You may have a package and want to add a premium to it or make it into a bonus pack in order to attract more sales (¡°Get an extra 20% free!¡±)¡¦ but if that makes your package too tall or too wide then you will not have shelf space for your product. ´ç½ÅÀº ÇÒ ¼öÀÖ½À´Ï´Ù °Å±â¿¡ ÇÁ¸®¹Ì¾ö ÆÐŰÁö¸¦ Ãß°¡Çϰųª ¿µ¾÷À» À¯Ä¡Çϱâ À§Çؼ´Â ´õ ¸¹Àº º¸³Ê½º ÆÑÀ»·Î ¸¸µé ½ÍÁö ( "°¡Á®¿À±â Ãß°¡ 20 % ¹«·á!") ...ÇÏÁö¸¸ ±×¶§´Â ³Ê¹« ³ÐÀº °æ¿ì ۰¡ ³Ê¹« ¶Ç´Â ±ÍÇÏÀÇ ÆÐŰÁö¸¦ ¸¸µé¾î ±ÍÇÏÀÇ Á¦Ç°¿¡ ´ëÇÑ Áø¿ °ø°£À̾ø´Â °ÍÀÔ´Ï´Ù.

The point is that sometimes you can¡¯t ascertain what issue will stir the consumer into a frenzy about your packaging.

¡°Green¡± product packaging is in its infancy and there are some examples that aren¡¯t really ¡°green.¡± The bottom line is that it¡¯s going to be all about the consumer perception and how well your ¡°green¡± product packaging integrates with your brand.
