Packaging as a modern instrument of marketing communication can influence consumers' purchase behavior and determine their adherence to certain products. The aim of the research is to determine which elements of product packaging are the most significant in the context of consumer purchasing decisions. At the beginning of August 2020, through an electronic survey questionnaire, empirical research that included 99 respondents was conducted, with the aim of examining the significance of packaging elements from the aspect of the consumer who decides on buying chocolate. An analysis of the content of available foreign and national literature, descriptive method, comparative method, and analysis and synthesis technique, were used for the research purposes. Analysis of the collected data was conducted through the statistical software IBM SPSS Statistics 25.0, which was used for descriptive statistics on data on socio-economic characteristics of respondents, and data on the habits and attitudes of respondents about the purchase; and through the SmartPLS 3.0 software, which was used as a graphical approach to structural equation modeling by the partial least squares technique based on variance (PLS-SEM), in order to analyze the respondents' answers regarding the importance of visual and informational (verbal) elements of packaging. The result of the research is the confirmed assumption that, during the purchase decision making, consumer choice is more influenced by visual than informational (verbal) elements of product packaging.
