Something printed may be just ink on paper, a product or label, but embellishment transforms it into an experience with a sensory, tactile experience. When customers 'feel' messages on packaging, they are far more likely to touch it, and even more likely to buy it.
Research shows there is a 70% increase in day-to-day brand-impact and engagement with a printed sensory experiences and buyers will pay up to 89% extra for eye-catching embellished products. Those are just two of the many impact-grabbing statistics revealed by Konica Minolta about printing that show just why a product sensory experience makes real commercial sense in digital printing. Print embellishment - including foil and varnishing - can be added inline on select production presses, and offline using dedicated print enhancement solutions.
Now, with new digital embellishment varnish techniques from Konica Minolta's strategic partner MGI, we are revolutionising the industry for both end users and direct customers. The digital print embellishment techniques and printing process enable customers to produce spot coatings, highlight defined areas and add 3D effects for your own customers.

The young generation of customers, service providers and decision makers in particular are communicating in new ways, opting for cross-media campaigns and using the best possible communication channel for their needs.
