PRINCIPLES OF MEASUREHENT OF
VISUAL STANDOUT IN PACK DESIGN
REPORT NO. RD.203g RESTRICTED
SUMMARY
The increasing imposition of advertising restricition on the
tobacco industry inevitably results in the visual impact of
the cigarette pack itself assuming more importance as a means
of attracting consumer attention to the product. Whilst
acknowledging that the aesthetic aspect of pack design must
still be regarded as the principal foundation for the develop-
ment of brand imagery, this report makes the case for accompany-
ing such a concern with a routine screening for visual impact
during either new pack design exercises, the screening of
series of pack variants on a theme, or modifications/extensions
of established brand pack design. It is emphasised that visual
impact measurement should be taken to complement rather than
supplant the aesthetic aspect of pack design.
This report highlights the methodological issues involved in
using a tachistoscope for measurement of visual prominence.
It is stressed that the main application of this technique is
to measure the relative visual prominence of the elements
within an individua| pack. It is not intended that the technique
be used to provide reliable info~ation with respect to the
re]ative overall visual impact of one cigarette pack over and

above another. (This issue is currently the subject of a
research project which will receive separate reporting). It
is anticipated that this technique is more useful in the early
stages of pack development to screen between a number of altern-
atives, taking into account factors such as the readability of
brand name or the standout of the company Crest.
Five experiments are described. In the first two the experim-
ental procedure involved in tachistoscopic testing is specified.
The need to control, in this type of study, factors such as
level of illumination is highlighted. In order to conduct
these first two experiments, seven packs were selected from
the U.K. market. The findings from the experiments are
discussed with reference to establishing guidelines for
designing packs with a view to achieving maximum visual impact
of their constituent elements. However, it is emphasised
that no suggestion is made that the packs used in the test
should be changed in any way as they were launched with the
benefit of advertising support.
As stressed previously, it is anticipated that the main appli-
cation of the technique will be in the development of pack
designs. In a typical development situation, several design
alternatives may be available all of which have the same
brand name but the style of presentation is varied between
them. Thus, the third experiment outlined in the report
describes the methodology involved in testing sets of packs
all with the same brand name. This involves the use of
matched groups of subjects selected on criteria specific to
this type of task. This approach avoids the possibility of
any biasing influence of learning effects on performance.
Swiss packs are used to demonstrate the method.
Although it is not Intended that this technique is used to make
comparisons between packs concerning their overall level of
visual impact, it may he desired to know, for example, how the

company crest stands out on development packs relative to
competition/exlsting packs on the market. In this example it
is necessary to know whether or not the perceptual results
will be biased by familiarity effects. Experiment Four des-
cribes a cross cultural study comparing results between
Finland and the U.K. It was a complete cross-over design
where both Finnish and U.K. subjects were tested on both
Finnish and U.K. packs. It was concluded that, apart from
readability of the brand name, familiarity did not affect
the relative ordering of emergent pack detailing. The results
also suggested that, within the westernised context, if
readability of brand name is of prime concern then it is
possible to test the packs in another market without pre-
judicing the results.
Experiment five considers the relationship of visual promin-
ence of pack design elements to consumer recall of those
elements concluding that a strong positive relationship exists
between these two factors. This finding indicates that as
well as attracting attention to themselves, visually impacting
design elements are more likely to be consolidated into the
memory process.
The style of tachistoscopic testing reported here represents
a highly time/cost effective addition to the process of pack
development. It allows the assurance that the various symbol-
ism carried by the pack is achieving the desired effect in
terms of impact. This is no way detracts from the principal
importance of the aesthetic aspect of pack design to support
brand imagery.

I. INTRODUCTION
The tobacco industry is increasingly faced with the problem of
inability to market products using traditional 'above-line'
means. Restrictions on advertising, brought about as an indirect
legistlative consequence of the smoking and health debate, mean
that many of the accepted routes of communicating with the consumer
have been severed. The extent of the problem varies from one
market to another. At the present time the restrictions in most
markets are only partial. In these markets, restrictions in comm-
unicating through one medium can be partially compensated for by
extra expenditure in another. However, in those markets where
there is a total ban on advertising of tobacco products {e.g.
Finland and Singapore) legislatively viable methods of communication
must be developed in order to sustain dialogue with the consumer.
These developments achieve even greater significance in the context
of the present day market scenario where the increase in novel
product propositions make adequate con=nunication with the consumer
probably more important than it has ever been. Advertising
restrictions have, in many markets, coincided with attempts on
behalf of the tobacco industry to meet the demands of the
increasing low delivery sector. Another example is where
products such as low sidestream cigarettes are required to be
launched without the advantage of adequate media to describe
the hitherto unfamiliar technical developments and their
associated product benefits.
Given the above points the consequences of an advertising ban
require fullest consideration. Finland represents a good example
of an advertising ban market where the ban was introduced in
successive stages. Initially, voluntary industry agreements
on advertising restrictions before the tobacco law included
cinema {1969), youth's magazines (1969), direct mail (196g),
television (1971), and a ban on advertising of new brands
(1977). These were the precursors leading up to a total ban
on advertising and consumer oriented promotions which took
place from 1978. Many other contemporary markets are now

receiving similar warning signals. It is during this period
that the use of other media as a means of communicating the
product should be maximised to its full potential. In particular,
the cigarette pack itself assumes great importance since it is
likely to be one of the last remaining means of communicating
with the consumer in an advertising ban market.
Historically, cigarette pack design has assumed a great deal of
importance in the marketing process. This is because brand
imagery is salient in the mind of the consumer. Certain consumer
segments demand products which portray certain types of imagery.
Much of the imagery has traditionally been developed through
advertising. However, it has been understood that this imagery
must be carried right through to the brand. The cigarette
itself offers limited opportunity for conveying brand imagery
although longer length, king size (latterly luxury length) and
gold bands are examples of opportunities that have been taken.
The main focus of attention, therefore, has been on the pack
which carries the product. This has been achieved to such an
extent that any pack designer understands intuitively that
there are bounds which he can not break if he wants to convey
certain messages. For example, in the U.K. market it is
established in the minds of consumers that green is associated
with menthol. This is a very powerful association since it is
reinforced by its use in other product fields. Therefore, the
designer who wishes to tell the consumer that the pack contains
a full flavour U.S. blended type product would be unwise to
place it in a green pack. Red is the colour which is pre-
dominantly used to convey this particular image. In fact,
colour has been used to considerable advantage in the creation
of imagery. In the U.K. market, for example, it is now rarely
the case to find a high class product which does not carry
some gold on the pack. Lower delivery products tend to be
featured in blue packs. Indeed, as one moves down the delivery
sector then the closer to white a pack tends to become. This
is because white is generally held to convey a clean, healthy
association.

Brand name is also increasingly being used to convey imagery.
An example from the U.K. market is Raffles. This name provides
a direct associative link with the place from which it originates
and, in this example, provides an inference of a classy product.
Passport is an example from the Canadian market. This product
incorporates reduced sidestream and the name Passport is designed
to be associated with the notion of "Passport to Freedom".
This may be a particularly attractive notion to the Canadian
smoker who has possibly been harassed more over the passive
smoking issue than smokers in any other market. To quote one
last example, Kool on the U.S. market was designed to Convey
not only something about the product but also to appeal to the
particular market segment at which it is aimed.
It is recognised that the use of pack design as a means of
conveying brand imagery is now firmly embedded within the
understanding of the consumer. However, it is felt that given
the consequences of a total ban on advertising, a pack should
be designed to give the product visual impact as well as brand
imagery. This can be achieved at two levels:
(a}
The elements of the pack can be designed so that those that
are most important in communication terms also achieve the
highest level of visual impact. An example of this is
Marlboro where the chevron, which has very high visual
prominence on the pack, is used as a means of symbolising
the product in advertising ban markets.
(b)
The pack itself can be designed so that it achieves more visual
impact in the point of sale environment than its competitors.
Approaches to the measurement of visual impact in the point
of sale environment will be the issue of seperate reporting.
With the luxury of advertising, pack design for visual impact
has been a largely neglected area of research within the tobacco
industry. Any research into pack design, therefore, needs to
establish the ground rules as well as establishing a viable

technique. The first stage within the process of designing
packs for visual impact is to look at them on an individual
basis. To do this the technique outlined in this report uses
an item of experimental equipment known as a conventional
tachistoscope.
A conventional tachistoscope is a piece of portable equipment
which allows the presentation of visual stimulus material for
successively increasing short intervals of time. Initially,
the exposure durations are so short that the stimulus material
is presented below the threshold (known as sub-threshold).
Threshold is the level at which exposure durations are just
long enough for the individual to actually become conciously
aware of the stimulus. As the exposure durations increase
different elements of the pack reach the perceptual threshold
level. This level is determined by the visual prominence of
those elements. In this research the time intervalsused were
in the range of 0-20 milliseconds (msec). Previous pilot work
had shown that within this time span the majority of individuals
can see most elements on all packs tested. A series of studies
using the tachistoscope are described in this report highlighting.
methodological and practical issues in tachistoscopic testing.
2. EXPERIMENT I: THE USE OF THE TACHISTOSCOPE FOR MEASURING THE
VISUAL PROMINENCE OF PACK DESIGN ELEMENTS.
The initial experiment using the tachistoscope was designed to
evaluate the equipment as a means of measuring the visual prominence
of pack design elements. A variety of packs from the U.K. market
were selected for test and they were as follows:
Benson and Hedges (Middle Tar)
Marlboro (Low to Middle Tar)
Rothmans (Middle Tar)
Silk Cut (Low Tar)
State Express 555 Medium Mild (Low to Middle Tar)
Dunhill (Middle Tar)
State Express 555 Filter Kings (Middle Tar)
The king size version of each of these brands was used.

