New packaging for organic mixes
The Espoma Co.
The Espoma Company has introduced new packaging for its organic plant enhancement products. The enhanced look will feature new colorful graphics as well as a "slide to close" feature that maximizes convenience for the consumer. The company also is making changes to formulas by using more granular ingredients, adding elemental sulfur to its Holly-tone product, and increasing the calcium in Tomato-tone. Bottom line: Style and substance team to create a more appealing product.
