On a crowded shelf, buyers decide in seconds, and packaging that protects poorly, breaks labelling rules or looks generic can sink an otherwise good product. You start with the functions of packaging, common materials such as glass, plastics, paper and flexible pouches, shelf life and food safety considerations. Design and labelling sessions cover brand identity, colour and typography, nutritional information, ingredient and allergen declarations, date marking and barcodes. Market sessions then explore consumer behaviour, segmentation, competitor analysis and positioning for local and export markets.
Marketing strategy topics include pricing, distribution through supermarkets and wholesalers, trade promotions, social media and influencer marketing, and telling a compelling brand story. The final day turns to growth: costing packaging, working with printers and suppliers, preparing for retail listing and planning scale-up. Participants critique real products, sketch packaging concepts and draft a marketing plan for a product of their choice. Food processors, entrepreneurs, SME owners, agribusiness and cooperative staff, and marketing officers in food companies will find it practical. You leave able to present a product that is compliant, attractive and positioned to win repeat buyers.
This intensive training program provides participants with practical knowledge and modern approaches to food packaging, brand development, and product marketing. The course explores packaging innovation, branding strategies, market analysis, consumer engagement, and promotional techniques aimed at improving product competitiveness and business growth. Participants will gain hands-on experience in designing market-oriented packaging and implementing branding and marketing solutions tailored to the food industry.
Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from public sector institutions, private enterprises, development organizations, and regulated professional environments, examining how food packaging, branding, and marketing is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for effective food branding., interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders.