Sixty subjects were tested on each of these packs. The subjects
were all consumers from the Charter Research Panel. Any subjects who
normally wore spectacles to correct their vision wererequired to
use them during the experiment. The order in which the packs were
presented was randomised between subjects. The subject pool was
broken down into sub samples of 20 smokers, 20 non-smokers and 20
ex-smokers. Since all three smoking status groups were included in
the sa~le some notion could be obtained on the effect of familiarity
in determining the visual prominence of the design elements. It is
expected that smokers would be more familiar with the packs than
ex-smokers who themselves would be more familiar than non-smokers.
2. (I) ApDaratus: Tachistoscope
The tachistoscope consists of a viewing device which has
two fields (Figure l) [A more technical description
is given in Appendix i). The first field (A) is an
adaptation field used so that the subjects can accommodate
to the level of illumination on the second field
(field B) which is the stimulus field. The stimulus
cigarette pack is placed on field B. Illumination
on both fields is provided by a circular lamp positioned
around them. This ensures constant illumination over
the field. A two way mirror is positioned diagonally
between the fields. Whether the subject sees the
adaptation field A or the stimulus field B when looking
through the view finder is dependent upon which field
is illuminated. Illumination of the fields is programmed
using the control box shown in Figure 2. From the
wiring in the diagram it can be seen that on pressing
the start button, timer i is triggered. This has the
effect of switching off the adaptation field and at
the same time switching on the stimulus field for the
length of time set on the timer. When the stimulus
field has fired for the desired time interval, the
programming switches the adaptation field back on
immediately. There are other ways of programming the

tachistoscope: For example, the light to the adaptation
field can remain on whilst the stimulus field is exposed.
If comparisons are to be made between experiments,
however, then the method of programming must remain
constant. For the studies in this report the tachistoscope
was always programmed in the previously described way.
The intensity of illumination over the fields can be
selected using the intensity button shown in Figure
2. This level of illumination should be the same for
both fields and remain constant since it can affect
the amount of time taken to see the design elements
{see Experiment 2). This also means that if comparisons
are to be made between experiments then it should be
ensured that the level of illumination is constant
bebween the experiments. Unless otherwise stated, the
level of illumination of stimulus and adaptation
fields used in the experiments described in this
report is 100 lux (100~) giving 5 lux approximately
at the subjects eyes.
2. (ii)
Method
The subjects were familiarised with the tachistoscope
and its purpose. Some background was also provided
on the reasons for performing experiments on the
design of cigarette packs. A pack, which was not
being tested, was placed in the tachistoscope so that
the subjects were able to have a practice session before
being exposed to an actual test pack.
The 'ascending method of limits' was used to expose the
pack to the subjects. This involved presenting the
pack for successively increasing intervals of time.
One msec time intervals were used and the range was
from l - 20 msecs.

After each presentation of the stimulus material the
subject was required to describe everything that had
been seen. The experimenter took precise notes on
what the subject said and had the relevant cigarette
pack available for reference. This was important
because often it was difficult to be absolutely sure
from the subjects descriptions which design element was
being referred to.
The method of scoring involved noting the precise time
when the subject mentioned a particular design element.
For copy print on the cigarette pack two timings were
noted: the first was when the subjects saw the copy
and the second was when they were able to read it.
There is also a score for recognition of the brand/pack.
Recognition is when the subject correctly identified
the brand/pack. If the subject was unfamiliar with
the brand/pack then the recognition time corresponds
to the time taken to read the brand name. If, however,
the subject was familiar with the brand/pack they would
recognise it from its design elements. In such situations
the subject was requested to attempt to be objective
and indicate when they could actually read the brand
name.
2. {iil) Results
For each cigarette pack there are four sets of results:
the overall scores for all 60 subjects, and the individual
scores for smokers, ex-smokers and non-smokers. Each
set of results shows the mean recognition time for
the brand/pack, the mean time taken to see each design
element, the standard deviations and the number of subjects
who saw the design element. There is a close correspondence
between mean time taken to see the element and the number
of subjects who saw it. The longer it took for an element
to emerge then the fewer the subjects who saw it.

In these results colour is, unless otherwise stated,
not taken into consideration. This is because at time
intervals of less than 30 msec often the Individual
is only able to respond to the light energy from the
stimulus. Thus, only those cells (rods) in the retina
which register light 'on' or 'off' irrespective of
colour (scotopic vision) are stimulated. This means
that colour is very difficult to determine. Contrast
between colours is much more likely to affect whether
or not an individual sees any particular element. If
there is a good figure ground relationship (high
contrast) between the element and its background then
it will be seen more quickly than if there is not.
(a) Benson & Hedges
From Figure 3 it can be seen that the mean time taken to
recognise the pack for the total sample was 9.32 msec.
When :he sample is broken down into smokers, ex-smokers
and non-smokers (Figures 4, 5 and 6) it can be seen that
for each group the time taken to recognise the pack was
in the region of g msec. Of the three groups, smokers
took slightly longer to recognise the pack than others.
However, this difference was negligible.
In all cases the first element to emerge was the brand
name copy "Benson and Hedges". However, on average it
took 9 exposures of increasing duration before the subjects
saw anything at all on the pack. The general response at
these early stages was that they could see a pack shaped
block. The elements on the Benson and Hedges pack, there-
fore, do not achieve high visual prominence.
The scores shown in Figures 3, 4, 5, and 6 indicate that,
on average, the subjects recognised the Benson and Hedges
pack immediately after seeing the copy but before being
able to read it. Many reported that they had the impression

that it was Benson and Hedges because of the plainness of
the pack. Seeing the logo on the bottom of the pack
confirmed their impression. The time taken to read the
brand name was also very similar between the smoking
status groups.
Comparisons between the figures shows that the logo "Special
Filter" was always the last element to emerge. It is
quite interesting to note that at these short durations
individuals tend to think that all colours are red. This
Is because the colour receptors in the eye (cones) are
more sensitive to the wavelengths associated with the red
part of the colour spectrum. Red, therefore, is a very
visually prominent colour (Chamberlin and Chamberlin
(£)). Since gold has a high red saturation the subjects
thought the pack was red. This may have had the effect
of masking the red copy on the pack.
The order in which the elements emerge is exactly the same
between the groups of subjects. The mean time taken to
see them is also remarkably similar between the groups.
This suggests that what is being tested using this piece
of equipment is an innate perceptual process which is not
subject to the effects of familiarity.
(b) Marlboro
Figure 7 shows the overall results for the Marlboro pack.
It can be seen that it took 4.00 msec for Marlboro to be
recognised. This is considerably faster than the recognition
time for the Benson and Hedges pack. In fact it took
less than half the amount of time for Marlboro to be
recognized. Comparing Figures 8, 9, and 10 it can be
seen that Marlboro was recognised equally quickly by all
the smoking status groups. Whilst it took approximately
9 msec for any detail to be recognlsed on the Benson and
Hedges pack, subjects responded very quickly to the Marlboro

pack i.e. at approximately 3 msec. For each set of results
it can be seen that between 3 and 4.5 msec the subjects
had seen the chevron, the copy for the brand name and had
recognised the pack. The chevron is a particularly prominent
design element. This is due to two factors:
Ca)
It is placed against a white background and since it
has a high colour saturation presents a good figure
ground relationship; and,
(b) As already discussed, red is an extremely visually
prominent colour.
The copy for Marlboro is also prominent because the
potential of the parallel lines is maximised since the
eye is programmed to detect edges. The use of black on
white is another example of good figure ground contrast.
It is interesting to note that, unlike other packs which
present their parts from which the subject determines the
whole, Marlboro presents itself as a 'Gestalt'. In most
cases the subject sees the majority of detail on the pack
(i.e. the chevron and the copy for the brand name) almost
simultaneously and consequently find the pack easily
recognisable.
For smokers and non-smokers (and consequently the
population as a whole) the chevron emerges before the
brand name copy. However, for ex-smokers the reverse is
true. On close inspection of the figures it can be seen
that the difference in time between the emergence of the
two elements is very small (i.e. less than half a msec).
Consequently, It is suggested that any difference between
the ordering of these elements may be artefactual.
Readability of the brand name is also much faster for this
pack than the previous one. Correspondent with this,
more subjects were able to read the brand name. There is

some indication that smokers were able to read it quicker
than ex-smokers who themselves were faster than non-smokers.
This is quite likely to be due to factors other than
familiarity. In all but one case the subjects had
recognised the pack and some may have been more
conservative in their estimate of readability than others.
After the chevron and the brand name, the crest is the
next element to emerge. The time taken to see the crest
is again similar for all three sub-groups. After the
crest, the remaining three elements on the pack (red
line, 20 class A cigarettes, Filter Cigarettes) emerge
differently for each of the three groups. When looking
at the time differences it can be seen that the maximum
time difference in emergence between any of the three of
these elements is approximately 1.5 msec. These elements,
therefore, have very similar prominence values and which
one emerges first is quite likely to be related to chance
factors.
(c)
Rothmans
In terms of ease of recognition, Rothmans lies between
Marlboro and Benson and Hedges. Upon initial presentation
of the pack the subjects can see a dark area in the centre
of the pack. Unlike the Marlboro chevron, however, this
does not provide a clue to the brand. Even after seeing
the white brand name copy across the area the subjects
still need more time to confirm that it is Rothmans. In
all cases, Rothmans is recognised after the brand name is
seen but before it is read. No other elements emerge
between seeing the brand name and reading it. Therefore,
the sight and style of the brand name does not act as an
immediate trigger as in the case of Marlboro.
A particularly interesting feature of this pack is the
difference in the visual prominence of "Rothmans" and

