The packaging protects the product through various ways such as it protects the products from natural deterioration and gives physical protection. There are many natural elements which may damage your products like heat, cold, water, gases, fumes, bacteria, insects etc. Appropriate packaging can effectively protect your product from probable damage caused by natural factors. The packaging is also popularly used for physical protection such as internal product protection, improving shock protection etc.
Besides providing protection, the packaging is also used for providing safety especially for the products which are considered hazardous for the users as well as for transportation. These products are radioactive materials, highly inflammable liquid and gas, toxic materials etc. Nowadays, many people distribute or serve food through food packaging particularly in celebrations and special occasions which eventually reduces waste.
The second basic function of packaging is the containment which starts from spots of adhesives to use various materials like stretchable and shrinkable plastic films, papers or wraps etc. There are stronger bulk boxes made out of a fabricated form of metal or plastic, or corrugated board etc. in order to perfectly protect the product.
The third basic function of packaging is providing information. The consumers of the product get the necessary information from the packaging such as general features or ingredient of the product, net weight or quantity of the product, detail information of the manufacturer including the address, price of the product etc. Similarly, the medicine packaging provides the detailed method of preparation, nutritional value, date of manufacturing and expiry date, cautionary information etc. Often the colour of the packaging provides information.
