Packaging is a structure designed to contain a commercial product for example to make it easier and safer to transport, to protect the product against contamination or loss. Consumer behavior is the study of individuals, groups or organizations and the process they use to select, secure, use and dispose of products, services, experiences or ideas to satisfy needs and the impact that these processes have on the consumer and society (Hawkins, Best, and Coney, 2001, p.7). Therefore, it is recommended for all manufacturing organizations to consider packaging as a sole source of consumer’s attention towards their products and more so these organizations need to evaluate packaging design and labelling for their effectiveness in the communication effort because it is also important to notice that not all consumers evaluate the packaging in the same way
