Designsake Studio, an agency specializing in branding and packaging design, announced its new Matter platform, making a new form of antimicrobial protective coating that works with a variety of packaging materials available to partners who wish to update their product packaging in light of today’s consumer concerns.
Matter is an FDA & EPA Certified antimicrobial technology that provides protection against 99.9% of microbes and can be applied to physical materials, such as shipping boxes and product packaging, as well as paper, plastics, glass, metal and textiles. Matter uses silver technology developed to eliminate the opportunity for microbes to exist on a protected surface. Because it is a versatile, invisible coating, it can be applied to both new or existing packaging, said the company.
In coming months, companies will have the ability to brand their product packaging with the Matter logo, acting as a first of its kind antimicrobial certification, while highlighting a brand’s values around safety and sustainability. Because Matter applies as an invisible coating, it does not compromise the integrity of a product’s aesthetic or functionality, said the company, and can be quickly integrated into a company’s existing packaging in the final steps of the print production process. With sustainability top of mind, Matter was also created to have no impact on the ultimate recyclability of the end product, while still providing protection for the lifetime of the treated material.
