TapTunes, Inc. Launches Virtual Wax — A Branded Music Experience for Beverage Packaging

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.”
