Packaging is a basic requirement for all products¹. It is the process of providing a protective and informational covering to a product in such a way that it protects the product while simultaneously providing relevant information about the contents of the package¹. Product packaging is also important in both the selling of goods and for the representation of the brand to the customers². The global packaging industry was worth around USD1 trillion (Tn) in 2021³.
