Why do manufactuers use different packaging styles for FOOD!?!
it has to do with the item's shelflife and the item's status as being sterile.
the insides of can are sterilized. freezer bags are not but contain very little bacteria. coffee comes in sealed containers or containers with a one-way valve to keep a handle on gases the material produces which cause beans and ground beans to age faster. boxed pasta sometimes needs a dry environment with minimal air circulation... hence cardboard... and so forth.
sometimes of course it is for individually wrapped meals or snacks within a larger package... almost purely as a gimmick for customer attractiveness (and extra trash unfortunately).
Answers: yes... part of it is to attract consumers... the pictures... the colors... but in terms of cans versus plastic bags versus cardboard boxes versus cartons... etc

It's all about attracting consumers. You have to have a product that stands apart in some way or another from everything else to attract your specific target market.. That's why
Yes they do. The change the packaging ever so often to make it more appealing and to get you to buy it. Take soda cans, for example.
In laymans terms--Make macaroni box bright red, people buy.
To distinguish their product from other companies.
