Packaging

Packaging is the <a href="/facts/Science/IJoaD7rs">science</a>, <a href="/facts/Art/ILbnQHHb">art</a> and <a href="/facts/Technology/9Uav5WVR">technology</a> of enclosing or protecting products for distribution, storage, sale, and use. Packaging also refers to the process of designing, evaluating, and producing packages. Packaging can be described as a coordinated system of preparing goods for transport, warehousing, <a href="/facts/Logistics/0Hr2w55W">logistics</a>, sale, and end use. Packaging contains, protects, preserves, transports, informs, and sells. In many countries it is fully integrated into government, business, institutional, industrial, and for personal use.
Package labeling or labelling (<a href="/facts/British_English/ymJR5Rnd">British English</a>) is any written, electronic, or <a href="/facts/Graphic_communication/ruePWQHG">graphic communication</a> on the package or on a separate but associated <a href="/facts/Label/7bducQe4">label</a>. Many countries or regions have regulations governing the content of package labels. Merchandising, branding, and persuasive graphics are not covered in this article.
