Following a review of submissions from around the world, NIQ’s Pack & Design experts evaluated entries against key packaging principles and the role packaging plays throughout the shopper journey. NIQ’s proprietary Retail Measurement Services (RMS) data was used to identify brands that achieved measurable sales growth following the launch of their updated package designs.

While this year’s winning redesigns spanned categories ranging from beverages and household products to frozen foods and snacks, they shared a common objective: making the shopper journey easier. Through stronger shelf visibility, clearer information hierarchy, simplified communication, and more distinctive branding, each redesign helped shoppers notice, understand and choose products with less effort.

NIQ’s Pack & Design Solutions practice helps manufacturers identify, evaluate and optimize packaging that drives shopper engagement and business performance. By combining neuroscience-based methods, including Real System 1 (EEG) research, with behavioral and survey-based approaches, NIQ provides actionable insights that help brands validate packaging concepts and make more confident design decisions.
