A unique packaging can greatly expand the pool of consumers.
The project combines the advantages of the marketing mix and communication related to packaging to greater efficiencies in the production phase and stock.

QR CODE
Integration into the packaging of the QR Code technology, in a perspective of web marketing development
The project is oriented to the increase of the customer experience, through a "fast response" of value-added content. In the phase of use, the packaging acts as a point of contact for interacting with the consumer. The QR Code technology applied to packaging allows direct access to the product in order to obtain information on:
- Technical, safety and environmental data sheet of the product - in different languages
- Customization and product variants
- Use of the product, through explanations of the correct use and video tutorials - in different languages
- Points of sale, thanks to geolocation the user is directed to the nearest one
- Support Services
The project allows to interact with international consumers, thanks to accessing content in specific reference languages - export orientation.
