Getting
products from point A to point B
A lot goes into a package
other than just the product itself. For many types of
products, it takes weeks or even months to develop the proper
packaging. Virtually every industry uses packaging of some
sort. Packaging serves the following primary functions:
Containment, Identity, Protection, & Utility. In some
cases, promotion and/or preservation are key elements of the
package. Several different types of protective packaging will
be discussed, from corrugated containers (brown box), to
specially designed steel shipping racks. Also, the packaging
development process will be explored.
