Researchers formulated two hypotheses: there is no significant effect between product packaging and consumers’ purchasing decisions and there is no significant effect between product packaging and brand image. The hypotheses were tested with correlation and simple regression analysis and ANOVA through statistical package for social science (SPSS) and the following conclusions were drawn: that product packaging has strong effect on consumers’ purchasing decisions and product packaging also have positive effect on product brand image.
