Packaging appearance is important in evoking consumer impressions. No study has yet explored how two prominent packaging attributes, shape and material, affect the consumers’ impressions and their expectations in the case of coffee products. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate whether the packaging shape has an impact on the taste intensity expected by the consumer, and whether packaging materials influence the expected coffee quality. In an online experiment, 115 participants evaluated different packaging samples. They rated the expected taste intensity for packaging samples that varied in shape complexity (i.e., cylindrical, rounded-angular, hexagonal and multifaceted). They also rated the expected coffee quality for packaging samples that varied in material (i.e., plastic, aluminium, glass and metal). The results showed that the packaging with a higher degree of shape complexity was associated with a higher taste intensity. Furthermore, we found a negative effect of glass on the expectation of product quality. The findings could be applied in product packaging design which aims to match the expected and actual characteristics of the product.

Purpose – Although the increase in point-of-purchase decisions heightens the communication potential of food product packaging, empirical research on understanding how visual packaging affects consumers' subsequent product and brand evaluations and perceptions is scant. This study seeks to develop a theoretical model to show the effects of consumer attitudes toward visual food packaging on perceived product quality, product value, and brand preference. Design/methodology/approach – A self-administered questionnaire developed from the literature was conducted, and 315 undergraduate students participated in the study. Findings – The empirical results show that attitudes toward visual packaging directly influence consumer-perceived food product quality and brand preference. Perceived food product quality also directly and indirectly (through product value) affects brand preference. Originality/value – This paper offers directions for understanding the effects of visual packaging on positive consumer product and brand evaluations. Based on the study findings, food firms should emphasize the visual packaging design factors such as color, typeface, logo, graphics, and size to form consumers' positive perceptions and brand preference.

Processed foods such as kemplang crackers, various chips, pempek etc. are commodity products produced by Entrepreneurs assisted by Korkot OKI, South Sumatra Province. The training will include training on introducing the concept of packaging, benefits of packaging, packaging design and making product packaging. This training is important because the processed food (kemplang, rengginang, chips, pempek) that is produced will certainly have added value if it is properly packaged. This packaging aims to maintain product quality, facilitate product distribution, and attract consumer attention. In implementing this packaging, all business participants do not have adequate packaging and do not have a product brand, so they will further provide assistance to design the training participants' brands and product packaging.

Small and Medium Industries (SMIs) in the face of competition have obstacles that are the ability of designing the brand and good packaging. The Directorate General of IKMA provides support for industry players, especially SMIs, to improve the quality of their product packaging through the Brand Design and Packaging Assistance Program for small and medium industries. The purpose of this study is to describe how the program can run in Magelang City, with the limitation of the problems, that are: (1) Procedures for submitting and distributing packages and Brand Design assistance programs as a form of implementing program distribution; and (2) Sustainability after channeling the program in achieving its objectives, specifically improving product quality. The results of this study are from the 24 SMIs, 88% have used a new packaging design and 67% have experienced market expansion. On the other hand, 13% have not used a new design and 33% have not yet experienced market expansion. Through recognition from SMIs who were fortunate to get assistance in the form of physical packaging namely Cheese Stick products with the RAKEDAM Brand, the physical packaging received through the program has characteristics that are able to improve the quality of product.

Product packaging design is often produced through the practical application of tacit knowledge, rule of thumb and professional connoisseurship. Stakeholders are becoming increasingly demanding that design practitioners provide clarity of reasoning and accountability for their design proposals. Therefore, a better framework for the design of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) is required. This paper proposes a comprehensive taxonomy of ‘design considerations’ to assist the development of low involvement FMCG packaging and aid in rationale communication for design solutions. 302 academic sources were reviewed, inductive content analysis performed to code topics and output validation with academic and industry experts (n=9) through a modified-Delphi card sorting method. The research provides movement towards a comprehensive framework and common dialogue between stakeholders, practitioners and managers to assist in more effectively communicating the value that design can offer to FMCGs. The constructed taxonomy provides a set of 156 ‘design considerations’ to support in objective and informed design decision-making.

The main reason for the use of returnable material, or recycled alloys, is a cost reduction while maintaining the final properties of the casting. The casting resulting quality is directly related to the correct ratio of commercial grade alloy and alloy made by remelting the returnable material in the batch. The casting quality is also affected by the purity of the secondary raw materials used, the shape complexity and the use of the casting itself. The presented article focuses on the effect of increasing the returnable material content in the batch on the hot tearing susceptibility of AlSi9Cu3 alloy. Hot tears are a complex phenomenon that combines metallurgical and thermo-mechanical interactions of the cast metal. Hot tearing susceptibility was evaluated on the basis of quantitative (HTS — hot tearing susceptibility index) and qualitative evaluation. The negative effect of returnable material in the batch was already manifested at a 20% content in the batch. The critical proportion of the returnable alloy in the batch can be stated as 50%. The alloy with a 50% returnable material content manifested insufficient results of the HTS index and qualitative evaluation, which means increased sensitivity to tearing. The negative effect of returnable material and the increased sensitivity were also confirmed in the evaluation of the fracture surface and hot tear profile. The microstructure of alloys with 50% and higher proportion of returnable material was characterized by a higher amount of iron phases (mainly Al5FeSi), whose sharp ends acted as critical regions of hot tearing and subsequent hot tear propagation, which had a major impact on the increase in hot tearing susceptibility.

Abstract Since the beginning of the 20th century, logistics has undergone a huge technological development, which has, however, resulted in many negative effects as well. The industry, particularly in the packaging industry has been a massive waste producer, although recently it has forced the use of new materials and it started to focus on environmentally friendly technologies. During the transportation of finished and semi-finished Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) sensitive products, the product packaging system has a vital role. These kind of packaging materials must be suitable to both logistic (protection against mechanical and environmental stresses) and special ESD protection requirements. During the transportation of printed-circuit electronic products, ESD defense is then of primary significance. However there is a huge disadvantage for the use of various shield bags. Namely, this kind of associated packaging is particularly pollutant, it causes a lot of inconvenience in the form of waste. In order to rule out these materials from the packaging system, new innovative solutions have to be found. The investigated TPS (thermoplastic starch biodegradable foam) is subjected to a validation, a long process to certify that this material unites properties of two types of packaging materials at the same time. On the one hand, this packaging foam has to meet the requirements product defense. On the other hand, the material must be anti-static under the logistic stress effects. In case it is found suitable, it can be an alternative of the conventional materials. In this article, we investigate the ESD characteristic of TPS foam. As this material sensitive for environmental parameters during transportation, we make the relevant Surface Resistance (Rs) tests on different temperature and humidity conditions. Based on result, the decision of the application can be done, as an ESD packaging material.
