story Guerilla Marketing: The Rise Of Unconventional Campaigns
Before we get into any details, let’s clarify that guerilla marketing has nothing to do any sort of illegal activity promotion . What it is, is a clever and unconventional marketing practice that limited budgets can tremendously benefit from. Guerilla advertising is a strategy that surprises the audience with advertising pieces in the most unexpected places. Customers are saturated by billboards, tv ads, radio ads, online banners and so many other advertising formats that they need to be shocked in order to really feel curious about the product. Guerilla advertising techniques range from the lowest of budgets to global campaigns. Some of the most common practices include advertising ambushes, ambient advertising and interactive initiatives. Here are some successful examples to illustrate the point. Unicef Dirty Water Campaign Image from adsoftheworld.com Unicef used a shocking dirty water vending machine to promote the Tap Project. New Yorkers were subtly confronted with a social reality and encouraged to donate money on site. The campaign not only encouraged instant donations, it also created project and website exposure for people to look for further information afterwards. Volkswagen ‘I wish I was...’ Campaign Image from inagorillacostume.com/ Volkswagen used simple signs to make car owners think of an upgrade. The amusing campaign had cars showing up their dreams of becoming a Volkswagen and car owners thinking of the brand. Yuzu Sushi Restaurant Ads Image from weburbanist.com/ Yuzu sushi restaurants ambushed drivers with a giant sushi roll in hopes to awaken some last minute cravings. The ads included the restaurant name to get customers’ attention to the correct sushi provider. As you have seen, guerilla marketing campaigns can be planned with any kind of budget.

You can create a series of messages to distribute to people during their lunch break. Order some flyer printing to give out to people on a park with phrases like “benches will be here later, our sandwiches are selling fast.” Posters: use poster printing to create powerful images on your business doors or shocking views on your windows. For instance, travel agencies could make customers feel like they have already arrived some of the destinations they offer by displaying realistic posters on the inside. Postcards: postcard marketing is open to many possibilities. We thought of using them to promote a delivery service. Order some postcard printing with pictures of some of your best products and complete the design with a message like “Looks great on paper, but wouldn’t it be better to get the real thing?” Banners: few printing products get as much exposure as well placed banners. You can use them to create a teaser campaign by printing a series of instructions that end up on your website or store. Check at our half price banners to start thinking of your next campaign.

story Happy Hour by Pros: Creative Beverage Packaging Inspiration
When it comes to package design, the sky's the limit. Today, there are plenty of resources that can make your design remarkable. With so much competition, your goal is to create an innovative design to seduce your audience and meet your purpose. Although this is not a simple task, even for the pros, you can find creative inspiration from those who have created kick-ass designs. We curated some of the best work we could finf online to give you an idea of what you can do! Take a look at this creative beverage packaging list with 10 with impressive designs for your favorite drinks: 1. Project by Great Works .This vodka tea infusion package has a summery look and feel. The minimalist design is clean and attractive with its mint-green color accents, its bottle neck hang tag is an effective attention grabber and it’s the perfect place to add extra information and keep that minimalist label, well minimal. See more of their work here . Get the look with our bottle neck hang tags (with your custom design of course), choose a standard finish, spot UV coating or high gloss UV coating. There are a number of uses for bottle neck hang tags, from a simple “new” message to an ingredient highlight, these tags can be made to serve your needs. We also carry beverage labels , and if you want to we can also provide advice on what’s the best material to print on, depending on the bottle’s purpose. 2. There are many different types of Whiskey to choose from -it all depends on one’s preference- but, when it comes to designing the bottle’s packaging, it seems that elegance is the key. We associate whiskey with fine drinking and curated tastes, so more often than not we find black labels (no pun intended) with gold accents - the go-to luxury branding colors. The idea of this re-design project was to keep the elegant essence of the original design but bringing it to a more modern place. San serif fonts combine both a contemporary feel and legibility, while still conforming to the aesthetics expected by the audience. It also brings a sense of hierarchy to the label. The mix of the gold and embossed text give the final product a sophisticated appearance. Project by Stranger & Stranger . Get the look: our premium labels can be requested with gold foil, simply ask for a free quote citing the details of your artwork. 