Unveils New Name - Gloss - Look
On January 1, 2010,
Dunn-Edwards unveiled brand new packaging, new names, and new gloss
levels for their premium paints and primers. Now all of
Dunn-Edwards’ premium interior latex paints are under one product
family name called SUPREMA® and the premium exterior latex paints
are called EVERSHIELD®. To better differentiate their premium
status, all SUPREMA and EVERSHIELD products were re-packaged in
metallic gold labels. In addition, the gloss levels of the SUPREMA
and EVERSHIELD paints were adjusted to show a well-defined
progression from Flat to Gloss to better align with accepted
industry standards set by the Master Painters Institute (MPI).
Meanwhile, Dunn-Edwards has also streamlined their primer names to
be more descriptive of the substrate they’re used for and the job
they perform. The very best primers are now distinguished by the
word “Premium” in their product name, ie: EZ-PRIME Premium,
ULTRA-GRIP Premium. They were also re-packaged in white labels with
matching metallic gold bands to signify how they complement the
SUPREMA and EVERSHIELD finishes.
These enhancements will aid customers in easily differentiating
between Dunn-Edwards’ various product lines. Positive feedback from
customers shows that these changes have made their lives easier and
are part of what makes Dunn-Edwards the #1 Choice of Painting
Professionals. Click
