There’s also a bit of psychology that can play into why things are packaged the way that they are. Apparently, an object that arrives in a large box makes customers assume that they got a good deal on their purchase, even if they didn’t. Elements like the color, shape, and texture of a package can even influence how the customer feels about it. Receiving something small is underwhelming. But if you get to pick up a huge box from your front porch, there’s probably a small part of you that will become excited about getting to open it up. (And if you have a cat, they’ll be thrilled about the box too.)
