Introduction 3. Packages are often defined by their intended destination ⚫ Consumer package: A package that will ultimately reach the consumer as a unit of sale from a merchandising outlet. ⚫ Industrial package: A package for delivering goods from manufacturer to manufacturer. Industrial packaging usually, but not always, contains goods or materials for further processing

The Protect/Preserve Function 1. Considerations related to the protect/preserve function ⚫ “Protect” refers to the prevention of physical damage. Specifics on what will cause loss of value (damage) must be known. ⚫ “Preserve” refers to stopping or inhibiting chemical and biological change and to the extension of food shelf life beyond the product’s natural life or the maintenance of sterility in food or medical products
