"Packaging innovation is a tool that can be used to both reenergize existing brands and also to bring new brands to life. Packaging should be seen as an investment in a brand and not just a cost to business. In some cases, a packaging innovation can drive additional value for the brand by generating both lift in the market while actually costing less to produce."¹

- Jay Gouliard, Vice-president Packaging, Unilever, in September 2007.

"A product that we deliver today is a lot more than just the food material. It's the packaging. When we work on [our brands] to try to grow them and make them bigger and more global ... packaging is going to play a role in doing that."²

- Stephen Gaeta, Unilever Bestfoods, Director of Packaging, North America, in May 2004.
