Abstract

Packaging is a way to protect the product and facilitate marketing and distribution to manufacturers, distributors, and consumers. The process of bringing product and package together is usually the last step of the product manufacturing operation, although assembling packages within other packages or further units often follows product packaging.

Look at your spending, not with the purpose of eliminating it, but with the purpose of finding ways to spend the same amount to create more value.

Louis L. Allen (1972).
