“…In previous studies, the authors developed a numerical model of a human hand used to investigate the effect of physical dimensions and choice of grip on joint stresses to help understanding between physical effort, ability and discomfort. This previous work was supported by ethnographic investigations and led to recommendations for packaging design (Yoxall et al, 2013), which visually indicates how a product is different from others, and concentrates on a specific group of consumers for expected purchasing behavior (Chou & Wang, 2012). The current mass marketing method tries to absorbe a wide range of customers, which strategy can hardy succeed due to the existing fierce product competition, and it is due to the fact that a new generation of consumers may hesitate to make decision until their genuine requirements are proved to be met.…”

Packaging is an important instrument of commerce and trade in the world, it plays essential role in increasing sales and export and thus it maximizes profits generated in enterprises. Hence, the appropriate packaging for the producer generates necessary incentives for production, partly preserves them against zany opponents, and finally provides the customer with much more variety and choosing the right products. Packaging in fact, is a major contributor to the performance of customer relationship management. This survey determines five packaging factors influencing on export development including communications, infrastructure, awareness, design and technical extraction. Through the implementation of principal component analysis, the effective role of packaging components on exports is measured. Exploratory research model indicates that all five packing components were effective in export development of food industry.

Packaging accessibility is a significant problem for many older people. Whilst the majority of studies have focused on issues surrounding strength, work has shown that dexterity required to open a pack is also a major issue for many older people. Hence, the work undertaken here reports a quantitative study that aimed to analyse motion coordination patterns across digits 2–5 (index to little finger) during interactions with three of the most common types of packaging: plastic bottles, jars and crisps packets, and comparing those interactions with a common measure of dexterity, the Perdue Pegboard. Ten subjects (six male participants and four female participants) were examined whilst reaching forward to grasp and open a 300 ml plastic bottle and a 500 g jar. A 10‐camera optoelectronic motion capture system measured trajectories of 25 miniature reflective markers placed on the dorsal surface landmarks of the hand. Joint angular profiles for 12 involved flexion–extension movements were derived from the measured coordinates of surface markers. The results showed that finger correlations vary widely across the differing pack formats with the crisps having the lowest finger movement correlation and the jar having the highest. Speed and jerk metrics were also seen to vary across the various pack formats. However, finger correlations were seen to be more relevant to perceive dexterity of pack opening than finger speeds and jerk motions. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…Gofman et al, 38 Yiangkamolsing et al, 135 de la Fuente et al, 166 and Langley et al 167 The packaging design process should be structured to link between users' requirements and design parameters. Silva et al, 168 Yoxall et al, 169,172 Blakey et al, 170 and Chihara et al 171 Opening difficulties can be addressed either by introducing opening-aiding tools or applying design efforts.…”

User packaging interaction (UPI) has evolved in packaging research because of its importance to users, manufacturers, and designers. A great deal of work addressing problems and suggesting potential improvements has been directed toward UPI. However, this work is not easily accessible to researchers as it lacks a cohesive structure. This paper serves as a platform for UPI researchers by presenting previous work UPI in an organized structure based on stages of interaction. Over 100 articles were reviewed to identify the scope of research in this area and then categorized according to stages of interaction. During the review of more articles, these stages of interaction were modified to ensure that they reflected all the reviewed articles. The review process resulted in the enumeration of the following stages: at point of purchase, checking out, handling, opening, and disposal. The related articles in each category are presented and discussed, and potential future work is presented. The articles were further categorized according to the age and gender of users under test, and packaging and product types considered. The review process has revealed different issues in the current research structure of UPI including the comprehensibility of the conducted research and the distribution of the reviewed articles. On the basis of this review, a model is proposed for improving the UPI by quantitatively evaluating the package design and affordances provided at each interaction stage.