"King Size". They are both in the same area of the pack
and it may be thought that the font {print) style for
'King Size~ is clearer than that for =Rothmans".
However, in all cases "Rothmans" is the second element to
emerge and "King Size" is the last. This is another
example of the effect of contrast. Since Rothmans is
scripted in white on a blue background it is highly visible.
King Size, on the other hand, tends to merge in with the
background since it is scripted in gold.
Another interesting finding in relation to this pack is
the positioning of the red area containing the copy
"filter tipped" within the emergent detail. Given its
relative size this is a particularly prominent element of
the pack design. This is again due to the use of colour
and contrast.
The emergence o? the crest, gold seal, and copy on the
bottom of the pack is inconsistent between the groups of
subjects. It appears that whilst the major elements on a
pack are fairly consistent in terms of emergent detailing,
smaller elements are more variable. However, the above
mentioned elements all fall clearly into the category of
low visual prominence.
(d) Silk Cut
On average it took 10.78 msec for the subjects to recognise
Silk Cut (Figure 15). However, there was some variation
between the smoking status groups. Smokers tended to
take longer to recognise this pack than both non-smokers
and ex-smokers (Figures 16, 17, and 18). Corresponding
to this, fewer smokers were able to recognise the pack
compared with ex-smokers and non-smokers. These findings
are contrary to a hypothesis which suggests that familiarity
plays a part in recognition of pack design elements at
these short exposures.

For all groups of subjects the first element on the pack,
i.e. the dark central square is seen very quickly. However,
the brand identifier positioned on the square takes much
longer to emerge. This, again, is due to the use of the
colour gold. This particular colour placed against the
purple background does not provide the contrast necessary
to make the name stand out. The subjects saw and were
able to read the logo "Benson and Hedges" much faster
than "Silk Cut". Even though =Benson and Hedges" is not
centrally positioned and is written in smaller writing,
its contrast with the background makes it more visible
than "Silk Cut".
The logo "Silk Cut", "King Size" and the crest are all
elements which have very similar visual prominence values
but the order in which they emerge differs between the
smoking status groups. Since the time differences are so
small, however, this change in ordering is not of any
great significance.
In all cases "Ventilated Filter" is consistently the last
element to emerge. This element is disadvantaged because
of its relative size, positioning and colouring.
(e) Dunhill
Dunhill presents itself visually in a very similar fashion
to the Benson and Hedges pack {Figure 9). It takes
some time for the subjects to see any detail at all on
the pack. This is because the detail is presented in
gold and is usually fairly fine. The amount of time
taken to recognise this pack is similar to that for
Benson and Hedges.
Similar to Benson and Hedges, and unlike many of the
other packs discussed, the detailing on this pack does
not fall into three categories. Usually, there is a

highly visually prominent element of the pack design
(e.g. the square on Silk Cut or the chevron on Marlboro)
which is seen within the first few presentations. This
is followed by less visually prominent elements which
emerge after approximately 6 msecs. Latterly, there
are those elements which emerge after approximately 12
msec which probably would not have caught the subjects
attention if they had not been forced to look for them.
In the case of Dunhill and Benson and Hedges there are
no elements which achieve high visual prominence.
Another feature that Dunhill shares with Benson and Hedges
is the close correspondence between the time it takes
to recognise the pack and the first sighting of the
brand name. Although the subjects had an impression of
a red colour pack with a gold coloured outline they
needed to see the style and positioning of the brand
name before being able to recognise the pack. With
other packs the subjects often recognise the brand
without seeing the name by making inferences from the
visib]e elements.
Comparing across the smoking status groups (Figures 20,
21, and 22) it can be seen that the gold coloured frame
is the most visible pack design feature. This is generally
followed by the impression that the pack is a red colour.
However, for smokers the brand name is reported before
the colour. This did not represent a tendency for
smokers to see the brand name quicker since all groups
tended to see it at approximately 10 msec. The reason
that the brand name stood out before the colour for the
smokers was that they were slower than other groups to
mention the colour of the pack. This could have been
due to response bias on behalf oF the subjects as through-
out this experiment they were generally looking for
design elements rather than colour.
The crest is consistently the fourth element to emerge

on the pack. However, amongst the other lower order
elements (i.e. those that emerge between 13 and 20
msec) the ordering of emergence is variable. This
tendency towards variable ordering with the less visually
prominent elements of a pack has been noted previously.
(f) State Express Medium Mild
From Figure 23 it can be seen that this State Express pack
is made up of three colours: gold, white and blue. The
white acts as a background against which blue stands
out very well but provides no contrast with gold.
Consequently, the blue parts of the pack design are the
first to be seen. Looking at the results of all three
smoking status groups it can be seen that the blue
circle, blue chevron and "Medium Mild" are invariably
the first three elements to emerge. The blue circle
and the blue part of the chevron are seen almost
simultaneously. This is true for smokers (Figure 24),
ex-smokers (Figure 25), and non-smokers (Figure 26)
with the greatest difference in time between the emergence
of these two elements being only 0.35 msec. This finding
probably accounts for the fact that smokers, on average,
report seeing the chevron before the circle whereas the
converse is true for the other smoking status groups.
Given the fact that the subjects saw the major features
of the pack design very early in the task it is somewhat
suprising that the mean recognition time for this pack
is fairly long at around 8.27 msec. The reason for
this is open to conjecture. It could have been that
the subjects who participated in this study were not
particularly familiar with this brand. Another plausible
explanation is that subjects were aware that this brand
was part of a family and were waiting to see elements
which would allow them to positively identify this
particular pack. It is felt that it is more likely,

however, that the very visually prominent elements in
this pack are not readily identifiable with the brand
as, for example, the Marlboro chevron is.
After the blue elements have emerged, the golddetails
on the pack are seen by the subjects. The fluting
around the blue circle is the next element to be seen
and is consistently followed by "5B5". It is slightly
disturbing to note that the brand identifiers take over
10 msec to be seen and are among the last elements to
emerge. However, as has been discussed previously with
the Silk Cut brand name and with the Rothman's °King
Size", this type of result is not unexpected when gold
is used on a darker colour.
(g) State Express Filter Kings
The total recognition time for this pack was 8.42 msec
which was very similar to the medium mild pack (Figure
27). A learning effect was noted in this study with
subjects recognising the second State Express pack
(regardless of which one it was) more quickly than the
first - this was counteracted by completely randomising
the order of presentation of the packs.
Comparisons between the subject groups {Figures 28, 29
and 30) show that there were differences in terms of
the amount of time taken to recognise this pack. However,
with reference to the familiarity hypothesis, these
results were not in the expected direction. Non-smokers
were the fastest at recognising this pack and ex-smokers
were the slowest.
Unlike the other packs that have been discussed, there
appears to be very little consistency between the subject
groups in terms of ordering of emergent elements. The
blue elements of the pack design tend to emerge first.

The one exception to this is for non-smokers where
"Filter Kings" emerges after the fluting around the
bl~e circle. However, in all cases the blue circle and
the blue part of the chevron are the first two elements
to emerge. Generally, the circle is seen first at
approximately 5 msec. Ex-smokers provide an exception
to this general finding. For these subjects there is a
marginal tendency to see the blue part of the chevron
before the circle. This could be accounted for by ~Ine
fact that these two elements are seen almost simultaneously
by this group of subjects.
The brand identifiers "555" and "State Express" are very
slow to emerge on this pack. In all cases they take
more than 10 msec. This finding confirms previous
findings that gold placed against a dark background does
not provide the contrast necessary to achieve high visual
prominence. Apart from the divergence of the elements
based on colour (i.e. gold elements being less visually
prominent than blue elements) the ordering of emergent
elements is highly variable between the smoking status
groups. As discussed, this finding is contrary to the
results from other pack designs. Also with previous
findings it was apparent that, regardless of the order of
emergence, for any individual element the time taken to
see it was similar between all the smoking status groups.
This tendency, however, was not seen in the data for this
pack. The reason for the discrepant findings is open to
conjecture. One possible reason is that after the circle
and the blue chevron, all the elements have approximately
equal, low visual prominence values. Given this, the
order in which the subjects mention the elements is random.
It is interesting to make a direct comparison between the
results for this pack and those for State Express 555
Medium Mild. For both packs the design is exactly the
same but the colour combinations are different. To confirm
the contribution of contrast to visual prominence separably

from the contribution shape the finding relating to the
chevron on these packs is of importance. In both cases it
is the blue part of the chevron which emerges before the
gold part even though the area covered by blue reverses
from one pack to the other. An additional finding of
interest with respect to the contribution of colour is
that on average (Figures 23 and 27), the time taken to
see the blue aspects on the pack was nearly 2 msec faster
on the Medium Mild pack than on the Filter Kings pack.
This is because blue against white provides better contrast
than blue against gold.
On the State Express Medium Mild pack the emergence of the
gold elements does show some consistency between groups.
As well as showing consistency in order of emergence, the
times taken to see each individual element is very similar
between the smoking status groups. It is suggested that
the difference in findings between the two packs is related
to the fact that in one case the gold is presented mainly
on a white background and in the other it is presented on
a yellow background. The former, because of better contrast
effects, poduces more reliable results than the latter.

