Children's Preferences of Package Design
This research explores influences of package design on children’s preferences in three dimensions: shape (straight or rounded), figurativeness, and complexity. Analysis of data from 766 children 3-12 years of age reveals that, unlike prior findings on gender differences in adults’ preferences for straight or rounded shapes, children generally prefer rounded package shapes. Meanwhile, the results indicate that children prefer realistic, figurative package design and that children’s preferences for complex package shapes increase with age.
