Answer 1 : 
With  packaging, you will put a lot of energy into deciding on the shape, the  layout, the typeface and the colours, and often in that order. The  general public, however, will respond to it in a different order: the  first thing they will in fact register is its colour. On average a  consumer takes 15 seconds to make a purchasing decision in the  supermarket - not long enough to be affected by even the most seductive  copy, layout and typeface, unless the colour has attracted them  initially. If you have not got the colours absolutely right, if they are  not in tune with the product and what it represents in the mind of the  consumer, it will not matter how appealing the other elements in the  design mix are, your proposition is dead in the water and the consumer  will move on.  Therefore if you package your product in the right colours, people will  be attracted to it, and buy it. Unfortunately, 80% of new product  launches fail, and the colours of the packaging are often a major factor  in that failure. Yet when it happens, it often does not occur to  anybody that the problem might have been the colours. Even if the  thought does occur, having chosen the colours by a subjective process of  consensus in the first place, it is impossible to analyse what  precisely was wrong with them.

There are  certain points you need to remember: the information package, teh  nutritional value (if there is any), the proper mixing and balance of  colors and items/ graphics, and the overall impact or packaging of the  product.

Answer 4 : 
The  appearance of it has to be appealing, obviously.  That totally depends  on the product and the marketing strategy for the product.    Also take into account the shelf space and the shipping.  If the package  is too weak the product could be damaged in transit, if it is too  heavy, the extra materials will cost, and not as much product will fit  in boxes = higher ship cost.
Answer 5 : 
Depends on what  you class as packaging, I class into 2 fields:  1 : RETAIL packaging : Colourful and attractive packaging which entices  customer reaction to purchase. Informative and decorative to promote the  product(s)  2: PROTECTIVE packaging : Structurally superior packaging and most  protective. Least attractive and not designed to entice purchase.  Typically used to ship a product or products.  Retail packaging often needs protective packaging to send in the post.  You will need to define the sector you wish to use as each provokes very  different answers.  The main factor when a choice on how you package a product is PRICE -  Your budget will govern what design/materials are used for your  packaging.
Answer 6 :