2. (iv) Discussion
A technique has been described which allows measurement
of the visual prominence of the various elements
within a cigarette pack using a tachistoscope. With
this piece of equipment it is possible to present
cigarette packs to a subject for gradually increasing
short durations of time. When this is done the
elements of a pack emerge in order of visual prominence.
The packs of seven established brands on the U.K.
market were tested using this technique. Under more
usual circumstances it would be expected that the
technique would be used to test novel pack designs
that were under consideration for a market launch.

The purpose here, however, was to establish the
feasibility of the technique rather than the feasibility
of the packs for the market place. None of the
findings outlined here are intended to suggest that
any changes in the pack designs described would be
desirable. Such packs were launched with the benefit
of advertising support and as a consequence the
prevailing market situation at the time of launch
did not demand that visual prominence of the elements
be considered as a salient issue in the pack design.
Having emphasised this, however, it is still possible
to use the findings derived from these packsto
establish some of the ground rules involved in pack
design for visual impact of its component elements.
It is also important to note that although some
comparisons have been made between the packs discussed
it is not intended to make any conclusionsabout the
relative visual prominence of one pack to another. The
conventional tachistoscopic test is a test of the
relative visual prominence of elements within any one
pack and should be used solely for this purpose.
Other methods are available which allow the comparison
of the relative visual impact of packs and they will
be described described briefly in the concluding
section of this report.
Sixty subjects were tested and the sample was broken
down into equal numbers of smokers, non-smokers
and ex-smokers. Comparisons between the subsamples
allow some comments concerning the likely effects
of familiarity in this type of task. It was hypothesised
that smokers would be more familiar with the packs
tested than ex-smokers who themselves would be more
familiar than non-smokers. The results indicate that,
in terms of recognition of the packs, there was no
evidence to suggest that familiarity with the packs
had any effect on performance. In fact, it was often
the case that the non-smokers were able to recognise
m

the packs more quickly than the other smoking status
groups. However, this finding concerning familiarity
can only be regarded as an initial insight into the
phenomena. All the subjects were from the U.K. and all
the packs were from the U.K. market. Consequently, the
non-smokers tested would have had some degree of contact
with the stimulus material and therefore cannot be regarded
as naive subjects.
Comparisons were also made betwen the subgroups in terms
of ordering of emergent detail. Again, it was hypothesised
that familiarity with the packs may play a part in
determining the order in which the pack detail was
described by the subjects. From the results it appears
that elements of pack designs tend to be ordered
hierarchically in three tiers. There are those elements
that are highly visually prominent and are seen almost
immediately (at approximatley three msecs) upon presentation
of the stimulus material. Slightly less prominent
detail is seen at around six msecs and the fine detail on
the pack tends to emerge after approximatley twelve msecs.
(In the case of the latter, the detail would probably
never be noticed with a quick glance at the packs on
the point of sale gantry and it is therefore important
that such detail does not carry any information which
is highly relevant to the consumer e.g. brand identifiers).
When comparing between smoking status groups the detail
falls consistently into one of these three categories.
Hence, an element which falls into the highly visually
prominent category for one group of subjects does the
same for another group of subjects. Also, within any
category, the time differences between the emergence of
elements is often very small indeed. In such cases
variability in order of emergence between the groups
was noted. The more visually prominent the category,
however, the greater the degree of consistency of
ordering between the groups.

In the case of 555 Filter Kings the above findings
tended to break down. Generally, the blue elements
of this pack design emerged first and the gold
elements second.
Comparisons between the groups, however, indicated
that other than the divergence of the elements in
terms of colour there was very little consistency
between the groups as far as emergent detailing
was concerned. It was suggested that the reason
for this may have been due to the fact that most
of the elements have approximatley equal, low
visual prominence values and given this the order
in which the subjects mentioned them may be influenced
by random factors.
The findings relating to the hypothesised effect of
familiarity suggest that the technique is testing an
innate perceptual process which at these time intervals
in not subject to corruption from the effects of
familiarity. However, as stressed previously, it is
likely that all the subjects tested had some degree of
exposure to the packs used in this experiment. The
only true test of the effects of familiarity on the
perception of pack detail would necessitate a cross
cultural study. The design would involve comparing the
results of a tachistoscopic test on subjects familiar
with the packs used with the results from a population
in another market who had not been exposed to these
particular packs.
Concerning the hierarchically ordered categories of
emergence, it was noted that none of the detail on
the Benson and Hedges pack or the Dunhill pack falls
into the highly visually prominent category. It
was suggested that this may be the reason why, of
the packs tested, these two brands took the longest
time to be recognised. Upon initial presentation

(a}
of these packs all the subjects saw was a plain
pack shaped block. Even if they had an impression
of what the pack may have been they had nothing to
substantiate this on. With the Marlboro pack, on
the other hand, the chevron is highly visually
prominent and as a result of point of sale advertising
activity (which is often still allowed in markets
with advertising bans) in the U.K. it provides a
direct associative link with the brand. In many
cases it is only necessary for the subject to see
the chevron and they know the brand is Marlboro.
The use of such design detail to symbolise the product
is highly relevant in ban situations where it is not
allowed to promote the brand itself. For the ploy
to be effective, however, the symbol used must
fall into the highly visually prominent category.
The discussion so far has centred around the order
of emergent detailing of pack design elements.
Clearly, a most important question is what determines
whether or not an element achieves high visual
prominence? Is it size, positioning on the pack,
colour, contrast or shape? The results reported
here allow some comment on the relative importance
of these factors in determining the visual prominence
of the design elements. The overall conclusion must
be reached that contrast is the most important factor
in determining visual standout. The rule is very
simple, if the element has high colour contrast
with its background it will stand out, if it does
not then it will not. The importance of contrast
over and above the other variables is highlighted
in the following examples:
Size : On the 555 Filter Kings pack the gold part of
the chevron is larger than the blue part but because
the blue provides a better contrast with the gold
than the gold does with yellow it stands out better.

(b)
Positioning on the Pack : On the Silk Cut pack the
brand name is in a central position and is relatively
large. However, because the copy "Benson &Hedges"
is black on white (rather than gold on purple as
seen for the brand name) it has more visual prominence
despite its less advantageous positioning on the pack.
(c)
Colour: Comparing between the Benson and Hedges
pack and the Rothmans pack it can be seen that
although the red element "Special Filter" on the
former is bigger than the red element on the latter,
it takes twice as long to be seen. The background
on which these elements are placed clearly has an
important role to play in determining the effect.
(d)
Shape: A comparison between the two State Express
555 packs demonstrates the contribution of contrast
to visual prominence over and above the contribution
of shape. In both cases it is the blue part of
the chevron which emerges first even though the
area covered by blue reverses from one pack to the
other.
3. EXPERIMENT 2: THE EFFECT OF CHANGING LEVELS OF ILLUMINATION
ON EMERGENT PACK DETAIL
When developing any technique the parameters that should be
controlled need to be determined. Since the technique described
here has been previously unexplored it was decided to replicate
Experiment I on all the variables other than level of illumination.
As far as the equipment itself is concerned this is the only
variable which can be manipulated. It was felt that it was
important to determine the effect of change in level of
illumination to provide guidance on the extent to which the
technique should be standardised.

Exactly the same procedure was adopted as described previously.
However, on this occasion the level of illumination on both
the stimulus field and the adaptation field was reduced to 500
lux giving 2.5 lux at the subject's eye. A different group
of sixty subjects were tested in the experiment. The sample
was again drawn from the Charter Research Panel and was made
up of 20 smokers, 20 ex-smokers and 20 non-smokers. The same
seven packs as in Experiment i were used in this experiment.
Note:
For the Benson and Hedges and Dunhill packs a pilot study showed
that under conditions of Icwer illumination the 20 msec upper
limit on exposure duration set in Experiment i resulted in
subjects being unable to see many of the pack design elements.
It was felt that this would be disheartening for the subjects
as they like to feel that they are positively contributing
to the experiment. Consequently, an upper limit of 30 msec was
set for these two packs. However, any emergent detailing after
20 msec was not included in the analysis of the results. The
customary limit of 20 msec was used for all other packs included
in the study.
3. {i) Results and Discussion
Unlike Experiment i the group results for smokers,
ex-smokers and non-smokers are not presented separately.
This is because the familiarity hypothesis, as it
relates to smoking status, was explored thoroughly
in Experiment I. Included in the overall results
for all 60 subjects is the mean recognition time
for the pack, the mean time taken to see each element,
the standard deviations and the number of subjects
who saw the element.

