Just where would we be without the all-important but often overlooked invention of product packaging? Without it, the transport industry would be next to nothing. In order to keep the product in its best condition from creation to the customer it must be packaged in the proper manner, else stock will suffer. It is because of this that business relies on expert packaging techniques provided by only the very best packaging manufacturers around the country.
There are many purposes of packaging. Some obvious, others not so. This article should provide some insight into the purposes of packaging and their labels. The first thing to come to mind is of course for physical protection. Protection from, among other things, shock, vibration, compression, temperature etc. Foam packaging is best to provide this sort of protection, providing the goods with enough padding to survive the shipping process, from the manufacturer to the customer's home, with no deterioration.
Packaging also provides a barrier of protection from oxygen, water vapour, and dust. This is a requisite and permeation is indeed a critical factor in packaging design. Because of this, some packages contain desiccants or oxygen absorbers to help extend shelf life. This is a common occurrence with products shipped with cardboard packaging, where small bags of desiccant are often found alongside the product. In some food packages, modified or controlled atmospheres are maintained in order to keep the contents clean, fresh, sterile, and safe.
In many cases small objects are typically grouped together in one package for reasons of efficiency. Stationery for example is often all kept in one piece of cardboard packaging. Similarly, any liquids, powders, and granular materials need containment in order to avoid contamination. It is for these reasons that packaging manufacturers are necessary for both containment and agglomeration purposes.
