Point of Purchase Nameplates and Labels
Consumer products need to grab attention and make the buyer feel like they must have this widget right now. Your nameplate or label design needs to help with this goal. Two items which should be considered in your design are the product branding and the performance needs of the label. Below is an overview of each of these.
Product Branding
Product branding plays a key role in making consumer products stand out at the point of purchase. What makes a buyer pick your product versus the others on the shelf? How do you differentiate from your competitors? Color can help with this.
This multicolor label illustrates the use of process color to add dimension to a label and draw attention to the product. It balances the important aspects of aesthetics and performance.
The decoration options for point of sale products are wide open for alternate processes such as lithography and silk screening. These provide attractive solutions to draw attention to the brand, helping to sell the product.
Performance Needs
Getting the buyer to follow through on the purchase is just the beginning for a quality product. You want to build brand loyalty and buzz. Therefore, the nameplate which shows your brand needs to last and continue to show well for your product. Will the product be exposed to sunlight or severe changes in temperature? Maybe it will be used in an area that is prone to chemical spills or certain cleaners. Or could there be chance of the product being dropped or having items dropped onto its surface? These are all questions to take into consideration and communicate appropriately when looking for a supplier for your labels.