The results of this experiment are shown in figures
31 - 37. It can be seen that, with the exception
of the least visually prominent elements, the effect
of reducing the level of illumination considerably
increased the amount of time taken to see each element.
For the majority of elements it took over 10 msecs
for them %o be seen. Tables I to 7 show statistical
comparisons between the results from Experiments 1 and 2.
The elements are listed in the order in which they
emerged in Experiment i. Student's 't' tests were
performed on the means and standard deviations and
standard deviations and chi squared tests were used
to make comparisons between the number of individuals
who saw each element.

From the t-values and significance levels given in the tables
it can be seen that lowering the level of illumination has a
considerable effect on the amount of time it takes for each
element to emerge and also on the number of subjects who saw
each element. Interestingly, where there are no statistically
significant differences in time taken for the elements to emerge,
the elements had achieved very low visual prominence values
under the higher illumination level. It can be hypothesised,
therefore, that the consequence of lowering the level of
illumination is to reduce the constrast effect necessary to
see the more visually prominent elements.
It can also be seen from the tables that as well as increasing
the time taken to see the elements a reduction in illumination
also means that fewer people actually see each element.
Contrary to the effect observed with time, i~ was noted that
failure to find statistically significant effect on this
measure occured on the more visually prominent items. This
is not suprising when consideration is given to the fact that
because these elements took much less time to emerge more
subjects have time to see them within the given exposure
period.
The results of this study show quite clearly that level of
illumination is a variable that needs to be con~rolled very
tightly in this type of experiment. This is particularly
important if the results of one experiment are to be compared
with those of another. The level of illumination adopted in
Experiment I was chosen to represent the approximate level of
illumination to the consumer's eye when a pack is placed on a
shelf under artificial lighting conditions. This level is
therefore taken as the standard.

¢. EXPERIMENT 3: A METHODOLOGY FOR IlZSTING A GROUP OF PACKS
WITH THE SAME BRAND NAME
The research described so far has been principally concerned
with the development of the tachistoscopic technique. A
series of different packs taken from the U.K. market have
been tested on a one-off basis. In the case of 555 State
Express both the middle and the low to middle tar versions
of the pack were tested. It was noted that with these two
packs there was a strong learning effect such that, regardless
of which pack it was, the subjects were always able to recognise
the second pack faster than the first pack. This problem
was overcome to some extent by completely randomising the
order of presentation of the packs between subjects. In the
experiments described, this solution to the problem was acceptable
since the principal aim of the study was to establish the
technique rather than to draw firm conclusions from the results.
In many practical applications of tachistoscopic pack testing
the problem of dealing with sets of packs with the same
brand name will often be encountered. This is because it is
often the case that in the pre-launch situation the brand
name will have been selected but the actual design of the
pack is under test. In this case an accurate reflection of
the visual prominence of the brand name in each design is
required. Consequently, randomisation of the presentation
order is not a solution to the problem since it doesn't
prevent the learning effect occuring. In this experiment,
therefore, a methodology is described which allows the learning
effect problem to be overcome. A selection of packs from
the Swiss market have been used to demonstrate the methodology.
4. (i) Method
One of the ways of overcoming the problem of learning
effects is to use matched groups of subjects.
Depending on how many versions of the packs there
are to be tested, an appropriate number of groups

of subjects are selected. The individuals across
the groups are matched on the basis of a number of
variables thought to be important with respect to
performance on this particular type of task. Each
group of individuals are then tested on one version
of the pack design and the results are compared
across the groups in order to determine which of
the packs achieves the design objectives in terms
of visual prominence. The success of such a methodology
is, of course, dependent on the selection of the
appropriate matching variables.
In this experiment the Ishihara (2) colour blindness
test was used as a screening device. This is
obviously an important variable when testing coloured
packs. All subjects who passed the screening test
subsequently had their eyesight tested using the
standard Snellen Chart. The subjects were allowed
to wear spectacles to correct their vision for the
eyesight tests on condition that they wore them in
the main experiment. On the Snellen chart a series
of letters are arranged linearly so that the letters
get smaller as the subject visually moves down the
chart. Each line is allocated a score and this
represents the angle at which the letters subtend
to the eye when the subject stands twelve feet away
from the chart. The left and right eyes are tested
individually and the score allocated to each represents
the last successful line completed.
The third and final test involved measuring the subjects
recognition thresholds. This is where a series of
words are presented to the subjects tachistoscoplcally
and the time taken to read them is recorded. Six
words were selected from a word count {3) all of
which have approximately the same frequency of
occurence in written English. The order in which
the words were presented to the subjects was randomised.

The first word was always taken as a practice trial and
its score was not included in the analysis.
In this experiment the following sets of packs were tested:
1. Marocaine Extra (A), Marocaine Super (B), Marocaine
Mild (C)
2. Marylong Double Filter (A}, Marylong Extra Fine (B},
Marylong Natural (C)

5. Muratti Ambassador Multifilter (A), Muratti 2000 (B),
Muratti Ambassador Extra (C)
6. Select No 2 (A), Select No 3 (B), Select (C)
Since there were three packs in each set there were
three groups of subjects included in the experiment.
There were twelve individuals in each group and
all 36 subjects were selected from GR~DC personnel.
The subjects scores on each of the criteria used
to select them are shown in Appendix 2.
The full design of the experiment is outlined in
Table 8. As a further precaution against possible
biasing due to superior performance of any one
group, the presentation of packs from a set was
counterbalanced between the groups. The packs in
a set were arbitrarily assigned A, B, and C and these
assignments are shown in the table. Reading across
the table then, for Pack I: Subject 1, Group I
received the A version; Subject 2, Group 2 the B
version; and Subject 3, Group 3 the C version.
Although Subject 7 was also in Group I he received
the B version of pack I. A full description of
the design of the experiment is given in Appendix 3.

The procedure adopted in this experiment was the same
as described for Experiment 1. Thus, subjects
were given one pack to practice on so that they
could familiarise with the technique. Using the
ascending method of limits, each pack was presented
to the subject for a maximum of 20 msec.
As with the previous experiments described, this study
was not designed to make recommendations concerning
the designs of the test packs used. However, since
in this study direct comparisons are posssible
be~aeen a number of very similar pack designs some
useful comments can be made concerning visual
prominence. It is once again stressed that these
comments are made purely as an aid to establishing
principles for pack design. It is recognised that
these products are from a market where the scenario
at the time of launch did not demand pack design
for visual impact to be considered as a primary
factor. Also, when considering the recognition
scores for these packs the fact that some of the
packs were familiar to many of the subjects tested
whilst others were totally unfamiliar must be
taken into consideration.
4. (ii} Results
The results are presented in the standard format
where for each pack the following data is given:
(a) The overall recognition score for the pack;
(b) The mean time taken to see each element and
the standard deviation; and,
(c) The number of subjects who saw each element.

The findings are presented on a pack set basis. In
most cases the points made serve to reiterate those
made in the discussion of results from Experiment i.
Again, it must be emphasised that the findings do
not indicate which of the packs in a set will be
more visible on the point of sale gantry but rather
which elements within any single pack will be more
visible.
(a) Marocaine
Marocaine Mild and Marocaine Super provide an interesting
comparison between two packs that are very similar in
design (Figures 38 and 39). In the case oF the former,
the red stripe on the pack runs through the "MAW of the
brand name. In the case of the latter, it is the "ROCAINE"
section of the brand name which is embedded in the
stripe. In both examples this has the effect of splitting
the brand name such that the part which is positioned
on the white area is considerably easier to see than
that part positioned on the red area. This is obviously
a contrast effect which is exacerbated by the particular
colour combinations used. As stated previously, at
very low exposure durations the eye is particularly
sensitive to the red wavelengths in the colour spectrum.
Gold is a colour with a high saturation of red.
Consequently, the brand name is stimulating the cells
responsive to red and, therefore, in the area where it
is covered by a red stripe (which is also stimulating
the red responsive cells] it becomes indistinguishable
from the background. The brand name on the Marocaine
pack is seen very quickly and read at least five milli-
seconds earlier than on the other two packs. This
indicates that the above findings were not due to such
factors as, for example, Marocaine presenting itself as
a difficult name to pronounce (Figure 40).

;° •
The masking effect of the red background against gold can
also be seen with respect to the copy "Maryland Fin".
This is featured on all three packs but is completely
masked on the Marocaine Super pack.
(b) Marylong
It is difficult to attempt to make comparisons between
the Marylong packs as they present very different designs
(Figures 41, 42, and 43). However, it can be seen that
the black on white for the brand name on the double
filter pack is slightly more effective than the white
on red in the naturel pack. The female head on the
naturel pack is more visually prominent than on the
double filter pack. This is probably due to a combination
of effects related to contrast, size and positioning on
the pack.
(c) Parisienne
In comparing the three Parisienne packs (Figures 44, 45
and 46) there is some suggestion that a white figure on
a dark background is less visually discernable than a
dark figure on a light background. Looking at the
packs, it can be seen that the highest contrast between
brand name and background is found on the "extra~ pack.
It is on this pack that the faster emergence time for
brand name is observed. Also, although the brand name
on the "super" pack begins to emerge at approximately
the same time as on the "mild" pack, it takes longer to
be able to read it. However, the difference between
the results for these two packs could be accounted for
by such factors as the font style and positioning of
the brand name on the pack.

