Barry Sanel Packaging Advisors to Provide General Consulting and Management Services Including Representation, Branding, Design and Production Management
New York, NY (1888PressRelease) May 23, 2008 - Barry Sanel, a respected printing and packaging solutions executive with over 20 years of industry experience, announced the launch of Barry Sanel Packaging Advisors, a new consulting services firm dedicated to the packaging industry.
Among the consultative services the new firm will offer are:
• Agency selection design direction and management
• Packaging innovation and sustainability initiatives
• Cost reduction, process and budget control
• Printer selection, press approvals and color management
Mr. Sanel’s extensive industry experience includes his most recent post of Packaging Manager in the Marketing Services division of Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages where he managed packaging on notable premium brands such as Mott’s, Nantucket Nectars, Mistic Iced Tea, Orangina, Orange Crush, ReaLemon, IBC, Stewart’s Root Beer and Yoo-Hoo Chocolate Beverage Drink.
During his tenure at Cadbury Schweppes, Sanel was responsible for hiring design agencies, giving design direction, budgeting and execution for re-branding and product line strategy campaigns as well as ensuring compliance with all food labeling regulations in North America. His expertise includes primary, secondary and tertiary packaging development.
"In my years within the packaging industry, I have seen so many jobs go over budget or get delayed because of press problems that began in the design phase.
I realized that many companies need a packaging specialist who can help them prevent these losses, but don't have the budget for a full-time staff member. This became the catalyst for my idea to be available for outsourcing. The small investment a company makes in hiring me for a few days can pay for itself if a packaging component would otherwise be delayed or has to be reprinted.
I have also seen otherwise very talented Brand Managers, Art Directors and Designers go on press with little or no printing experience create major delays because they don’t understand the process. I have the printing and marketing skills to bridge this gap.”
“How good does your product look on the shelf next to your competition? Is your current packaging effective? Relevant? Are you missing deadlines because your printer can’t reproduce the art as designed? Is your brand message consistent across platforms and channels? These are just a few areas that our insight and experience can help you meet your packaging goals,” Mr. Sanel noted.
“Creativity, innovation, speed-to-market and integrity are the cornerstones of our service,” Sanel stated. “Our clients count on us to maximize impact and minimize costs, and that’s what we deliver.”
