A New Look for Luxilon
By David Henry on Feb 01, 2010 with Comments 1
Even though Luxilon has been (and still remains) the #1 string on the pro tour (and by #1, I mean the most used), its previous retail packaging had to rank near the bottom of the pack in terms of aesthetics. While other major string brands have highly-professional packaging, Luxilon’s packaging was just plain ugly. Until now, that is.
For 2010, Luxilon’s packaging received a major face-lift. Finally, the #1 string on tour has outstanding packaging to go along with its outstanding playability. Now, all aspects of the Luxilon brand scream of high-quality professionalism.
As seen above, Luxilon has three different packaging themes to go along with its three different families of string. (See related post “New Luxilon String: Adrenaline“.)
- The largest and most popular family is the Big Banger family of strings – based on Luxilon’s poly-ether-ether technology. All Big Banger strings have the new blue packaging shown above.
- The relatively new (a little over a year) M2 family of strings is based on Luxilon’s variable flex technology, or “Multi-Mono Technology and has the new yellow packaging shown above.
- The very new (just hitting the market) Adrenaline string – based on Liquid Crystalline Polymer Technology, is currently the only string in this “family”. Adrenaline has the new gray packaging shown above.
As Luxilon matures as a brand, it appears that their branding strategy is maturing as well. I love the new packaging and the added level of professionalism they’re adding to their brand. This new packaging combined with what I believe are the best playing polys on the market (particularly Big Banger Alu Power Rough) makes me even more of a die-hard Luxilon fan.
I just hope their prices don’t go up to cover the cost of the new packaging.
Thanks for checking in.