(d) Brunette
The findings from the Brunette packs {Figures 47, 48
and 49) suggest that when individuals are presented
with stimulus material they look for design detail and
it is the most visua]ly prominent design detail which
stands out first. The brand name on all three packs is
presented in exactly the same colour, font style,
position, and on the same colour background. However,
on Brunette Extra and Brunette No 3 it is the background
which is seen first but on Brunette Double Filter it is
the brand name itself. It is suggested that the reason
for this is that the background on the former two packs
form part of the design detail which in itself is more
prominent than the brand name. On the Double Filter
pack, on the other hand, the background is not a design
detail but part of the overall colour of the pack.
(e) Muratti Ambassador
A comparison between Muratti Multifilter (Figure 50)
and Muratti Extra (Figure 52} tends to confirm that a
dark figure presented on a light background is more
visually prominent than the reverse style of presentation.
The brand name on these two packs is exactly the same,
the font style is the same and so are the co]our
combinations used. However, on the "extra" pack the
brand name is presented on a light background whilst on
the "multifilter* pack it is presented on a dark background.
This has the effect not only of making the brand name
on the latter more difficult to see initially but also
making it more difficult to read. Drawing from the
results on the Brunette pack, it is suggested that this
effect is probably accentuated when the dark background
on which the object is placed forms part of the pack detail
itself. Turning now to the "2000" pack {Figure 51) it
can be seen that the most visually prominent element on
this pack is the =2000" itself. It is interesting to
c:~
BATCo document for Legal Services : Health Canada 19 May 1999

-42-
speculate as to the reason for this finding. One
possibility is that it is presented in the colour red
which, as we have discussed, is highly visually prominent.
Another possibility is that the use of the double edged
lettering significantly contributed to the effect.
(f) Select
The now familiar contrast effect is once again seen to
be operating on the Select packs (Figures 53, 54 and
55i. Although it is not shown in the presentation of
the results, the stripe which runs through the brand
name had a masking effect which made it much more difficult
to read. The difference in findings be~aeen the No.2
and the No.3 packs reflects this masking effect. On the
latter pack No.3 was seen and read quite quickly but the
No. 2, which was placed on the stripe, was much more
difficult both to see and to read.
4. (iii) DISCUSSION
A methodology has been described where the problem of
the learning effect when testing packs with the
same brand name is counteracted by using matched
groups of subjects. The subjects were screened
for colour blindness and then matched on a standard
eye - sight test and on recognition threshold scores.
As a further precaution against the possibility that
the subjects in any one group may perform better than
those in another, the presentation of the packs was
counter-balanced across the groups and between the
individuals. Six sets of Swiss pack families were
used in the study.
The results of the study were reported only in so
far as they provide further information towards
guidelines concerning factors which contribute to

visual impact of pack design elements. The effect
of contrast was reaffirmed and the masking effect
of certain colours was highlighted.
An additional finding of interest was the superiority,
in visual impact terms, of placing a dark figure
on a light background as opposed to a light figure
on a dark background. This point is particularly
relevant if the dark background on which the figure
is placed forms part of the pack detail itself.
5. EXPERIMENT 4: THE EFFECTS OF FAMILIARITY ON PERCEPTION OF
PACK DESIGN ELEMENTS - A CROSS CULTURAE STUDY
The effect of familiarity on perception of pack design elements
was briefly discussed in Experiment i where the results of
smokers, non-smokers and ex-smokers were compared. It was
hypothesised that smokers would be more familiar with the
packs than ex-smokers who themselves would be more familiar
than non-smokers. From the cross comparisons there was no
suggestion that familiarity had any effect on either the
order in which the elements emerged or on the overall recognition
scores for the packs. In fact, it was often the case that
non-smokers were, on average, quicker to recognise some of
the packs than smokers. However, it was concluded that
since all the packs were from the U.K. market and all the
subjects were from the same market that this was not a true
test of familiarity. This was because all subjects would
have had some degree of exposure to the packs tested.
The question of the effect of familiarity obviously assumes a
great deal of importance in those situations where it is
desired to compare the visual prominence values of those
elements on a new pack design with those on packs already
existing in the market. Although it would be more usual to
use the tachistoscopic test in a situation where several new
pack design options are to be compared it is often the case

For the first 4 packs seventy two U.K. smokers and
thirty Finnish smokers were tested. On the last
three packs, however, only 30 U.K. subjects were
tested. In the second stage the results of 20 U.K.
smokers and 30 Finnish smokers are compared on each
of the following packs taken from the U.K. market:
1. Benson & Hedges Middle Tar
2. Silk Cut Low Tar
3. Rothmans Middle Tar
4. Dunhill Middle Tar
5. State Express Filter Kings Middle Tar
6. State Express Medium Mild Low to Middle Tar
In both stages the research with the Finnish consumers
was co~issioned by Suomen Tupakka Oy to IFH Research
International Oy. The tachistoscope used By IFH
was to the same specification as that described in
Appendix i. The procedure adopted was as described
in Experiment I. One difference between the work
conducted in Finland and in the U.K. was related to
recognition of the Finnish packs. In both the
U.K. and Finland the recognition score for the
respective unfamiliar packs is actually the time
taken to read the brand name. However with respect
to the familiar packs, in Finland no distinction is
made between being able to read the brand name and
recognising it. In the U.K. study three scores are
given for the brand name and they are:
I. The time taken for the name to emerge;
2. The time taken to recognise the pack; and
3. The time taken to read the brand name.
The latter score represented the time at which the
subjects felt that they could read the brand name
even though they may have recognised the brand
from the pack design previously.

Form
Similar to the Belmont pack it can be seen from Figures 58
and 59 that the order of emergence of elements for both
sets of subjects is exactly the same. Another feature
that this pack shares with Belmont is the ease of readability
of the brand name. Again a large majority of the U.K.
subjects were able to read this unfamiliar brand name.
Although the time taken to do this was longer than for
Belmont. The brand name on the pack is well positioned
as it is the most visually prominent element of the
pack design.
North State Mild
Figures 60 and 61 show the results for North State Mild
from Finnish and U.K. smokers respectively. The order
in which the e]ements emerge is the same for both sets
of subjects. However, an effect of familiarity can be
seen in the results from this pack. In the case of the
Finnish subjects the vast majority of individuals are
able to recognise this pack as North State. However,
the results from the U.K. subjects, where only half
were able to read the brand name, suggest that in many
cases the Finnish subjects were able to guess the brand
from factors other than being able to read the brand
name. The effect of familiarity on this pack, therefore,
seems to be in relation to the recognisability of the
brand rather than to the order of emergence of the
elements.
Kevytsavuke 5 and Ultra Kevyt I
Kevytsavuke 5 (Figures 62 and 63) and Ultra Kevyt 1
(Figures 64 and 65) are very similar in design. The
main feature of the design is the brand identifer : 5
and i respectively. The use of numbers to convey the
brand name in an advertising ban market like Finland

subjects seeing the gold border marginally (0.1 msec)
faster than the number I. Again the use of a number as
the brand identifier seems to be successful in terms of
identifying the brand since a high number of U.K.
subjects were able to do this. However, the percentage
of subjects correctly identifying the number I is lower
on this pack for the U.K. subjects than it was on the
Ultra Kevyt I pack. It is thought that this is due to
the differences in shape of the two number 1's and to
the fact that on the Kevytsavuke pack the figure ground
relationship between the 1 and its background is obscured
to some extent by the inclusion of the gold border in
the background.
It is also interesting to compare the visual prominence
of the crest on this pack with the one on the Ultra
Kevyt pack. Although the two crests are positioned in
the same location on the pack, the crest on the Kevytsavuke
pack takes much longer to be seen. The explanation for
this finding lies in the relative lack of contrast
between the crest and its background on the Kevytsavuke
pack.
Marlboro Lights
The way in which the data for the Finnish subjects
{Figure 68) and for the U.K. subjects (Figure 69) is
presented would suggest that there is one difference
between the two groups with respect to order of emergence
of the elements. It appears that the copy "lights"
emerges faster for the U.K. subjects than for the
Finnish subjects. This, however, is due to the slight
differences in procedure mentioned earlier. In the
case of the Finnish subjects the score given for ULights"
represents the time taken to read the word. For the U.K.
subjects, however, two scores are given: one for the time
taken to see the copy "Lights" and the other for the time
taken to read it. If the latter score only had been given,

results it can be seen that only two subjects were able
to read the brand name. This suggests that the font
style and contrast provided by the brand name is not
particularly readable. It also tends to suggest that
many of the U.K. subjects would never have been able
to read the brand name "Benson & Hedges" unless they
had known that it was Benson and Hedges. A similar
result was observed with respect to Silk Cut (Figures
16 and 71) where only one Finnish subject was able to
correctly identify the brand. Again it is noted that
the order of emergence of the elements between the two
groups of subjects is very similar. However, in this
case there is one slight difference between the results
with the crest being seen before the Benson and Hedges
copy by the Finnish subjects and vice versa for the
U.K. subjects.
Comparing the results for the two groups of subjects on
the Rothmans pack (Figures 12 and 72) it can be seen
that the order of emergence of elements is identical.
It is also noted that more Finnish subjects were able
to read the copy =Rothmans" than were able to read
"Benson and Hedges" or "Silk Cut".
The results for Dunhill {Figures 20 and 73), State Express
Filter Kings (Figures 28 and 74) and State Express
Medium Mild (Figures 24 and 75) tend to be slightly more
conflicting than the results on any other packs that
have been researched. This tendency towards conflicting
results was also noted when comparisons on these packs
were made between the groups of U.K. subjects in Experiment
i. Comparisons between the results of the Finnish and
the U.K. consumers suggest that for the more visually
prominent elements the order of emergence is the same.
However, as we move down the scale of visual prominence
the order of emergence tends to vary slightly between
the two groups. Reasons for this have been suggested
in Experiment I.

