The first part of the SURPRISE at the shelf.
It's the WOW that excites the category and catches the consumer's eye calling for them to pick the pack up off the shelf and engage with it.

open the pack making them go “WOW!”

spend on average 27 seconds making a

consumers.”

At Jam&Co we review the 3 key elements of a product on shelf through the lens of what we have determined are the 5 Jam’s of disruptive packaging design™.
![Page 34: Creating surprise packaging that sells](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a9c5760da3da068b71f1/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
The 5 Jam’s of disruptive packaging design™.1. BOLD: In our visually saturated marketplace your brand needs to stand. The packaging design must grab and hold the consumer’s attention. However, there’s a big difference between boldness and recklessness.
![Page 35: Creating surprise packaging that sells](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a9c5760da3da068b71f1/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
The 5 Jam’s of disruptive packaging design™.
2. HONEST: The only truly defend-able brand position is an authentic one. Potential customers can spot a phony “over promising” product from a mile away. Authenticity speaks volumes. Brands that tell a genuine, honest story resonate with people. People believe in honest brands. The packaging design needs to call out to HONESTY!
![Page 36: Creating surprise packaging that sells](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a9c5760da3da068b71f1/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

It’s about making choices today that balance the 3 p’s people, profit, and planet…. to create a greener future.

37
The 5 Jam’s of disruptive packaging design™.
4. CLEAR: What is your essence? What makes you different from other brands? If you look at some of the most iconic brands on the globe, they send a clear message about what makes them unique. Once you decide what makes you different, your entire brand and package design must be focused around this.
![Page 38: Creating surprise packaging that sells](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a9c5760da3da068b71f1/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

5. LOVED: Emotional connection is a powerful way to link the heart of your target market with the soul of your brand. This connection is the degree to which your customers care about your brand beyond its rational attributes. It is more psychological than logical and more unconscious than conscious.

Branding Strategy Insider author Derrick Daye :
“Strategic & informed package design is a must,
which can only be accomplished through a carefully engineered
sequence of color, shapes, symbols &
words.”
![Page 42: Creating surprise packaging that sells](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a9c5760da3da068b71f1/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
42
This means that the packaging hierarchy needs to be designed with the view of :1) drawing the targeted consumer in with an
emotional connection 2) creating a distinct hierarchy and 3) tempting interaction.
![Page 43: Creating surprise packaging that sells](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a9c5760da3da068b71f1/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
43
Considering your product packaging, how does your products hierarchy stack up? (At the very least against your competitors on shelf)
![Page 44: Creating surprise packaging that sells](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a9c5760da3da068b71f1/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Grabbing competitive advantage at the shelf
There is a key element that will have you stand out above all else…(BTW: most
marketers are too risk avers & most often don't have the budget) to use it to crush the
competition on shelf...
![Page 45: Creating surprise packaging that sells](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a9c5760da3da068b71f1/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
45
...This element when done well has the
potential to crush it and completely
disrupt the shelf.
![Page 46: Creating surprise packaging that sells](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a9c5760da3da068b71f1/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

…..FORM
![Page 47: Creating surprise packaging that sells](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a9c5760da3da068b71f1/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
47
Product packaging form has two primary purposes:
1. To contain and protect the food or beverage (form functionality)
2. To catch a consumer’s eye on the shelf. (form differentiation)
![Page 48: Creating surprise packaging that sells](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a9c5760da3da068b71f1/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
48
Form disruption power…
Imagine you are walking down the aisle looking for tissues and you saw a row of Kleenex Tissues that presented like the image below, what would you do? Would you stop and look? Of course you would. That’s using the power of form to grab consumer attention.
![Page 49: Creating surprise packaging that sells](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a9c5760da3da068b71f1/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

Premium Packs = Premium Prices
More and more manufacturers are beginning to use premium packaging as part of a product’s value positioning and a proven way to deliver incremental sales for their brand.
![Page 50: Creating surprise packaging that sells](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a9c5760da3da068b71f1/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

“According to Deloitte’s 2015 American Pantry Study,
today’s consumers are willing to pay
more for products with the right attributes,
including innovations and improvements,
customization and convenience.”
Tetra Pac’s VP of Communications, Carla Fantoni
![Page 51: Creating surprise packaging that sells](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a9c5760da3da068b71f1/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
51
Premiumising your pack adds value.
Depending on the social or financial value a product pack delivers, in many instances manufacturers are even be able to increase the price for the same product.
![Page 52: Creating surprise packaging that sells](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a9c5760da3da068b71f1/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
52
With a premium pack, brands can have consumers willingly pay extra simply because they "premiumised" their packs.
![Page 53: Creating surprise packaging that sells](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a9c5760da3da068b71f1/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
53
NOTE: As more & more manufacturers adopt this strategy to improve their top lines, still others will jump on the premium packaging bandwagon. Soon “premium” will soon become a consumer expectation.
For the moment “premium” is still an opportunity to carve out additional revenue.
![Page 54: Creating surprise packaging that sells](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a9c5760da3da068b71f1/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
54
Designing form isn't simply about crazy or zany forms designed to jump out at the consumer from the shelf. Rather they should be purposely considered that adds value and convenience to the consumer in the form of convenience which inherently add value to the user experience.
Form functionality

“Attributes like functionality, shape &
graphic design have the ability to make a package appear premium in the eyes of the consumer.
Consumers desire package designs that are
more adapted to their needs than ever before”
Tetra Pac’s VP of Communications, Carla Fantoni
![Page 56: Creating surprise packaging that sells](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a9c5760da3da068b71f1/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
56
Examples of packaging form which are seen as value adds. • Reseal-able pouches• car cup holder-sized packages • mini packs
These forms contribute to the consumers perception of "premium".
Think about the Toblerone iconic pack shape cues brand personality and suggests premium.
The form connects on a sensorial level and appeals to the consumers multiple senses.
![Page 57: Creating surprise packaging that sells](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9a9c5760da3da068b71f1/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)

Awesome form design has the tendency to imbue the product inside with a sense of premiumised mystique.
