How Packaging Testing works

Upload up to 10 package concepts (PNG or JPG). Our guided setup helps you build a study using proven monadic methodology in minutes. Add your own custom questions before and after the packaging review to get more in-depth feedback.
Get rich consumer feedback in as little as 1 hour
You can survey your own contacts, or reach our global panel of 335M+ respondents. Choose your audience size and targeting criteria, and only pay for the responses you need. No subscription, no long-term commitment.
Instantly spot top-performing package concepts
As responses come in, the Packaging Testing solution automatically generates scorecards, statistical significance testing, AI-powered insights, and exportable reports, so you can make the call with confidence.
Monadic testing methodology
Packaging Testing uses monadic testing, an industry-proven research method that shows each respondent one package concept at a time. That means people react to each concept on its own merits, without comparison bias.
Eliminate bias
Respondents see a single packaging design in isolation so their feedback isn't skewed by comparisons.
Capture a clearer signal
Capture a clearer signal: Measure how each option performs across attributes like purchase intent, quality, or visual appeal.
