One such product feature — and a strategic one for some products is
packaging, which consists of all the activities of designing and
producing the container or wrapper for a product.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
The packaging lends charm to the product and reinforces the brand
name. If the packaging does not induce the consumer to pick the com-
modity’s brand in this situation, then all previous promotional efforts to
differentiate these brands are wasted. Thus, packaging is an aid to
advertising.
Functions of Packaging:
A package design is supposed to attract attention and convey an
easily identifiable image. It must tell consumers what the product is
and why they should buy it.
Advantages of Packaging:
Ultimately, a package may become a product’s differential advantage
or at least a significant part of it. Today, with its marketing significance
fully recognised, packaging is a major factor in the competition for
customers. Therefore, full responsibility and authority for packaging
should be with a firm’s marketing department.
Disadvantages of Packaging:
However, packaging creates the following problems:
1. Packaging exhausts natural resources.
4. Packaging is deceptive.
