Magister Debuts New Product Packaging
The Eggsercizer Resistive Hand Exerciser by Magister Corp, Chattanooga, Tenn, is now being packaged in a clear poly bag with a four-color, multilingual header card. The new packaging allows the consumer to actually squeeze the Eggsercizer to test its resistance before making a purchase.
“Because the feel is such an integral part of the product, we decided to switch to packaging that invites the consumer to squeeze the Eggsercizer before buying,” said David Maley, president of Magister. “Testing the resistance level, getting the feel of how the Eggsercizer fits in the palm of your hand … that’s important to the consumer.”
Part of the new packaging is the multilingual header card, which makes international distribution of the Eggsercizer simpler. Product resistances are listed in seven languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Swedish, and Norwegian.
