    359 - The most interesting way AI is disrupting packaging design with Andy Kurtts from Buttermilk Creative

    Andy Kurtts, founder of Buttermilk Creative, explains how 'agentic shoppers'—AI tools that autonomously select products based on user intent—are disrupting packaging design by requiring brands to optimize copy and visual claims across all packaging panels. He demonstrates a live test using Google Gemini, showing how AI interprets product data from physical packaging OCR and retailer listings to make recommendations. Kurtts advises brands to ensure consistency between their physical packaging, e-commerce descriptions, and retailer dashboards to avoid being filtered out by vision models that scan thumbnails and text for specific keywords like 'seed oil free.'

She details the company's pivot to in-house production developed with RIT engineers, which allowed JECA to control quality and offer short turns that retailers like Whole Foods and Wegmans prefer. Dolnick also discusses the iterative packaging journey, moving from plain film to digital printing and finally to ePac pouches, while emphasizing the importance of customer discovery at UB Cultivator to identify the true buyer profile.