Overall the results would suggest that, as far as
European cultures are concerned, familiarity does
not affect the relative visual prominence of pack
design elements. Apart from a few exceptions
(usually on low prominence elements) the order in
which the design elements were seen by Finnish and
U.K. subjects was exactly the same on both Finnish
and U.K. packs. The one area where familiarity
does play a part is on recognition/readability of
the brand name. Although the order in which the
copy of the brand name was seen was the same regardless
of whether the subjects were familiar with the
pack or not, the ability to read it was very dependent
on familiarity. Benson & Hedges and Silk Cut are
good examples of this type of effect. The ordering
of emergence of these brand names was the same for
both groups of subjects. However, many more U.K.
subjects were able to read the brand names than
Finnish subjects. If the U.K. subjects had not
known what the brand name was then it is likely that
they also would not have been able to read it.
The cultural independence of perception of emergent
detailing indicates that if readability of the
brand name is of particular interest to the pack
designer then within the westernised context at
least it is quite feasible to test the packs in
another market. This is because the findings reported
here highlight the fact that apart from the readability
of the brand name, the results obtained on a
tachistoscopic test in one market would be the
same as those obtained in another market whether
or not the subjects are familiar with the pack
design. How far these results are applicable to
non westernised markets where the reading style is
completely different is a matter for further research.

which the elements were recalled may correlate
highly with visual prominence of pack design
elements. Consequently, as well as noting whether
or not an element was recalled, the order in which
the elements were recalled was noted.

In contrast to the Benson and Hedges pack where all
the elements on the pack were recalled by at least
some of the subjects, only three elements on the
Marlboro pack were ever recalled (Table I). These
were the red chevren, the brand name copy Marlboro
and the crest. The findings of Experiment l indicate
that these three elements are also the most visually

scores for visual prominence are somewhat displaced
relative to those for recall. The firs: reason for
this is that colour was not measured using the
tachistoscope. However, if it had been measured it
certainly would not have been the first aspect of
the pack to be noticed since gold is not a highly
visually prominent colour. The reason for this
apparent discrepancy between the visual prominence
of gold and it's cognitive salience as far as Benson
and Hedges is concerned is most likely due to
advertising influence. Gold is the theme of all
Benson and Hedges advertisements in the U.K.
The second discrepancy in comparing visual and
recall order concerns the embossed "B & H" emblem.
Visually this has more prominence than it has
cognitively. However, it should be noted that
although the emblem was mentioned before the crest
and "Special Filter" it was actually recalled by
fewer subjects. Apart from this, however, of the
common elements measured in both experiments the
results tend to support the hypothesis that visual
prominence is related to recall salience.

contrary to the tachistoscopically produced hierarchy
of elements in terms of visual prominence. If it
is hypothesised that the most visually prominent
elements are recalled first and more often then,
based on the results of Experiment l, it would be
expected that "Benson and Hedges" would fare better
than nSilk Cut". It is suggested that one of the
contributing factors to this result may have been
due to the use of familiar brands. The more
appropriate experimental design would have been to
show the subjects hitherto unfamiliar brands for a
specified period of time and then to ask them to
recall them. In this experiment, however, the
subjects were required to recall the brand "Silk
Cut". This type of task obviously may enhance
recall of the brand name over the above small detail
such as =Benson and Hedges".

From Tables 6 and 7 it can be seen that both State
Express packs simulate contradictory recall data.
For the Medium Mild pack at least half the subjects
never recalled any pack detail whatsoever. One of
the reasons for this may have been due to lack of
familiarity since this pack had been withdrawn from
the U.K. market for at least six months by the time
this experiment was conducted.
Of those subjects who did remember some design
aspects of the State Express 555 pack (Table 6) it
can be seen that the blue chevron was recalled more
often than any other element with a tendency for it
to be recalled first. However, apart from this
fairly consistent result the other elements were
not only recalled just a few times but the order in
which they were recalled was highly variable.

The lack of consistency in the recall results is
also apparent in the data for the 555 filter kings
pack. Although the dark circle tends to be recalled
first, "555" was recalled more often. However, as
indicated for the Silk Cut pack, it is open to
conjecture whether the relatively high reca]l of
this element was stimulated by the type of task.
This comment is also relevant to the relatively
high recall rate seen for the logo "State Express".
Apart from these three elements the recall rate was
comparatively low for the design elements on the
pack. Additionally, it can be seen from the average
rank scores that the order in which the elements
were recalled was highly variable between subjects.
As well as a failure to find consistency in order
of recall of the design elements from these packs
it was noted in Experiment l that comparisons
between the experimental sub-groups (Smokers, Ex-
smokers, and Non-smokers) revealed that there was
little consistency in terms of their ordering in
visual prominence terms. It was suggested that
this result may be related to the fact that many of
the elements on these packs are all of equal, low
visual prominence. It is possible that corresponding
to this the elements all have equal, low cognitive
salience and it is for this reason that order of
recall is highly discrepant between subjects.
6. {iii) DISCUSSION
This experiment represents a preliminary enquiry
into the relationship between visual prominence and
cognitive salience. The underlying theme of this
type of investigation is to address the question as
to whether or not the achievement of high visual
prominence of particular important elements within
Q 1986 B.A.T (U.K. ~d ~,l:pon) L~m~ted. This report musl not be copied or sh~n xo unauLhonscd

a pack design will be associated with the consolidation
of that information (whether it be a symbol, brand
name, corporate crest etc.) by an individual.
The experiment reported here can only be regarded
as a preliminary investigation because of the ad-hoc
manner in which it was designed. The U.K. packs
used in the tachistoscopic Experiment l were tested
on a number of U.K. Smokers. There are several
confounding variables which may cause pit-falls in
this type of approach where subjects are tested on
already existing brands from the market place. The
first uncontrollable variable is due to the effect
of familiarity. Some of the subjects tested may be
more familiar with the brands thar~ others. It was
suggested, for example, that the results relating
to "555 Medium Mild" may be related to thefact
that this brand had been withdrawn from the market
at least 6 months before this particular experiment
was conducted. In the situation where the subjects
are tested on novel pack designs (i.e. modelling a
new launch situation) the confounding effects of
familiarity would be negated and a more accurate
reflection of the relationship between visual
prominence and recall salience would be gained thereby.
One further finding which may have been due to the
effect of familiarity was related to the recall of
crests. Invariably a crest was recalled by at
least one individual for each pack. It is suggested
that this may have been due to a minority of
individuals believing (quite rightly) that all
cigarette packs in the U.K. feature a crest rather
than actual recall of any particular crest.

It is also interesting to note that the greatest
inconsistencies between the subjects in terms of
order of recall were found on those packs where
there had been difficulty in obtaining consistency
in terms of rank ordering of visual prominence of
the elements between the sub-groups in Experiment I.
Additionally, on these packs (State Express $55
Filter Kings and State Express 555 Medium Mild)
although a large number of elements were recalled
in total each element was actually recalled by very
few subjects. This finding is contrary to the
results of other packs where a small number of
highly visually prominent elements were recalled by
a large number of subjects. It was suggested that
the reason for the above finding may be that low
visual prominence elements correspondingly achieve
low cognitive salience.
7. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
One of the growing problems facing the tobacco industry
in developed markets is the increasing restrictions on
advertising. This is exacerbated in the context of a gradual
move on behalf of the industry to develop innovative products.
On this basis it is perhaps more important than ever that
communication with the consumer is maintained.
Given the above scenario the cigarette pack itself assumes a
great deal of importance since this is likely to be the last
means of communicating with the consumer to be affected.
As far as pack design itself is concerned, there are two
aspects which are important and they are brand imagery and
visual impact. With the luxury of advertising most of our
effort in pack design has been on the side of imagery.
Thus, the imagery created using the advertisng media is
carried right through to the pack design itself. Brand
imagery has now been developed to such an extent that as

