Harness innovation with a visit to one of our Experience Centers

Each Experience Center is complete with our Shelf Viewer tool, an interactive touchscreen database of nearly 70,000 images from a variety of real retail shelves around the globe. Look at shelf configurations and layouts to see how you can improve the category performance of your product, as well as evaluating the visibility and brand recognition of competitor products against your own.

We’ve been collecting in-depth data on all areas of packaging within our business for many years, and when you visit one of our Experience Centers, you can gain exclusive access to insights on whatever topics interest you via our Innobox stations. Use the interactive touchscreen units to explore and analyze trends, view case studies and browse information on everything from supply chain logistics to store display designs.

The average in-store experience lasts around 20 minutes, with shoppers making 15 purchases per visit and choosing each product in just 12 seconds, making it vital to get your pack design right. However, it's costly to develop, print and evaluate alternative designs. Our store visualizer allows you to view your packaging prototypes in a simulated store environment, assessing their on-shelf impact before committing any print budget.

Take some time to conduct an evaluation of your own packaging in our Inspiration and Brainstorm Rooms, and we can help you discover how subtle changes to things like packaging design, material composition or palletisation could deliver significant business impact. If you’re feeling inspired by particular case studies or examples, we can help you create a ‘moodboard’ of solutions you’d like to investigate further.

At our ISTA certified lab we rigorously test paper, board and pack performance throughout the supply chain. Our expert’s stress-test packaging in all different transport simulations and climates, and these leading logistics insights are brought alive for you and will inform the design and optimization of your own packaging.

Try seeing things from a different perspective by browsing our exhibition of packaging, with examples from a whole range of sectors all over the world – along with the results they’ve delivered. From browsing our Red Dot award-winning designs to learning about market-leading sustainability innovations like our Rofire fuel pellets, see if our exhibits can help spark the inspiration for new ideas that can help build your business.
