ORLANDO, Fla. (May 2025) — In an increasingly crowded marketplace, beverage brands are searching for fresh ways to stand out, build loyalty, and connect emotionally with consumers. Virtual Wax, the newest innovation from TapTunes, Inc., delivers just that — a digital record player that launches branded music or messaging with a single QR code scan.

Whether it’s on a bottle, can, carton, or coaster, Virtual Wax adds a fun, on-trend layer of engagement between the scan and the screen, transforming packaging into a share-worthy moment. Once scanned, any smartphone becomes a virtual turntable, spinning custom music or voice content that creates instant nostalgia, emotional connection, and unforgettable brand recall.

“The idea was to combine the universal appeal of music with the accessibility of mobile tech,” says Gino Gavoni, CEO of TapTunes. “Beverage brands can now offer a fully immersive brand moment — right from the label.”

Why Beverage Brands Love Virtual Wax:

  • Boosts Shelf Impact: Add audio engagement without changing your packaging specs
  • Drives Brand Loyalty: Music creates memorable emotional connections
  • Perfect for Promotions: Limited releases, seasonal campaigns, collabs, and more
  • Trackable Engagement: Scan data, usage reports, and CRM-friendly exports
  • Cost-Effective: Just pennies per scan — no app download required
  • Proudly Made in the USA: No tariffs, delays, or compliance headaches

Use Virtual Wax For:

  • Craft beer, spirits, soda, and energy drink releases
  • QR neck tags, label activations, and promotional coasters
  • In-store sampling, influencer kits, or launch campaigns
  • Artist collaborations or brand anthem rollouts

Every campaign includes a dedicated dashboard where you can upload audio, update links on the fly, and track every interaction in real time — turning your beverage into a media channel that consumers take with them.

Take it for a spin!
