In October, UPM Raflatac interviewed Dr. Andrew Hurley about packaging in the food industry. UPM created a white paper to detail the in-depth interview, “Unseen is Unsold.” Our blog post features a few of the key points from the discussion with Dr. Hurley.
Zero Moment of Truth
More than one in two shoppers believe it is important to see the product in its packaging before purchasing. Clear packaging is a way to accommodate consumers’ need to view and evaluate packaging. Packaging and products must work together to convey the right message to consumers. Package InSight and Clemson studies around the impact of clear packaging have continually shown that products that are “Unseen are Unsold.”
“Over 68% of products aren’t even looked at, so that fight for the first moment of recognition is critically important.”
How Clear Labels Can Help
Clear labels give brands and products the opportunities to feed off of consumer trends in seeing the products before they buy them. Clear labels give you the opportunity to change shapes, colors, etc. in your packaging. Past studies on clamshell clear packaging vs. paperboard boxes has show a longer fixation duration on clear packaging leading to more impulse buys.
