Functions of packaging

There are billions of pounds spent every year on packaging food and other various items.

Packaging is essential for the protection, safety and cleanliness of food and items, but there are a few of the many notable uses that we are going to be focusing on today.

Packaging…

Protects a product from contamination and damage

Every product that is to be package will need to be protected against the possibility of it being dropped, crushed or any vibration it may undergo during transportation. Delicate products will require tough packaging. It must also be protected against climate changes etc.

Keeps products together

There are some shapes that cannot be packaged simply, e.g. some fruits and vegetables. There are, however, certain types of packaging products that can simplify this seemingly impossible feat.

Benefits storage and stacking

On your weekly supermarket shop you will notice the way products and packaged goods are stored. Some stacked, or side by side – it is the packaging that makes this possible and simple.
