Read MoreHide Full Article

Sonoco Products Company (SON - Free Report) launched the PromoPeel Integrated Label Technology for flexible packaging. These instant redeemable on-pack coupons will offer customers a consistent label position while saving production time and costs.

These labels will help in removing customers’ hassles in product packaging, by providing coupons that they do not need to search for, clip or remember to bring to the store. The label lays flat, removes cleanly and eliminates scanning issues at the register. The technology is suited for coupons, recipes, peel-and-reveal games, trivia, contests, cross-promotions and more.

Moreover, PromoPeel will improve labor and production efficiencies by avoiding secondary processes associated with pressure-sensitive label (PSL) applications. This helps (Consumer packaged goods) CPGs to streamline their label application process.

The labels allow brand owners to achieve brand image consistency on the shelf and generate consumer interest in-store. It has also been approved to work on automated equipment at coupon clearing houses during the downstream coupon redemption process.
