Pretty Face Packaging Shapes Women Shoppers Choices
Industrial designer Ted Menten explains how his firm creates 3000 to 5000 packages a year with “pretty faces” to lure shoppers. He notes color, perceived fragrance, and tactile visuals drive appeal, with women more responsive to red and danger of overpromising. The process starts with a product profile and multiple tests to ensure packaging fits claims and target audience.
