TESTING PACKAGING

Featured study

Testing packaging

Taste matters, but packaging plays a huge role in choosing products. Measure the impact of packaging design before it hits the shelves.

Procedure

From a bite to a business decision.

A four-step methodology that captures the unfiltered consumer response and translates it into actionable insight for category, marketing and product teams.

1

Capture

Brain, declarative and behavioural data are recorded while shoppers interact with products — either at the packaging and labeling level, or by actually smelling and tasting them. However, brain data is just the added value: our software can also run classic survey and behavioural questions.

2

Decode

Our proprietary models translate raw neural signals into clear emotional and cognitive metrics — how much people like the products, how familiar they are implicitly perceived, and how engaging they are. This is then combined with classic survey and behavioural questions to form a complete picture. Statistical significance included.

3

Understand

All collected data becomes insights, easily explained in an automated report. You can also use our AI interface to chat with your data, compare across projects, and export into your own analytics. Now you have the full picture — and know what people really felt during the product experience, with hard, scientifically accurate data.

4

Decide

Once you have a complete, clear assessment of shoppers' preference, you can plug that signal into many of your strategic processes — from new formulations to supplier selection, including choices on packaging, ingredients lists, claims and, of course, the launch of new products.
