Kontainer’s SSO and advanced user permissions provide peace of mind, ensuring that sensitive or high-value files are protected. At the same time, press or partners get smooth, frictionless access to what they need.

MORE THAN A FILE ARCHIVE—AN ACTIVE BRAND GUIDE

An accessible, dynamic brand universe

Everything from Ricola’s custom typefaces to color palettes, formatting presets, and product packaging assets lives in one place. The Kontainer DAM isn’t just a storage space—it’s a living brand guide and an extension of Ricola’s visual language.

Unlike a traditional PDF brand and style guide, the dynamic aspects of Kontainer allow Ricola always to present the current and up-to-date guide and assets.
