Market trends:
Sales of packaged CD's are decreasing. There is a call for innovative packaging to create perceived value for the customer. PaperFoam gives a new look and feel to packaging. An unlimited range of colours. An opportunity for (re)new(ed) business!
Environmental aspects of the product life cycle are increasingly important. Every day more customers use sustainable packaging material and are refusing petroleum-based packaging now that alternatives are available. PaperFoam provides this opportunity for CDs and DVDs. PaperFoam is based on natural, environmentally-friendly materials.
Another trend is the wish of publishers to guarantee the authenticity of their products. PaperFoam may be produced only by licensed manufacturers. This means that the material cannot be pirated. PaperFoam packaging forms a unique guarantee for the authenticity of the packaged product.
