Description
Summary:Without packaging, it would be very difficult to distribute consumer goods. The packaging protects the merchandise during shipment, informs the user about the product, extends the life of the product, and last but not least, it helps the economy and the recycling process, especially with the latest trend on being environmentally friendly. A packaging box should confer mechanical protection when manipulating the product, but also should be economically feasible when it comes to production costs. The packaging material that meets the above criteria is cellulose. “Packages made from corrugated cardboard are products made from renewable raw materials, which can be optimally integrated into production cycles”[1]. Design packaging takes into account factors like manipulation, shipping, distribution, and product marketing by using graphics and information printed on the package. As a result of this, packaging designers are looking for solutions that make the packaging life cycle optimal and feasible when taking into account factors like mechanical strength, chemical, climatic and biologic
