1. First Impressions
   Packaging is often the first interaction consumers have with a product. For example, the vibrant packaging of Indian snacks like Haldiram’s attracts attention on shelves.
2. Brand Identity
   Unique packaging helps establish a brand’s identity. Amul’s iconic packaging with its mascot creates strong brand recognition.
3. Product Protection
   Effective packaging protects products during transportation and storage. For instance, Tetra Pak cartons used by brands like Tropicana ensure juice freshness.
4. Sustainability
   Eco-friendly packaging appeals to environmentally conscious consumers. Brands like Biome have gained popularity with their sustainable packaging solutions.
5. Information Delivery
   Packaging conveys essential product information. The detailed labeling on Patanjali products informs consumers about ingredients and benefits.
6. Differentiation
   Unique packaging can set a brand apart from competitors. The innovative packaging of Frooti, with its distinctive shape, stands out in the beverage market.
7. Convenience
   Packaging that enhances usability can drive sales. For example, ready-to-eat meals from brands like MTR come in easy-to-open pouches.
8. Emotional Connection
   Packaging can evoke emotions and nostalgia. The traditional design of Parle-G biscuits resonates with Indian consumers’ childhood memories.
9. Cultural Relevance
   Packaging that reflects local culture can enhance appeal. The festive packaging of Cadbury during Diwali connects with consumers’ celebrations.
