Workshop Programme
It can be a bit of a cliché to say that ‘first impressions count’, however, in terms
of food packaging design it’s a phrase that has genuine market resonance. Consumers buy with their eyes before they get to taste the product at home.
While consumers are often drawn to the handmade and traditional nature of artisanal food products, producers still need to be acutely aware of the huge significance of packaging design, and how product presentation can impact on retail buyers’ and consumers’ perceptions of their food brand.
The key to truly effective packaging is to communicate the uniqueness and
personality of a product, while still fulfilling the high standards and professional
presentation demanded by today’s retail trade.
At this workshop, you will learn the means, methods and tips that can help small
and medium food producers choose effective packaging that will significantly
boost their chances of securing new listings in a competitive retail environment.
Summary
This is an ideal workshop for anyone thinking of designing or redesigning their
food packaging in 2012. Admission is free, but places are limited to 80 members and attendees are asked to pre-register by emailing dublinfoodchain@gmail.com
