AR packaging turns a physical product box into an interactive surface: a scan reveals video, 3D demos, or limited-edition reveals anchored to the artwork.

AR Packaging across the funnel

Pick a single product and a 30-second product video as the first test. Launch, read analytics, iterate.

Ideas you can steal

  • Looping product videos on the pack
  • A spinning 3D model of the item inside
  • How-to walkthroughs and recipes
  • Tappable hotspots that link to checkout

A closer look for consumer brands

The overlay is where the brand lives: With image tracking the content sticks to the printed artwork and moves with it — a video, a 3D model, a reveal, or a checkout hotspot.

Make it your own

Pick one idea above, ship it as a four-week pilot, and let the analytics tell you where to invest next.

Frequently asked questions

How does AR packaging work?+

The printed artwork is trained as an image target; when a shopper scans it, the overlay (video, 3D, or image) anchors to the pack and plays in their browser.

Do I need to reprint packaging for each campaign?+

No. The same target can be re-skinned with a new overlay from the dashboard without reprinting.

Can AR packaging link to purchase?+

Yes — tappable hotspots can deep-link to checkout, a landing page, or a promotion.