3. David Vass and Nora Demeczky goes off the beaten path with this unique label redesign; made for the rosé cuvée Pirkadat , the result is a deep, vibrant rosé color, which takes the drink’s trademark to another level of sophistication and modernity. Pirkadat means daybreak and the label draws inspiration from the sky to present the brand in a powerful way. The redesign takes the original product from a high end restaurant to the hippest, jetsetter club in town without losing its sophistication. It is a balanced overall designed because it combines those rosé hues with vibrant dawn colors and that plain white on black sans serif font display, that guarantees the logo and text won’t be missed. Get the look: design around a concept rather than based off what the competition is doing, don’t get us wrong it’s still important to be aware of what the others are doing, but if we can take anything from this creative beverage packaging design is that sometimes literal can be out of the box. We strongly recommend checking out the original product and the lovely animated version of the label that shows where the palette comes from; in one word -inspiring! 4. All bout that custom shape, custom shapes no rectangles. Ok, bad lyrical puns aside, this label breaks the mold by not settling for a typical rectangular shape, but still keeping the label easy to read following a simplified version of an anchor. The anchor is a nod to the shipwrecks in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, from which wine bottles were recovered that inspired the designer.The contrast between the color of the wine and the white label creates a clean and aesthetically pleasing design that feels contemporary, and would not be out of place at a local bar in Williamsburg or Portland. Project by Mélanie Laviolette: Get the look: ordering custom shaped roll labels and investing on frosted glass bottles for your product. 5. What’s cooler than being cool? Ice cold. And these labels, they’re cool too. This Polish craft brewery busts out unadorned amber bottles with simple, yet colorful, labels that feel fund and inviting, the kind of beer you have at home and at the local bar down the street. The designer wisely selected three different colors to categorize beers and the label combines two key elements in design: a cohesive color scheme and clean typography. Additionally, the retro and simultaneously modern look solidifies the brand’s identity. Project byRedkroft. 6. The astonishing lavender fields of Provence were the inspiration for this limited-edition wine. This is an example that great inspiration can lead to a great design. This unique artwork stands out among others because instead of using pictures of the fields the designers created an exclusive new piece. If you look closely, the violet stripes seem to move- like the wind blowing through those beautiful lavender fields. The design is simple, but elegant. Project by Scandinavian Design Group . 7. Tito's Handmade Vodka is crafted in Austin, Texas. Not only this vodka has a label, it also has a complete set of really interesting beverage packaging. Theorange color scheme gives the design a modern look and walks away from the more obvious red-white-and-blue that one may expect for a product made in Texas. The different typefaces add value to the design because they create visual hierarchy and that well placed star tips us off to its origins without beating anyone over the head with it. Project by Becca Ray . Get the look checking out suitable packaging options like these bottle boxes which can be custom printed with any design. 8. This droplet-shaped label not only attracts our attention with its unusual shape, but the floral illustration that gives us a glimpse of the wine’s aroma, taste and color. Apart from its colorful and compact design, the font color (white) is easy to read. The rest of the bottle is left blank to avoid cluttering the design. This refined design is clean and classy. Even though there are various colors mixed in a small-shaped label, the design is not overly embellished. Project by Bob Studio . Get the look: with 70# eggshell felt labels that have that creamy, textured background color. 9. Whitespace is fundamental to build a clean design; it provides harmony and balance. Naturally, with this label’s extensive whitespace the center illustration takes the stage. The almost etheral look reminds us of seashells, waves and even a single storm cloud in a white sky. There is a coppery shine intersecting the illustration that gives the design a stylish yet dramatic touch. Project by Marina Porté. Get the look adding a metallic shine to a mostly light design, take a look at all our printing finishes and ask for a quote or free sample before you setlle on one. 10 . The source of inspiration for this theme is heaven. The idea was to project “stairs leading to the clouds”. This unorthodox bottle label design catches the eye with it’s seemingly, but not truly, rectangular shape. The special die-cutting is used to enhance the visual appeal of the bottle and the nearly monochromatic scheme adds a touch of muted, yet sophisticated elegance. Die-cuts can be used for labels and also presentation cards, to take a brand to the next level. Project by Anagrama . Not only does creative packaging design attracts audiences, but also increases sales- a recent study shows that package design led to 15% sales growth , so it makes more than sense to spend some time concocting the magical piece that will identify your (or your client’s) brand. We hope the featured collection above has given you some inspiration to begin your project. Make yours stand out in terms of layout, color, original shape and of course with printing finishes and extraordinary papers! Which was the most inspiring packaging design? Which aspects must be considered to create a great beverage packaging design? Share your comments below, your feedback is important to us. Contact us and we will feature your design!

