Our improved pack testing solution, Optimize Pack, is now available. Starting January 1, 2023, it will become the preferred solution for pack testing and you will no longer be able to launch new projects on Zappi Pack Test. Optimize Pack will become your go-to solution instead. However, past studies of Zappi Pack will remain available as usual.
Zappi Pack Test is a screening solution that gives you a robust read on which of your products is the most likely to succeed in the market. One of the key takeaways you will receive from respondents is a color-coded chart that highlights specific areas of the product imagery that respondents clicked on.
Zappi Pack test is monadic, meaning that each of your ideas is evaluated by a separate group of respondents. This is the most reliable way to test products or packaging, as the respondents' reactions are not impacted by the context of your other ideas.
