Passage Two

Packaging is an important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate

someone to buy a product. For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that

comes in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture

than in the breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a

package, or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy products or to ask

their parents for them.

Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold

in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in a plain container

might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because

they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of

the product.

The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “Economy Size”

printed on it. This suggests that the large size has the most product for the least money. But

that is not always true. To find out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price

of the basic unit.

The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing

for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and

pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.
