SCENT SAMPLING TECHNOLOGIES

MICRO-ENCAPSULATED FRAGRANCE BASED SAMPLING PRODUCTS

Scentisphere specializes in the microencapsulation of fragrance oils. In simple terms this is a process of converting fragrance oil into microscopic spheres that are then encased in a hardened shell. These microspheres are then mixed into printable coatings and varnishes. Once applied to a printed surface the capsules will release scent when a physical force such as scratching, rubbing, or lifting a flap is applied.  

The benefits of this technology are…

-  Excellent scent rendition 

- The scent is stable for many years until activated

-  The most economical and versatile scent sampling solution

The products listed below utilize micro-encapsulated scent technology. More information about micro encapsulated scent coating can be found on the SCENT COATINGS PAGE.

 

IntenScent™ Fragrance Testers

IntenScent Fragrance Testers are small, printed blotter cards that can be die cut in almost any shape or size. They are designed to be a cost effective and sustainable alternative to costly fragrance tester bottles for the prestige market. IntenScent cards are saturated with a concentrated Rub’nSmell AQ coating providing high quality scent renditions similar to traditional scent strips. Dispensed or handed out in- store, IntenScent is a simple, high quality and sustainable fragrance testing solution.

Rub’nSmell® Fragrance Handouts

Rub’nSmell handouts are the most economical, versatile, and sustainable scent sampling solution. Printed on high-speed printing presses, Rub’nSmell handouts are the ideal scent sampling solution for mass and masstige retail outlets. Since they can be printed in any color and die cut using almost any paper stock, there is no limit to branding and customization possible.  And for sustainability, they can be produced using soy inks, certified FSC paper, or paper made with recycled content.

 

Snap’nBurst® Fragrance Samples

These are the traditional magazine insert and blow-in fragrance samplers where a flap is lifted, and scent is released. However, unlike other scent strip producers, we can provide turnkey finished product, or just the scent slurry coating enabling the customer to reduce costs by buying the paper and printing directly. 

ExpreScent™ Pull-Tab Samples

ExpreScent is an exclusive, interactive fragrance tester that releases scent when the tab is pulled from the base. They can be printed and die-cut into the shape of a bottle or package offering distinctive branding opportunities. Perfect for in-store handouts, special events, and e-comm insert.
