Diamond Packaging Debuts its 2019 Corporate Calendar Featuring NFC Smart Tag Technology

Diamond's 2019 Calendar features cold foiling, ECG
offset printing, embossing, and NFC smart tags

Diamond Packaging today announced the debut of its 2019 corporate calendar, a popular promotional item given to customers and suppliers. It’s also the company’s first to feature NFC smart tag technology, which enables brands to connect directly with consumers.

The “Making Waves” calendar, which was conceptualized, planned, and produced by the entire Diamond team, originates from a beautiful, hand-drawn pencil drawing. The calendar features Extended Color Gamut (ECG) seven-color process printing, cold foiling, UV gloss spot coating, DiamondGlitter and DiamondReticulate specialty coatings, multi-level embossing, debossing, intricate die cutting, and NFC tagging.

“The calendar demonstrates Diamond’s cutting-edge approach to package design,” said Dennis Bacchetta, director of marketing of Diamond Packaging. “We set out to create a colorful, beautifully-decorated structural and ornamental piece — one that users will want to interact with all year long. We also wanted to showcase the type of decorative effects that can cost-effectively elevate our customers’ brands, including cold foiling and smart tagging.”

All of the components utilized recyclable paperboards, and were manufactured using 100% clean, renewable wind energy and produced in a Zero Waste to Landfill (ZWL) facility.
