PACKAGING It has gained great importance in our daily lives. Packaging basically protects your stuff from waste and encloses your products which would help as a shield against water, dust and sunlight. It is a beautiful face on your product and helps your product get attention and buyers.
Importance of packaging:
Almost 90 percent of the products fail because of their packaging alone, people do not have time to read all the ingredients and compare the pros and cons of each product, they just choose the one that catches their eye and is one of a hundred.
How many times do you stop and read the ingredients of a new product and weigh its pros and cons? Only once in a while, or sometimes not even that, but just making your product look good is not the reason for the packaging, it protects your product against all big and small problems, like sunlight, rain, water, dust, breakage, waste, and many others.
But let’s think that we save our product against all these but destroy our Earth. Hmm? Is it fair enough? Isn’t it being disloyal to your land and harming it only for your own good?
The amazing thing is that people have started to consider this and they all prefer eco-friendly packaging. People are becoming more aware of products and even more aware of their packaging.
The future of packaging is ECOFRIENDLY PACKAGING.
It has many benefits and can change your lifestyle. It would make our Earth a healthy and clean place for our new generations to live. If we kept polluting our Earth, it would be a huge, disease-filled garbage heap with only minimal natural resources.
1. Decrease in material grouping: Leaner, with a firmer contour, lighter, less difficult.
2. Packaged closer to manufacturing – fewer empty containers being trucked in.
3. Crafty Bundling: Fast printing, cross-aligned, and ongoing offers; increased use of RID innovation for electronic tagging, stock tracking, as the cost of RID tags decreases.
4. Better reuse: Less demanding reuse of packages, higher rate reused materials in new packages.
5. Biodegradable packaging: eg plastics produced with starch, increased use of cardboard.
6. Space-saving packaging, eg development of square beverage containers.
7. Customer Returns Pack – Change in resealed pockets to keep pace with the tremendous development of internet ordering of, for example, garments where customers regularly arrange a few sizes to try on and return most of the merchandise ordered.
8. Better approaches for printing branding/display on plastics, eg bottles.
9. Less use of solvent-based inks for printing.
10. Solidification of the packaging industry: economies of scale with bigger machines, faster delivery times, cutting-edge innovation.
How do these affect our lifestyle?
1. It reduces harmful gases such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, and thus would increase oxygen.
2. A cleaner environment to breathe.
3. Less pollution throws things away, since they can all be rushed.
4. Save money; Less money is used for packaging and shipping costs, since it is slim and does not require much space.
5. Use less raw materials.
6. Save us a lot of natural resources for the future.
7. Less destruction due to the use of ecological things.
8. Recycling things would decrease the use of resources.
9. Less poverty.
10. Less diseases.
All of these would help us live a healthier and more peaceful life using eco-friendly packaging and would soon become a lifestyle we all need. For more details, see our My Box Packaging site.
