Packaging And Its Importance In Vending

Packaging is the art of enclosing or protecting products before they are sent for distribution, storage, sale or use. Apart from making the product look attractive, packaging is done to protect the product, prevent from contamination, and create convenience during transport, security and most importantly as a marketing strategy. Whatever may be the reason, from business point of view packaging is done to enhance sales.

Besides the kind of vending machine that is used to vend products, what is more important is how is the product offered for sale? Product packing should be in such a way that a customer is persuaded to purchase it. Packaging enhances the beauty of the product. With customers giving more priority to packaging, manufacturers are spending equal amounts on packaging as is paid for maintaining the quality of the product.

Modern customers are perfectionists and they want best quality in almost everything. Due to increased craze towards vending machines by both customers and operators, products offered for sale are also being attractively packed.

How packaging helps in attracting more customers?

Following points can help us understand how packaging helps in attracting more customers:

• Customers tend to judge a product by its looks.
• Sometimes attractive packaging urges customer to try the product.
• Packaging acts as a shield and protects product from contamination.
• Packaging highlights the features of the product

Apart from this, packaging is one of the key marketing strategies. The significance of packaging in increasing sales of a product has been realised in vending machines. Packaging makes the product easily noticeable since customers cannot handle the product placed inside a vending machine before it is purchased.

With introduction of glass front vending machine, attractive packaging has become more crucial. As customers can see the product through the glass front, they gather all the essential information related to the product before making a purchase. Not only this attractive packing grabs the attention of buyers easily and arouses an interest to try the product. In case the product is damaged or does not have a clear print on it, then it can damage the reputation of the operator and ultimately discourage the customer from making a purchase.
