Optimising sales through Packaging Research
As a brand owner, you know that packaging design and communications are your most powerful marketing tools. Packaging is particularly important at the point of purchase (POP) and is sometimes described as the ‘Moment of Truth’ – where Shelf Visibility and product recognition become the key drivers for brand success.
To us, it’s about seeing through the eyes of the shopper. Therefore using the latest packaging research tools to help you understand how your customers interact with your packaging, how they perceive its visuals, its messaging and its functionality. It’s about digging deep to produce real insight that reveals clear opportunities to refine communications, design and labelling.
If you are at the early stages of the product development process then check out our concept development and testing services as these can also incorporate packaging research elements.
At Vision One, we like to break new ground and provide a deeper level of insight for our clients. That’s why we developed our own, market-leading packaging testing tool PackProbe. It’s an emotion-based packaging evaluation methodology with System 1 thinking. This innovative approach to packaging testing mimics real-time shopping experiences by asking people to make a selection from an interactive virtual shelf - under time-pressure conditions.
PackProbe explores how people feel and how they respond to your pack. Crucially, it gives you the insight you need to spot areas of weakness so you can make improvements - before launch. We also incorporate eye tracking to evaluate the visual impact and attention-grabbing qualities of your packaging design (in isolation and compared to competitor packs).

Designed for brand owners and packaging design agencies, our range of agile pack development and testing services caters for both ongoing projects and quick turnaround, cost-effective approaches.
