Design packaging that strikes a chord with your consumer

Eye tracking allows you to see how your product is viewed from the perspective of the consumer. Test and compare packaging design alternatives or assess how yours performs against your competitors’.

Overview

Test alternatives and validate decisions

Eye tracking lets you assess if key attributes are effectively communicated and measure other things like findability, brand recognition, shelf positioning, and visual appeal. This can be done in isolation, against your own alternatives, or in direct comparison with your competitors’ designs. No matter what phase of the design process you are in, eye tracking provides unbiased answers on what elements of your packaging work, and which need improvement so you can quickly and easily optimize your design.

Testimonial

  • Incorporating eye tracking into our flagship PACKMASTER tool is key to our proposition that places more emphasis on measuring performance rather than relying on asking people what they think. Eye tracking allows us to gain an extra layer of human understanding to better pinpoint potential weaknesses and help our clients optimize their packaging prior to launch.