The aim of the research described in the report has been to
develop the methodology involved in tachistoscopic testing.
However, the results have been used to establish some of the
principles involved in the design of cigarette packs in
order to achieve visual prominence of the elements. In the
first experiment the precise methodology involved in
tachistoscopic testing was outlined. Sixty U.K. subjects
were tested on seven U.K. packs. The subject sample was
broken down into three groups of twenty smokers, non-smokers
and ex-smokers. The sub division of the samples allowed a
cursory look at the effects of familiarity in this type
of task. It was hypothesised that smokers would be more
familiar with the packs than ex-smokers who themselves would
be more familiar than non-smokers. It was predicted that if
familiarity did affect performance it would take one of two
forms. Firstly, it was felt that if consumers recognised a
pack they would describe the elements of the pack design as
they recall them rather than as they saw them. Secondly, it
was predicted that familiarity would enhance the recognition
scores on these packs. The results were discussed in terms
of the familiarity effect and of the factors which contribute
to the visual prominence of the design elements.
As far as familiarity was concerned it was concluded that in
this sample there appeared to be no effect at all. Comparisons
between the subgroups presented no evidence to suggest that the
more familiar subjects saw the pack design elements any
differently than the less familiar subjects. The order of
emergence of the elements between the groups was very similar.
Basically, the design elements on the packs tended to fall
into three categories. There were the highly visually prominent
elements that emerged after approximately three msecs, the
less visually prominent elements that emerged after 6 msecs
and, lastly, the elements with low visual prominence which
took approximately 12 msecs to emerge (in the case of the
latter these elements would probably never be seen with Just
a quick glance at packs on the point of sale and therefore
they should never carry any important detail). It was found

Since tachistoscopic testing of pack designs is a previously
unexplored area the second experiment described in this
report was designed to test the effect of varying the level
of illumination on the stimulus field. As far as the
tachistoscope itself is concerned this is the only parameter
which is variable. In Experiment i the level of illumination
was 100% which gives 1000 lux on the stimulus field and 5
lux at the subject's eye. This level was chosen because it
approximately represents the level of illumination found on
the shelf of a point of sale gantry. In Experiment 2 the
level of illumination was turned down to 50% which gives 500
lux on the stimulus field and 2.5 lux at the subjects eye.
The procedure adopted was exactly the same as in Experiment
i. Thus, 60 naive subjects were tested on the seven packs
described in the first experiment and the results were
compared. It was found that the major effect of reducing
the level of illumination was to considerably increase the
amount of time taken to see each element. This effect was
less pronounced on the least visually prominent elements.
It was hypothesised that this result was a consequence of
the fact that lowering the level of illumination reduced the
contrast effect necessary to see the more visually prominent
elements. This result has obvious implications as far as
merchandising in the instore environment is concerned.
The third experiment in the series was designed to deal with
one of the practical applications of tachistoscopic testing.
It is anticipated that the main function of tachistoscope
testing will be in the pre-launch phase where the brand name
has already been selected but there are several possible
design options. A typical question will be concerned with
which font style best conveys the brand name. It was noted
in Experiment I that of the two State Express 555 pack versions,
the one that was presented second was recognised more quickly.
Thus a learning effect was operating in this experiment. In
Experiment 3 a methodology is described where the learning
effect is dealt with by using matched groups of subjects.

It has been stated that the tachistoscopic test should not be
used to make comparisons between packs in order to achieve a
relative overall measure of visual impact. However, it may
be the case that in designing an individual pack the objective
is to make the brand name stand out on that pack better than
it does on an already existing pack on the market. A situation
may also arise where it is desired to gain some understanding
of how other packs on the market work in visual impact terms
before any new designs are embarked upon. In these situations
the possible biasing effects of familiarity on performance
could provide distorted results.
In order to test the familiarity effect a cross cultural
comparison was conducted between Finland and the U.K. A
complete cross over design was employed where both Finnish
and U.K. subjects were tested on both Finnish and U.K. packs.
The findings indicated that as far as emergent detaiiing was
concerned, familiarity did not affect the results. However,
familiarity did affect readability of the brand name. Although
the order in which the copy of the brand name was seen was
the same regardless of whether the subjects were familiar
with the pack or not, the ability to read it was positively
affected by familiarity.
However, the fact that perception of pack design elements
is, within the westernised context, culturally independent
means that if brand name is of particular interest then the
packs can be tested in another market. How far these results
are applicable to non-westernised markets, where the reading
style is completely different, is a matter for further
research.
The final experiment outlined in this report (Experiment 5)
was designed to assess the correspondence between the visual
prominence of pack design elements and their cognitive
salience. The procedure involved taking the brands used in
Experiment l and asking subjects to describe from memory
their design detail. This experiment was ad-hoc in nature

and is consequently confounded by a number of pitfalls such
as the style of presentation of the task, the biasing effect
of advertising on performance on this type of task, and the
effects of familiarity. Despite all it's drawbacks, however,
the results of the experiment are encouraging and indicate
that, generally, the elements recalled by consumers are those
that achieve high visual prominence scores.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
The technique described so far has utilised existing packs
from the market place. In order to extend the concept of
tachistoscopic testing so that it is more versatile in terms
of the cost of pack variant 'mock-ups', a facility is under
development for testing new designs using a high resolution
computer graphics system. With this system it is not necessary
to go to pack mock-up stage. Using a micro-computer, the
system allows you to paint on a high resolution display In
any one of 64 colours. With the aid of a software package,
anything that can be drawn on paper using a pen can be
reproduced on the display. Once a new pack has been designed
it can be photographed off the display and tested in the
conventional tachistoscope in the usual way.
Further research in the area of testing for visual impact
will mainly involve testing the relative prominence of one
pack against another within the merchandising context. A
method using a projection tachistoscope is being developed.
A projection tachistoscope is in principle the same as a
conventional tachistoscope except that when using this piece
of equipment the stimuli are projected onto a screen. This
means that the size of the stimulus is only inhibited by the
size of the projection surface. Consequently, it is possible
to project a point of sale display onto the screen for
successively increasing intervals of time. Controlling for
pack layout and position on the display, the relative prominence

of target packs can be measured in terms of the time it
takes to locate them. Another approach to enhancing the
prominence of own brands at the point of sale is to place
them in the most visually impacting areas. Eye gaze monitoring
techniques are currently being developed to allow us to
determine where these areas are. These researches will be
subject of formal reporting in due course.

PORTABLE TWO FIELD TACHISTOSCOPE
General Description:
The Tachistoscope used in this study is a Two Field (fld)
model for displaying material presented on cards, having an
active viewing area 7~" wide X 41" high (190mm X ll4mm). The
cards themselves should be cut from 0.030" thick stiff white
card as follows:
Fld. i. card: 8~" approx. (210ram) X 8" exactly (203.2 mm)
Fld. B. card: i0~" approx. (266.7mm) X 5" exactly (127 mm)
The cards are presented at a distance of 20" (508 mm) from the
subjects eyes. The visual angle subtended at the eyes is
approximately 21° horizontally and 13° vertically. Small
solid objects up to 7" wide (180 mm) 4" high (100 mmi and 3"
thick (75 mm} may be acco~odated in the Fld. B. lamp compartment
on a small wooden block. The Fld. B. card holder has four
terminal nuts to allow access for this. Each field is illuminated
by a fluorescent lamp which is circular for even illumination.
The adaptation field (mirror image) is seen by reflection in a
surface coated glass half-mirror. The front of the Tachistoscope
may be raised for easier viewing by means of a pair of lifting
feet. The adaptation field card is slid into a card holder
beneath the instrument. The stimulus card Is fitted into a
card holder at the back of the instrument.
The card illumination intensity is adjustable over the range
250-1000 lux giving 1.25 - 5.0 lux approximately at the
subjects' eyes.
The instrument employs silicon semiconductors and integrated
circuits throughout. To ensure cool running of the unit the
fluorescent lamps are switched on from a high voltage supply
and maintained from a lower voltage one. A comprehensive
range of programmes is obtainable, including repetitive and
hold operation.

For programme checking each Timer has a LED pilot lamp showing
when an output pulse is being delivered by the Timer.
Field Lamp Drivers:
Each Field Lamp Driver has two DRIVE sockets and two INHIBIT
sockets. The DRIVE sockets will turn the lamp driver on for
as long as + 5 V is present. The INHIBIT sockets will hold
the lamp driver OFF for as long as + 5 V is present even if
DRIVE is simultaneously present. The threshold is + 2.5 V.
The + 5 V socket is provided for patching into a lamp DRIVE to
hold that lamp driver on.
Next to the Lamp Driver sockets are mounted the lamp INTENSITY
controls. They control the intensity of the illumination in
each of the Optical Unit lamp compartments over a range of
4/I. Each lamp driver has a neon lamp to indicate the state
of its associated fluorescent lamp in the Optical Unit.
Programming:
To obtain a sequence of timed operations it is necessary to
interconnect the Timers and also the Start Pulse Circuit. Timer
interconnection is by connecting the INVERSE OP socket of one
Timer to the TRIG socket of the next.
The first Timer input may be fed from the Start Pulse circuit
START OP socket for single shot push button operation or from
the INVERSE OP socket of the second Timer for continuous cyclic
operation.
Connection from Timer to Field Lamp Driver to switch ON fluorescent
lamps for the duration of the timed period is by connecting a Timer
OP to a Field Lamp Driver DRIVE.
Connection of a Timer OP to a Lamp Driver to turn the field lamps
OFF for the duration of a timed period may be made by first
connecting the + 5 V socket to a lamp DRIVE socket.
