We used a dichotomous manipulation of packaging atypicality, that is, the packaging was either typical or atypical. Future studies should investigate the effects of product claims in combination with increasing degrees of atypicality on product evaluation (e.g., from low, to moderate, to highly typical). As Schoormans and Robben (1992) showed, consumers directed more attention towards a coffee package and evaluated the product as better when the package looked more atypical. However, when the deviation was too extreme, attention increased but the product was evaluated less positive. The authors argue that this effect may occur because the product is no longer categorized as belonging to the specific product category when deviation from the prototype is too extreme. It remains to be investigated how different degrees of deviation from a prototype affect processing of product information, such as product claims.