story How Are Holographic Stickers Made & How it Works
Hologram-printed stickers are becoming a business trend. They complement your product and packaging, give your brand a premium look, and are sometimes necessary. What is a holographic sticker ? They change color and intensity when viewed from different angles and are noticeable from a distance, giving it that rainbow effect. So they can help popularize your product and improve sales. They also serve as authentication proofs and temper proofs. These stickers can contain your brand information, such as a logo, name, or emblem. In addition, they come with a strong adhesive so that they stick on most surfaces. We will see how holographic stickers are made What Are Holographic Stickers? How do holographic stickers work? They work like any other sticker except that these stickers look different. They are printed on iridescent vinyl material so that they glow and let out an attractive rainbow-like shine. These stickers are more than just fanciful, colorful labels. Customized holographic labels are useful as tamper-proof and can help prevent product counterfeiting. Holographic labels have a glossy finish, and there's usually a layer of lamination on the stickers. This extra layer creates durable, tear-proof, waterproof stickers. Besides adding aesthetic value to your product packaging, they are a security for your product. How do hologram printed labels work to keep your product safe? Simply tape your product's opening with your brand's stickers. The stickers are not reusable, and you can only apply them once. When they are removed, they show “void,” indicating that the product has been tampered with. In addition, the pharmaceutical or healthcare industry use custom hologram printed labels to distinguish genuine health product from cheap imitation. Brands that use this detailed packaging protect their image, ensure client satisfaction, and not lose money to counterfeit products. They come in different foil patterns: Rainbow foil Sparkle foil Cracked ice foil Void foil Faceted spin foil Hyperplaid foil How to Make Holographic Stickers with Cricut? The Cricut machine is popular with craft making. It allows you to cut custom prints such as t-shirt designs, greeting cards, stickers, and more. Cricut works with various materials, including paper, vinyl, card stock, or anything your scissors will cut. How are hologram-printed stickers made using Cricut? The machine uses small, movable blades to cut your designs from printed material. So this machine is a good candidate for accurately cutting your printed designs. Using Cricut on your holographic sticker design is easy: First, place your material on the cutting mat, then load the mat into the machine. Next, export your design to the Cricut design space. Choose the material type and send the design to your Cricut. Press the button on the Cricut to begin cutting. Later remove the mat from the machine when the process is complete. How do you make a hologram seal sticker? Holographic stickers are made using a metallised film, where a thin layer of metal is applied to create a reflective and eye-catching design. The design engraved onto the film is what diffracts light to create the holographic effect. These custom holographic stickers or labels can be used as security stickers for various purposes. To make a hologram seal sticker, a custom security design is printed onto a piece of polyester film, followed by a layer of metal applied through a process called embossing. The metallic layer created through embossing is so thin that it diffracts light in a way that the colors of the hologram seem to come together and shift when viewed from different angles.
