Because one set of colors may speak to one consumer demographic yet fall on the deaf ears of another one, product manufacturers should keep their target audiences in mind when choosing color combinations for their label…

  • Failing to Put Warning Labels on Products is Risky Business

    James Lowry
    13 Jan 2012 | 10:00 am
    It seems like a no-brainer — if products could pose any danger to users, manufacturers should disclose this information. It doesn't matter of they make toys or dietary supplements, it's vital that brands note any potential dangers. Yet, for some reason many companies forget to do this and have to recall their products — or even worse, they get sued by their customers as a result. Either way, these simple mistakes can cost thousands or even millions of dollars, depending on the size of the company and the popularity of its products. Not to mention the risk of creating permanent physical…

  • In Pictures – Installing an @Xeikon 3300 digital label printing machine

    Adrian
    17 Jan 2012 | 2:10 am
    Have you ever wondered what happens when you install a digital label printing machine?  We took a few photos when we swapped out our  330 for the new Xeikon 3300 digital label printing machine in December 2011, shown below.  The whole process of decommissioning the old machine and installing and commissioning the new one took about 6 days, and went very well thanks to the expert team from Xeikon. If you haven’t seen the video of the Morris Dancing ceremony, it is available here. This is what a Xeikon 3300 looks like when its sat in your car park (being carefully guarded!)  …

      Ingede's Axel Fischer said: "These results are interesting, but not surprising. This is not proof that it will work in every mill, this is not a model for a general deinking plant, and it does not change our attitude of the deinkability of Indigo. "This only means that HP should label Indigo as Indigo paper, collect it and ship it to Arjowiggins but keep it out of the rest of Europe"     We have noted before the benefits of using Xeikon dry toner for digital label printing as its fully recyclable (known as deinking), where the competitive ink technology…

    Stopped but Not Dead is an original article from: M-bossed.com — A media blog. ©2009 Ryan McAbee || The SOPA and PIPA bills to regulate piracy and sharing of copyrighted materials has been shelved, stopped, suspsended. But the media companies who push for such far reaching legislation are not stopping. Until Congress adapts copyright and IP laws for this century, the ideals of SOPA and PIPA will never be dead. Here Clay Shirky walks us through the history of these laws and begs us to never stop our vigilance.

    The Entrepreneurist is the New Small is an original article from: M-bossed.com — A media blog. ©2009 Ryan McAbee || Last January, I proposed a few new business models that could take print forward for the near term. I gave these types of print shops names like the Specialist, Localist, Technologist, Leanist, and the Entreprenuerist. All, with the possible exception of the Leanist, challenge the status quo through the effective exploitation of technology. Fast forward to this January where I found myself reading Phil Simon’s The New Small. Simon talks about a new breed of small…

    Conscious Shrinking is an original article from: M-bossed.com — A media blog. ©2009 Ryan McAbee || Youngstown, Ohio shares some parallels with any mature industry faced with the possibilities of constricting. The town sits on the bank of the Mahoning River about halfway in between Cleveland and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Steel made Youngstown a relative economic boomtown until the domestic steel industry started to decline through the 1970′s.

    As 2012 begins, it’s important to review your marketing tactics to get a clearer picture of what worked and what didn’t. Technology is constantly evolving, and it’s wise to keep up with new trends. That said, if email marketing is a part of your marketing plan, are you utilizing it the best way possible to ensure the best results? What are we talking about, in particular? Well, let’s start with the basics: You don’t necessarily want to just add anyone to your mailing list.

    Choosing a channel was not an issue for Shakespeare in the 1600s when his only option was to dip his quill in the ink well and draft his plays on whatever writing surface was available. Marketers today have many channels in which to communicate with their customers, but the savvy marketer considers the environment AND the marketing return on the investment. If you’re a supporter of going green off the clock, shouldn’t you be practicing what you preach on the clock?  Does your company have environmental initiatives and is your marketing department being good stewards of it resources?

    Gina Danner
    3 Jan 2012 | 9:16 am
    Flash mobs are unexpected, irresistible, and often historic if they go viral on You Tube. Chief Marketing Officers should aspire for the same traits in their email campaigns. Harper’s Magazine’s editor Bill Wasik invented flash mobs as an experiment about social conformity and people wanting to be part of the next big thing. His first flash mob failed.  Abraham Lincoln said, “Success is going from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.” However, Wasik’s meticulously planned his second flash mob, which was held in 2003 in Macy’s Department store. It was a success with…

    27 Dec 2011 | 10:16 am
    Over lunch my friend described the duress his associates were going through because of a switch from a fixed- to zero-based budgeting. In essence, department heads could no longer use last year’s budget adjusted for inflation. They instead had to cost justify each expenditure line item by line item. These are the signs of tighter times where ideally every dime spent brings in a return. Regardless of which accounting system your company uses, be a good corporate citizen this year by conducting a marketing audit. December is a great month to reflect and plan given business-as-usual stalls due…

    Earlier this month, I shared The 2012 Plan and one of the cornerstones of the plan is “Automate.” In that post, I siad: “A task worth doing manually is worth automating.

If you’re looking for a top-shelf social media manager for your organization, start your search in the social media universe. I wasn’t looking for an expert. I was looking for a person who utilized social media the way I did – to communicate with people.

    JimRaffel
    18 Jan 2012 | 4:30 am
    Today’s post on the ColorMetrix blog was repurposed from a 2007 post that first appeared here. There is one significant difference: The re-purposed post on ColorMetrix has a picture accompanying it that Shelby Sapusek spent about 30 minutes staging. She’s damn creative in the visual arts and that image (which I’ve also included with this post) is powerful for the target audience. It was so powerful that I picked up the phone to call her about it before I even read the heavily edited post. What makes an image powerful? It relates to the post with which it’s published.
