It’s time to make changes
Brand Evolution: Reinventing Packaging in Today's Dynamic World
Whether we want it or not, everything around us is constantly changing. Anyone who stubbornly sits still runs the risk of lagging behind, and this not only holds true in a marathon race but in almost all facets of life and work and, of course, in marketing as well. As such, product managers are well-advised to regularly check their brand image and adapt it if necessary, because what was trendy yesterday is today “retro” at best, but it is likely that the vast majority of consumers will simply deem it “out” tomorrow. In order to appeal to younger and thus newer consumer groups and to be perceived as modern, even major brands such as the world-famous, dark-brown caffeine soft drink consistently adapt themselves to contemporary tastes. For instance, apart from the shape of its bottles, its red-white logo has consistently undergone slight modifications since 1886 so that it always looks modern. This kind of adaptation to the design and/or product characteristics or functions is known as a “relaunch”. Like with the aforementioned soft drink, it can occur almost unnoticed or even be used very deliberately as an instrument for winning over new consumer groups.
Product Transformation: Meeting New Market Demands
New software functions recipe changes, new legal provisions related to, e.g., product labelling, or even increased customer demand for sustainable, plastic-free packaging – all these can be motives for a relaunch. To ensure that a product evolution or re-design is received positively on the market, you need to wonder in advance whether and how you announce the change, and above all which target audiences you wish to address. Because in the end, the customer alone decides whether the relaunch is successful or not.
Customer-Centricity: The Key to Success in Today's Market
Do I reach for it or do I let a product sit on the shelf? The packaging plays an increasing role in this process, and more and more buyers are rejecting ones made of plastic. This is why many manufacturers are now using a product relaunch to fundamentally revise the packaging and make it sustainable, e.g., by using cardboard. This is because the material is and always has been a message – and cardboard as a sustainable raw material is the packaging material of the hour.

Sustainability you can feel
Timeless cuts and natural materials such as fine-spun cotton, wool, or silk have always characterized the appeal of this underwear manufacturer. In addition to the introduction of the new brand image including the logo relaunch, the packaging line was also revised and is now seductive thanks to its natural-warm natural cardboard haptics. And now it does not use any plastics at all.
