We talk a lot about how a product looks...
But the moment someone picks it up, another sense takes over: touch.
Stahl’s updated Sensora® haptic coatings are designed to create tactile packaging experiences, with finishes ranging from soft and velvety to smooth, silky, rubbery, and textured. The coatings can be used across cartons, labels, flexible packaging, cosmetics, technology products, and luxury goods.
That opens up an interesting design question: what should your product feel like in someone’s hand?
Texture can influence grip, perceived quality, and the overall experience before the product is even opened.
For this Material Monday, we’re thinking beyond what catches the eye and looking at what makes someone want to keep holding on.
