Abstract

This article examines the role of texture's physical properties symbolic information in the process of attributing meaning to the product and the brand. We have used three packaging textures for two product categories, chocolate and coffee: a texture whose surface properties do not carry symbolic information, and two others whose surface properties bear a gendered symbolic dimension, feminin or masculin. So, we study the impact on beliefs, perceived quality, gendered dimensions of brand personality, attitude and purchase intention in two contexts, visual and visual-haptic. We also study the mediating role of pleasantness for packaging texture on these links. This research provides a first empirical validation of the role of packaging symbolic texture information on product and brand judgment and the mediating role of pleasantness.
