Almost every product purchased by consumers has some sort of packaging. Packaging is used to contain, protect, preserve, inform, influence purchasing decisions, display and transport a wide variety of types and styles of products. Types of packaging range from boxes to bags to bottles and are found in markets such as food and beverage, cosmetic and pharmaceutical, health and personal care, automotive and hardware, and many others.
