Abstract
The purpose of this research is to analyze the packaging and labeling design of the
traditional snack foods produced by the Malay SME in Malacca. Traditional snack foods
are a type of meal, which is popular among Malaysian consumer especially during festive
seasons. However, in spite of its reputation, it is found that some of the products are still
packed in cheap packaging material hence lacked the sense of value and quality. As a
result, many snack food producers have difficulty in terms of positioning their products in
major wholesale outlets or exporting to overseas market. Part of the reason is because the
packaging and labelingmethod fail to comply with certain standard set by the government.
In this paper, there are three interrelated phases of study. The first phase was a one-to-one
interview with several respondents, which include a CEO of the Production Technology
Division of the Chief Minister Department of Malacca, a Senior Executive Designer of
Sirim Berhad, a Graphic Design practitionerand a number of Malay SME entrepreneurs in
Malacca. In the second phase, the researcher conducted a visual analysis by visiting
several places including manufacturing premises, food expositions, and retail outlets.
Through this process, the researcher observed and analyzed the packaging and labeling of
the traditional snack foods in the aspect of visibility, information, emotional appeal and
workability. Finally, in the last phase of the study, the researcher conducted a survey of
consumer preferences. 200 respondents were selected among the visitors of the 'Xsean
Halal Food Exhibition" which was held at the MITC in September2004. The respondents
were asked to complete a questionnaire concerning their preferences on packaging and
labeling of the traditional snack food of Malacca. Their responses were documented and
presented in descriptiveessay format.
