Companies are now also focusing equal Weightage on presentation and packaging of products. A consumer's eye is capable of providing valuable information about how a package design is perceived on a store shelf versus its competitors. This study aims to investigate the role of various packaging tactics used by the companies to lure the customers. In this research, researchers try to identify the effect of various packaging elements (like packaging material, colour, design of wrapper, innovation etc.) on consumer buying behaviour. A questionnaire is developed with the help of a five point liker scale. Survey of 150 respondents has been done in Ahmedabad city. Structural Equation Modelling is used to identify the effect of various independent variables on dependent variables.
