NNZ research: 'Consumer preferences apple packaging'

Packaging multinational NNZ has developed a unique packaging for apples. The design takes the form of a corrugated cardboard tray consisting of two or four identical compartments. Each of the compartments can contain one apple and the tray as a whole is built in such a way that the apples are optimally protected against the damage to which they are especially prone. A second advantage of this packaging concept is the printing surface which is ideal for branding and marketing purposes.

Consumer insight research has shown that the new tray has a favourable effect on consumer appreciation. This applies both to the product (apple) and the product category (fruit). This study has shown that the design – convenient and attractive – can stimulate impulse buying.

The product is commercialized for Dole in Saudi Arabia for the kids apple segment.
