Packaging
 
 

Enhanced brand image

Looking to gain customer attention, companies are focusing on labeling returnable packaging products for increased visibility.

For example, Rehrig Pacific Company created a branded returnable tray that exactly matched the color of a two-liter bottle from PepsiCo, Inc., Purchase, N.Y. In consumer testing against unbranded returnable packaging, it was determined that people showed a strong preference for soft drinks in branded reusable packaging products.

It is expected that companies who can marry a brand with the positive associations with returnable packaging will continue to reap benefits in the future.
