acceptance rates and are increasingly used by consumers. A good reason to find out everything worth knowing about the possibilities and creation of successful QR code campaigns: practical examples plus Do's and Don'ts. You should not leave this enormous potential dormant for your brand.

Extended Packaging: QR-Codes at Henkel Consumer Adhesives
Henkel is one of the pioneers among the manufacturers of branded goods: QR codes are used as part of integrated marketing concepts. The cartons for the Pattex adhesive carry a QR code which takes you to an interactive guide on adhesives. Salima Douven gives first hand insights on the development and function of this exemplary customer loyalty programme and tells us how it works, how the programme has been accepted and what the future is.

Virtual placement on the shelf – is that what the retail trade wants?

Do the ideas of consumers and the retail trade tally, who provides reliable information and who controls the data flow? In their study “Mobile Commerce", the EHI surveyed more than 200 retailers on the opportunities and risks which mobile phones offer by giving customers mobile access to product and price information. The result gives current insights on the rapidly changing status and upcoming projects.

Packaging 2.0? Packaging in a media and information society
Everyone is talking about the media and information society. It has become obvious that the spread of (digital) media has changed our life. We can all feel it if we look close enough. And this changes the parameters for consumption, marketing, advertising and also packaging. Will we still need packaging in a digital world? Will packaging need to be different? Or will things stay as they are? We will see – not only in the lecture.

Digital solutions for packaging authentication

The Counterfeiting Intelligence Bureau estimates that global counterfeiting is 5 to 7% of international trade, equivalent to more than $500B a year. While many security solutions are available on the market today, very few are designed for large scale deployment. In response, AlpVision invented an industry-suitable authentication technology that performs genuine-or-fake verifications of packaging components (labels, carton boxes, blister packs) using a flatbed scanner, camera or iPhone 4. Dr. Fred Jordan will describe this technology and explain how printing and packaging companies can use their existing equipment (Offset, Flexography, Rotogravure) to offer branded product manufacturers high security solutions at zero production cost.
